My First Drawing without a Reference ...

Well, it was a day where-in I had loads of work and there was the regular chain mails going on parallelly and with awesome music in the background, it was what I would say a perfect day. You must be wondering, "How can a day be perfect with loads of work ..". Well, you would understand when you finally get work after a week or so of being jobless.

Yea, so I just wanted to take a 5 min break from the 'hectic' schedule and I dint know what to do coz my friends were not in office yet. So, I took my Keane notebook and was very keen on using this new black pen that i got from the Keane stationary [DON'T LAUGH !!] :"> ... So I just thought let me try drawing something without a reference and below was the outcome.

I actually wanted to make a flare at the skirt, but inbetween I guess I changed my mind and since i couldn't erase I just made something out of it.

Do give your honest comments on how it has turned out.
Would reall appreciate -ve comments so that I'd know where I need to improve. :)

Fallen Angel and Lil Rock Star ...

Fallen Angel:
I really liked this quote "Nobody really cares if you are miserable ... So ... Might as well Be Happy :)".
Sounds nice na? :)
And my mom's bday was round the corner so I thought I'd draw something for which the above quote would sound apt. And then I found this pic of an ethereal creature fallen on the ground and decided that this was THE PIC and started drawing. This pic which I had for reference was really a teeny weeny pic of size 170 x 220. Therefore all that I could make out was a hazy outline. Thanks to my animation classes I was able to picturize the pic and drew it.
This was my first attempt of drawing from memory.
And for the frame, I mixed Red and Prussian Blue paints, to paint something else, but the outcome was this really AMAZING shade of purple which I really really really loved. And yup, for the frame I used this.
My mom really loved it [The Quote, the Angel, the Colors and of course the Purple Frame :D]!!!

P.S: This pic below does not bring out the rich purple look. :(


LiL Rock Star:
Hmmm ...
This is a funny story indeed. There was this time when I was all of a sudden curious about Goth and Emo's Culture [I honestly dunno why]. Goth Anime in particular. Used to really hunt for related pix and Emily is one of the famous goth/emo characters.
She's a lil gal with long black hair dressed in a black frock and often with a cat[who of course is black] ...
When I found a pic of Emily with a guitar I thought I should give it to Girish.[No idea why this pic for him]
Initially I thought It would be real difficult n stuff but as I progressed it turned out pretty well ;)).
I had informed Girish that I FINALLY drew something for him. And poor guy was all happy ...
:">
Anyways I continued making the frame. What I had in mind was just a simple rectangular frame with a support kinda thingie behind. That's it. It should have taken me max an hour. BUT, when I was doing this I was watching TV I guess and I cut it a lil more than reqd and the rectangle went for a toss. And the worstpart was that I could not change the frame coz I had already stuck the drawing to the frame :( :( :(.
Nywayz I tried my best to repair it, giving it a zigzag effect n all. But ended up spoiling it evenmore!!!

Finally when I was just looking around here and there for some junk which I could use to fix the frame, I spotted my guitar. And an idea struck. And below is what I finally made ;)).


Now, do u think I gave this to Girish?
He He ... He still complain anytime I draw something. He says with a pout, "Yea Yea, keep drawing and keep telling that this is for you and keep them yourself .."

Emily aur Billi:

This is another of Emily with her Feline personality. ;)
