Something I made...



I made this last weekend when I was forced to stay back in pune for some stupid work. I took the picture from this month's DNA magazine's cover page. I somehow just loved the snap and couldnt resist making a sketch of it.

I am not sure if I can call it a sketch. I mean I have used color pencils and not just a single pencil. It cannot be a painting as I did not really paint (or did I?). Does coloring using pencils come under painting?? I have no clue, havent been to any art class and I dont really care. It just helps me take my mind off other mundane things.

hmm... may be it is... i have no clue.. I decided to call it a sketch because I used only pencils... color ones but still..:)

Its a Drawing! N a very good one at that.. :) "anybody can paint.. it takes an artist to draw"

Look up sketching/painting/drawing on the net.

Color pencils are an amazing media.. you'll notice that u cannot cover up mistakes with them as easily as u cud with (color)paint!

@Ria..
Thanks for commenting...:)
got these definitions from wiki:
Drawing is a visual art which makes use of any number of drawing instruments to mark a two-dimensional medium.
Painting, is the practice of applying color to a surface.
A sketch is a rapidly executed freehand drawing that is not intended as a finished work, often consisting of a multitude of overlapping lines.

I am too dumb to differentiate between them :) but ya .. calling it a drawing makes more sense i guess..

fubu told me that you have bookmarked my blog... Thanks for having the patience to read all the crap I write :)..

Hey "Draw"er!

Hmmm... well the only "innovative/creative" writing i do is emails :P! I am toooo impatient to write.. [I hate writing Test cases and bug descriptions]. :) The reason being that i m the extra/ultra/super talkative.. Instead o describing a gloomy rainy day/shiny sunny day.. I would rather pick the fone and yap away abt how wet/hot it was!

Plus with such awesome writers around..Its better that i do the second best thing i lov doing.. READ :P
