Back home from CTNX 2013!!
I just returned from an amazing trip to Burbank for the CTN expo!! Had a great time meeting all the inspirational artist and my Facebook buddies! I was also a part of character design Panel with Tony Siruno and Florian Satzinger and did a small Demonstration for the Copic markers as well! Overall had the best time of my life!
Looking at all the best of talent under one roof I felt like a kid in an amusement park! Every direction I would turn there were people I looked up to or followed on web!
Anyways here are some of the pics I took at CTNX! (....In most of them I look like a teenager with his rockstar idol! :P :D)

Another Character design WIP...
I really love using Markers n water colors to paint my characters. It gives a very loose and fresh feeling to the artwork. For some reason I love the way a actual brush feel than a Digital Pen! :)

New Sketchbooks arrived!! :)
Bought myself some sketchbooks of some of my favourite artists from Brandstudiopress last
week! These are filled with some awesome sketches!
As Charles William Eliot
says...“Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most
accessible and wisest of counselors, and the most patient of teachers.” I have always made it a point to buy some of the great art books available out there. It really helps you peek into minds of other artists, see how they approach art. And it also helps as a great motivator when you are feeling down!
I believe that if you really want to become
great, surround yourself with great people, great books and have some great
habits.
I shall post more pics of some of the other books that I have and a
list of must have books soon...
