Stray Strokes and Clicks

A very close friend of mine recently made me play what is called "The Cube Game". I had to imagine a desert, a cube, flowers and a storm, all within a setting related to me (I think :P). Apparently there's some kind of a psychological interpretation involved regarding how I imagine these things. What I saw seemed like a good idea for a sketch. This is what I came up with:

Cubed

I do plan on colouring it, but it's taking a painstaking amount of time on Photoshop and I lack patience so I posted the ink version anyway. :P (I have a scanner now, yay!)

Oh and this beautiful creature (and it's appretite) won me a prize at a college event today:

A Trophic Encounter

I seem to always be winning things in college thanks to insects. :P

Anyhow, I feel like being useful. So hopefully, there will be more artistic endeavours in the near future!

Cracked Up (Coloured)

This would be the first time I have tried colouring anything in Photoshop... And I dare say it does not look bad at all. No, it wasn't done today, in fact, I'd meant to upload it last month itself but not having a net connection most of the time played spoilsport.

I'm feeling a little ambitious right now so yes, people, prints are available if you're interested! (This one is smaller than the original). Drop in a comment and I'll tell you how to contact me. And since I get a copy of all comments delivered to an old mailbox (unless it acts up, of course) you can also leave your email address and delete the comment if you're concerned about privacy. :)

I'd made another pen and ink doodle a few days back but I'll wait for my best friend's exams to get over so that I can have it scanned instead of just taking a stupid picture using a low-res camera. Sniff. How I long for so many things! Oh well.

Cracked Up

This would be another pen and ink doodle made last night. I absolutely hate the fact that I lack a scanner and need to take pictures using a low resolution camera. :| Waiting for feedback!

PS: Shubho naboborsho to all the Bongs!

Floral Wall

I made this wallpaper (1600 x 1200) this afternoon after taking a picture of my mattress using the phone camera. :P It's basically photo-manipulated in Photoshop.

Leafy Sprinkle

For some reason I was in a pretty creative mood today. Of course, it is quite likely that Internals and the need to study for them is the real reason behind that. I've noticed that I feel the greatest urge to write, sing or even draw during exams. I wrote today after ages... something too personal for the blog. However, there is this bit of digital art I made later in the evening.


It is 600 x 600 pixels and completely digital, with practically no stock picture, made using Photoshop, which I hardly know anything of. All said and done I think it would make a neat CD label. Feedback is welcome. :)

Nachtmusik :P

So I am lousy at water colours and this thing just proves that but I spent the afternoon painting this today so I figured that it might well be put up since I actually having nothing to do. Heh. I guess that is what I had to say, yes. :P

Pearly Tears

I started on this late last night and finished it before going to bed. Pen and ink, as usual. :)

This would be another view: from my desk.

Bird

This is just something I made some minutes back, to celebrate the end of the end-semester exams. I had taken the stock picture sitting on top of the terrace water tank last year. :)

Scream

Something that can pretty easily be called CRAP. But well, I needed something to do, so yes. Thankfully, the mood has passed. :P However, the writing bug seems to have left me for a prolonged holiday. Sigh.

With Shaky Hands

So I made another pen and ink doodle last night, while being interrupted six times by a crank caller who has been in love with dialing my cellphone number since the first week of August. This would be this poor, lonely, and really desperate fellow's number:

+919002559714

If there are any other equally lonely and desperate souls out there in the blogosphere, I suggest that you get in touch. Oh I don't believe this, I'm actually playing matchmaker! Yay me!

Now getting back to this doodle, let me just add that I have no idea why I made it, just that I felt like doodling. Tee hee.

Careless Strokes and Scratches

I had meant to put up some doodles I had made sometime back, but finally decided to take pictures today. This is mainly for the viewing pleasure of Ship who had wanted to see them and had hitherto not been able to.

This one was done in pen and ink during my last semester exams. Just a simple doodle.

Also in pen and ink, and a doodle.

I painted this today. Just water colours... stuff I had been a little wary of touching.

Comment: It looks strange and horrible, I know. However, I had the picture inside my head and decided to do something about it. So here it is. Laugh and deride all you want.

Insanity

Comment: I was bored. During a class. Oh well. I expect even more derision this time. And digicams are horrible.

Entropy of the Mind

Yes. I have procrastinated enough. Today, I made myself another CD cover. *Jumps up and down happily*

This is another album added to my arsenal. *grins*

Here's a picture of the front cover :

Artistic Musings

I had spent last evening making two 'Thank You' cards. Thankfully, I could get the two pictures scanned this morning, before I gave them away. These are the pictures I drew for the two cards ...

Do drop in a comment or two.
