Note to Myself:

You kept moving with a limited set of people with the same interest as yours.. You felt good that you have some additional “skills” in drawing / scribbling..

Mr.Bridgman kept a skeleton in his locker at the league. When he wanted to explain some difficult point of anatomy he'd haul it out and holding it up by a brass ring in the skull, point out the bones he was describing and work them back and forth to demonstrate his point. "See that", he'd say, folding the wrist back toward the forearm, "This structure here does it", and he'd go on to explain how the bones and muscles of the wrist worked. "Its a damned wonderful thing", he'd say. "take…

Hi all, 

I just want to know, that. is there any Indian made masking fluid available  with approximate price as of now (in Bangalore)? With camlin, apsera brands etc ? Because wherever I am asking for this in shops, all  available is the imported masking fluid. and is very expensive.

Or do you have any alternative to masking fluid where we can use that technique? 

Thanks for your any replies.. :-)

Regards,

Chandra

On December 9th (Sunday) , Vijay of(http://poetryinstone.in) is planning a guided trip on the  Pallava art trail around Chennai. 

If interested perhaps we can do the PencilJam there, will be great experience since Vijay is an authority on the subject of Dravidian sculpture.

It will be a day trip. Just heads up. Once I get more details I will followup, on timings, whom to RSVP etc.

What you see below is a collaboration between myself and a dear friend. While the art/figure concepts were mine, the fashion part belongs to the friend. The entire series was painted digitally in 3-4 days time, hence the very sketchy, hurried feel to it. I was hard-pressed for time, as I was just about to leave for a 10 day trip (and was in the midst of making preparations for it), while the project also…

This was the other topic that we briefly touched upon this weekend. Thanks Balaji for reminding me to post this summary.

When we begin to sketch on location, here is a general approach.

(1) Identify your frame

• First step is to Identify a subject, or view of interest. 
• Fine tune the view by visualizing the frame If needed using a view finder. (Make a simple view…

The mini talk this weekend in Chennai was on Gesture. I thought it might help to post a summary

When we begin drawing, we begin to look at the subject in 'total'. and try to capture the very essential, by ignoring elements such as form, proportions, anatomical details, etc. 

Using a scribbling approach , beginning at whichever part of the subject one wants to, the overall appearance, or 'feel' of the subject is captured.

The 'method' is to look at the subject and…
