Oh! Villain!

" Oh! villain, villain, smiling, damned villain!" - William Shakespeare

Dug up some villains from my sketchbooks and had a go at them with an unopened box of crayons after millions of years!! (Inspired by a 5 year old colouring Queen!)

YAWWNNN...

Was really boreddd...on a break from work. So many things I could do but couldnt really make up my mind, so I was just yawning and stretching when I thought let me try to capture that feeling. Direct with the wacom. Does it capture the mood...?

Insomnia...

Just couldn't sleep one night,
so I finished my sketchbook
instead!!

A tribute to BOLT

Some book cover drafts...

Book Covers are fun to do... they don't pay much (at least in India) but you can think of a quick concept and knock it off in about a day's work and see it in print pretty soon!

Rendevous Romantic

Mo' Malmo Memories...

Sketching in warm cafes.... watching people scurrying about outside!

Here Soo is planning out our next day...

While waiting in the University Library...

Afternoon 'Aircut!

Fooling around on photoshop with the wacom, but its getting a bit boring now, about time should stop being lazy and paint with some REAL materials...
(For the full story of this day... go to
'Revenge of the Hairdresser')

Jet Streaked Scandinavian Sky

A view from our Study table window in Malmo...there are so many jet trails ALL the time in the skies here!

Malmo, A Wednesday night

A Night street scene in Malmo, outside a popular mall where some guys are distributing pamphlets and coupons for some free thing or the other.
(The woman in the poster was an earlier sketch but the people weren't fitting on the page on the right...so in order to spill them over to the next page I made the woman's sketch into a poster to fit it in with the composition )

Bicycles...on a rainy day

Top View!

An illustration for a Romanian website, Alanon Romania, that I did just a couple of days back...

Super-Market Series!

All these were sketched at a super market nearby and then coloured later on
Click to view in a decent size :)

I really enjoyed colouring the girl on the extreme right..just using the polygonal lasso tool...was fast and fun!

this cute kid was my silent admirer at the mall!

REA means SALE in swedish...I superimposed the sketch
on an image of a shopping window I had earlier clicked.

Tall Tales from Gothenburg.

While sketching in Gothenburg, I couldn't help wondering how tall the Swedes were! So I tried to caricature a typical cosmopolitan guy there...exaggerating his height a leeetle bit tho.... Then painted on with the stylus.

At some point though I had switched off the line drawing layer... and this is what I saw!!
I quite liked it :)

The Original Sketch...is this better than the coloured version??!
