Sketches


one of my very few colour sketches...usually prefer a normal pencil. Was sitting and doin nothing. There was a box of chalk-crayons and my hand in front of me...here is the result.

Had finished reading Salman Rushdie's " Shalimar-the clown" and had this image of a Kashmiri woman in my head. Dont know if the sketch looks like a kashmiri woman...i dont even know what their basic features are or what kind of clothes they wear, did not do any research on them...just sat down and drew this. After i finished this, I named it the "The Blue Valley" for some reason...

ah...the BEST bus of Bombay...mumbaichi parivahan seva...an illustration done for a book i was designing(along with other designers, thru Design Intervention for Tara Ultimo) on Bombay.
The process was too painfull and long for some reason...but i quite like the end result.
