Monsoon...

Rainy season has begun in India and Konkan is definitely one of my favourite place to visit in every monsoon. Here is the sketch of a traditional Konkani house to give you an idea of what it's like to be in konkan during the monsoon.

Virtual Plein-Air study...

Film studies...

Few film studies for today...
I'm usingcinematicpaintings.com to get references for these studies. Really great site to visit if you want to study cinematic lighting and composition.

Ride...

I'm in desperate need of a long vacation.... :)

A quick study before bed :)

I'm using MapCrunch for these studies. I wanted to have something as a focal point for this one so I added a pirate ship.

Here are some color studies I did for warm-up before work :)

3 Value studies...

Some 3 value composition studies from imagination. I was trying to find out different ways to draw same composition using just 3 values and different lighting. Which one do you like?

Free time sketch...

Guest...

This one started out as a daily warmup sketch and I ended up with the second sketch of a canyon and Scifi architecture. I wanted to add a little bit of story in it so I came up with the one with spaceship and caveman. Hope you like it :)

Free time Sketch...

Here is an interior sketch inspired by my friend's room. It was really a fun exercise to use his room as a reference to design space for my character.

   

Kareri Lake trek...

Whenever I get some time off from my daily routine I try run away from the comfort of the city and spend some time in the mountains. I had a day off on last weekend because of Holi and I found myself  packing my rucksack for Indrahar pass trek in Himachal Pradesh. Unfortunately Indrahar Pass trek was closed because of the heavy snowfall. Unwilling to give up just yet and go home without trekking, we decided to attempt Kareri Lake trek and it turned out to be a right decision. We could not complete this trek because of the heavy snowfall but it was an amazing and refreshing experience.

 Beautiful Kareri village, starting point of the Kareri lake trek
