From the deep

comes the magical sea dragons. I saw these gorgeous creatures recently in the phenomenal documentray  Blue Planet 2 and thought of making a card for an illlustrator friend of mine. So here it is. 

when you are not yet ready

for the photograph and a something crawls on the ceiling.

Greyscale

Lately I have been using Mischief. I love the simplicity of it, especially for quick sketches. 

This is a memory sketch of a gentleman i saw on the way to work.

People sketching - 01

I found some really cool people sketching tutorials from my favourite and terrific illustrator Brandon Green - https://youtu.be/IuuD9mJ8Gz0

I did a sketch of one guy  from Iamchicago.net after watching the tutorial, although i got carried away in details when doing the coloring bit. But I will do few more where I will try to explore more on design part. 
For now here is the finished sketch. 

More from the vault

I realized, since this will be my main place where i will post all my drawings and paintings, I would keep everything here. Hence I am gonna post some really old stuff too. Bear with the me please :) 

so this one is two robot concepts I did for a short film we wanted to create in our studio - CineChromatix, back in 2014. The designs were approved from couple of options and then my colleague who is an incredible modeler, realized them in 3d. sadly we never got time to do our short film. I also did few storyboards for that, we thought of a live action/vfx based film. 

This one is concept of  drone for a TV series called Tartort kalstart, you hardly see the drone in the shots as its a night shot, out in the dark, all one sees is laser beam from one of the drones. But hey I got to design and model and animate a drone :)   

and here is the turntable of the model - https://vimeo.com/236828561


Now these are even more older stuff, practice paintings from photographs.

Some Old Stuff

I haven't done much drawing/painting recently. But I found some old stuff while copying data to my hard drive. These are mostly greeting cards done at work and for friends whom i work with. 

      This was for company Christmas dinner couple of years ago.

This was last year's Christmas card for my company, we wanted to have 'Nightmare before Christmas' look. I designed the characters in the center, long time ago when we wanted to make a short film of our own. We didn't manage to get time, so we end up usually using them as our mascots. I also made some storyboards for the short, which i will upload may be in other post.  

The last two were cards for friends - one who smokes a lot and the other who is a big fan of Darth vader.

Colored version

I decided to color one of the sketches from India. I used a different skin tone palette, more of a Caucasian this time. just to see how it works out.
