Samita Learns to Draw and Other News

So I am drawing some comics and some other illustrationy, designy things that will hopefully see light of day eventually at some point in future if I manage to finish it without dying or turning homicidal or turning into a turnip or i should stop gulping so much cough syrup now. While I am busy doing all that, I also managed to get into the habit of sketching more, finally. Rather to be specific, studying things more. Mostly studies of other studies and photographs and we must not forget posemaniacs! Old Indian Photos has a brilliant brilliant stock of photos from waaay back. But happily, I have also managed to go out, like the outside world, and sketch there as well. Or at least started to, and hoping to continue. because i really need to learn to fucking draw. among other things. like fire eating. or knitting.










This one was at Dhakuria Lake last sunday for the sketch meet. It's obviously a different kind of exercise to draw/sketch/paint from life as opposed to a photograph which never changes so you can take your time with studying it and drawing from it. And incidentally, it's been a month or two of growing love for drawing, bordering on addiction. Not that I am complaining. lemonades.

In other news! I am going to be at Escape! Happily they thought it was a good idea to have me make mess on their walls, so WHERHEY! May should be fun. whole entire twenty days to escape. wh000p!

Now I go back to hating impossible deadlines in between coughing like a 90 yr old and dying.

(also, I fucking HATE my scanner)
