Scenic Picture

Source of Art: Self
Date: Around 1989
Materials used: Drawing paper and Pencil
Description: This was done in Chennai. During my younger days, I always worked on getting trees and plants and flowers, during one such session I concentrated on getting my shading done right. This was probably the first of my art work done by me. I still have to have this framed. So excuse me for publishing this so.

Tanjore Dancers

Source of Art: Tanjore painting
Date: Jan 1995
Materials used: Drawing paper and Pencil
Description: I converted the painting into the Pencil sketch. Most amount of time was spent on getting the eyes and fingers. I am still not satisfied with the result but it was a great learner. I did this during the study holidays for my undergraduate engineering degree at RV College, Bangalore, India. The art was completed in Chennai

Self Portrait

A Never ending epoch
