I was inspired to sketch this scene from a snap posted by my blog friend & photographer Indrani on her Frozen Moments! I was sketching with Pen after years and realized that I was a bit rusty...and impatient with my strokes.
Awesome! Have you seen Van Gogh's drawing. Not the paintings, but the lesser seen drawings. You can google images him. Your pen marks remind me of Van Gogh!

Hello. WoW! Rusty or not, this is AMAZING! Fantastic detail...so lifelike. Nicely done, my friend! Thanks for sharing. I appreciate your visits too. Bookmark your calendar and come join me for Blog Hop Saturday! #3 on 6-7th July. All you need do is linkup, visit a few/all of the others in the Linky and just have fun. Hope you can make it!
I did not know you sketch, Ashok :) I am really really bad with all this. When you say, rusty and impatient, reminds me of the only art class I attended and the trainer said,"A drawing is never complete, you just abandon it".
I love this drawing, you have given the old man a sense of fragility, the atmosphere, the atmosphere of this drawing is very special. And you 're not rusty ;)
I can't comment on the technical aspects since I don't know any more than the art teacher in school taught me. However, as a viewer, I would like to tell you that you did one fabulous job on this one with just a pen. In college, I used to scratch down some random items using my pen on my notebooks while waiting for the next professor to come. But it was nothing like you sketched here. It is very difficult to add the little details in this kind of sketches but I can make the fine difference between one tree form another, one stone to the other. The visibility of elements such as the man's shadow, the returning birds, give this a realistic view. Even before I read your lines beneath the sketch, I felt as if this could very well be a black and white photo. What a camera did, you managed it through a pen. And yeah, the man does look like Mahatma Gandhi, the difference being that this person in your sketch has a lot more hair on his head. :D
Don't be so self-critical. It's lovely. Wish I could do half as good.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Have you seen Van Gogh's drawing. Not the paintings, but the lesser seen drawings. You can google images him. Your pen marks remind me of Van Gogh!

ReplyDeletewhat your trainer said is so true chintan...
DeleteI have riddle..In the morning, it has four legs, in the midday, it has two legs, and in the evening, it has three legs.
ReplyDeleteThis art is exactly the answer. Very nice!
yes, this is the evening!
DeleteI think you are being hard on yourself. Pen is a very difficult medium and you did a great job. Way to go.
ReplyDeletei agree, Pen is a difficult medium as there is no chance for correction unlike pencil sketching.
DeleteI love this drawing, you have given the old man a sense of fragility, the atmosphere, the atmosphere of this drawing is very special. And you 're not rusty ;)
