Studying oranges...

Little still life study for today...

Also sharing my first attempt. I wasn't happy with it at the time so I abandoned it and started over again. Looking back at it, there is something about it that feels really good :)

1st Attempt

Final

Study in watercolour and gouache....

Little watercolour study to end the day...

Colours took a bit too long to dry due to rain and humidity. It was fun experience to paint everything wet on wet to get some interesting edges that I don't usually get.

Scaling clouds...

Composition Studies...

Some composition studies using same subject matter but trying to convey different emotions. Its crazy how small changes can make a huge difference in the emotional impact of the image.

work space design...

Had to visit a bank for some work yesterday. Girl on the counter was working very fast (as fast as flash from Zootopia 😅) so I found some time sketch her desk.

Chicken truck...

Something that always comes to my mind when I see these trucks 😅. Little sketch dedicated to all chicken lovers out there.

Still life study...

Cool down sketch before bed...

Plein air study...

Outdoor sketching with watercolour and gouache...

Mermay challenge sketch...

Here is my take on mermay challenge this year. Will try to do some more before month end if possible.

My good friend Ankush Cholia gave a really helpful feedback on my initial sketch. It is crazy how very subtle changes can helpful describe the character personality in a better way.

Make sure to check out his Instagram  profile, you won't be disappointed.
