Sketches

SHRI

A few sketches from my daily practice sketchbook.

A few sketches done this week

 Just for fun I got myself a regular drawing book usually used in schools.

It cost around Rs. 20/- that's 30 cents! Surprisingly it turned out great

for daily Sketches and studies! The size is great for carrying around

and the pages have a nice not so obvious texture that works great with pencil! 

Need to try Copic markers on this! 

Character sketches

A few character Design sketches done last week. #characterdesign#sketches #art

Some character designs

SHRI
A few character designs and sketches done last week.

I feel that I am getting to know the digital brushes a bit better now. Hopefully soon I can achieve the same rendering style effect like the original gauche and watercolors. Need to practice and explore these brushes more!

Hope you guys like these designs! :)

New Illustrations

A few Illustrations I did in between work. Usually when I sketch for fun, I don't plan the whole illustration but start with just one sketch and then build the rest of the characters and environment around it. 

I don't know if its the better way but what I have realized is that once I see some subject on the paper I can visualize more things faster and better. Hence even when I am drawing my character I start with the face first. Once I see the personality I can draw the suitable body and gesture around it. Not a hard n fast rule but most of the time it works! :)

Daily practice

A few Daily Practice character sketches.

A quick illustration

SHRI

A small illustration based on an Idea. I wanted to do a quick sketch but I spent a little more time and having fun drawing the foliage behind! :D Hope you guys enjoy it. :)

Did one more with similar process. Started with a single character design sketch and then built the BG around it.

A few warm up sketches

Character designs based on online references

SHRI

A few quick character designs done based on a couple of interesting photos of Indian Middle aged men I saw online. Most Indian men will be engaged in a similar pose most mornings. Either wondering about political updates or trying to solve the crossword puzzles. :) The guys on the top right corner is wearing a Indian style Monkey cap quite often worn by older people.
