my first Digital Painting

well..here is my first attempt at digital painting, tried doing a potrait of an old frnd- G.Chandrashekheran(Chandru)..who had been my mentor while i was learning animation in my early days

here is a bombshell waitress..

some old cartoons..really old cartoons..just got my hands on them today so thoughgt i ll upload them..

some assorted drawings..

Female and Horses are by far the two most difficult things to draw,because it isnt about getting the anatomy right-its also about the grace and elegence they reflect..i had been drawing for almost a decade now..but i still cant get it right..its frustrating at times..but very yielding ,none the less.

Someone said it right , "never draw a women until you fall in love with one..",I had always been in love with them so its about time i start to draw them.

i just figured that you can upload more than one images at one go..

here is another of those..

keep lookin...

..and another

another one ..

Another sketch..

enuff of cartooning..here is some serious livesketchs

here is a caricature of two of my students (who were inseparable friends.)

Here is another one

here is one for the animal lovers..

That sortov takes me back to my school days..

its not my favourite pic ; Although its always fun to look at somebody getting the shit kicked out of him..

sometimes its so confusing for you to figure weather the character needs 3 fingers or 4 fingers..

Remember..earlier i had a problem with my action figure lookin too young..here is the real thing..(i dnt know why the girl is there,but i like the tattoo..on her bottoms.)

its always fun to have someone beaten up ..eh..

was trying to caricature a friend..didnt entirely turn out right..but hey ..what the heck

tried caricaturing a friend..didn't really turned out so well

okey..maybe she is not all that hot..but lethel none the less

nothing like a hot chick with a firearm..aint it..??

well.. with the gangsta in place how could we miss the broad..lol

Here is a good ol' fashioned gangsta..i intend to call him Tommy Gunn..

Just wanted to do a stylised action figure..ummmm..but may be he is a bit too young.

Misadventure of Aroop Dwivedi

Aroop Dwivedi born in 1976 in a small village called Shivdin Purwa in Central UP, always enjoyed the pleasure of most rustic upbringing ad mist the cows, goats, lakes, ducks, mango grooves,tube wells and the co villagers relieving themselves under open sky, Initially interested in playing cricket for the country, he had to ditch the ambition because of a serious accident that took place involving him and his schools windowpane ,the whole series of event culminated with him being expelled from the school. His illiterate self without an ambition in his life and without education, started to communicate with people through drawings..his another interest was digging nose,which kept his right hand busy throughout the day therefore leaving his two feet's and his left hand to draw, he tried drawing with all the three and then decided that drawing with left hand is easier, cause that way he can also draw when he is walking.
Within several days, he mastered the art of drawing with his left hand and became a prodigy in his village, where people never thought that the left hand is supposed to be used for anything other than ..Er..personal hygiene . Later in 1978 National Geographic did a feature on him called"The Human Evolution and the Missing Link" where he played the 'missing link' and Forrest Gump played 'Evolution' ..through the unperturbed popularity greatly owed to this show, he was able to receive enough grants to continue his education in a big city near his village.
For the next few years things changed fast and Aroop Dwivedi acquired various new talents, some of which are Eating with Spoon, tying shoelaces, cracking an egg, tying a windsor knot, pissing standing upright, and a rather grotesque use of paper(read tissue).
It was only in 1998 that his love for drawing resurfaced when during an uneventful evening he had an epiphany by a goddess dressed in a fur coat and wearing a zig zag hair parting on her head, she then went on to challenge him to compete or perish..he ,too scared to do either, ran away from home yet again,it was only than that he realized his true destiny was to draw, draw and draw and since his destiny had more than one 'draw' in it, he ended up in Animation (his folks at home still call it ammunition). and he had been drawing ever since.
He loves cartoons so much that he has married some one whom he thinks is Lola Bunny..!!but who actually is a Russian Spy trying to involve him in a huge conspiracy against the Outsourced American Animation work in India and also trying to steal his eternal secret of drawing with left hand.
