I see people, I sketch. It helps when they sit since they are less likely to move around. Here are some live gesture drawings of people around me.

I boarded a little something on the recent Surgical attacks phenomenon that took the nation by storm. Our PM earned some real brownie points by coming up with the phenomenal idea, undertaken successfully by our super jawaans. So based on the information available through the internet, articles and news, I have tried to imagine how the attack may have actually taken place. Let me also add that this is a work of fiction. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead is purely coincidental.

People and Places

Sketching crowds of people is something I really enjoy, whether at restaurants, airports, cafes and of course the Mumbai local trains. So many people with different characters, expressions and moods. I'm sure people get pretty scandalised with me staring right at them. But more often than not, I get away with it. Every now and then, I tend to associate faces of people that I sketch with someone I already know or some character from a movie. Like this lady seated at the airport. Doesn't she remind you of Amy Farrahfowler from the Big Bang theory?

            Another thumbnail study of one of the cooler scenes from Kung fu panda 2. Po's dream sequence where he gets beaten up by the radish, who does kung fu too. Oops, have I said too much :O Still this sequence is worth a watch for those who haven't already.                                    
                                                                       

So for the past 1 year, I've been working on a show called Eena Meena Deeka. The show is a slapstick comedy series which essentially tells the story of a constant chase between a cunning hungry fox and three chicks Eena, Meena and Deeka. The perennially hungry fox is forever on the prowl for these chicks who are always at the ready to foil his plan and out-fox him.  Every failure goads the angry but determined fox to devise even more cunning plans to outwit them in every passing episode, which usually ends up being a wild-chick chase. Here are two sequences that I boarded on from the series.
