Nameless

Been quite long since I wrote some useless stuff here. Laziness. Aargh!

Got back to practicing some sketchin last night. As is obvious I don't have any innate talent for drawing. Just that images, especially pencil sketches, fascinate me and I thought why not explore the stuff some more.

Interesting to see what just a little bit of training can do to your non-existant drawing skills. Was reading stuff about proportions of a human face yesterday and tried to put those to practice right then. The sketch on the right was scribbled many moons ago and quite haphazardly. The 'portrait' (he hee he!) on the left is the result of some basic proportion-gyaan.

The devil, they say,is in the shading. It's a bloody art in itself and can take years to actually get even moderately good at it. Must spend lot of time practicing that.
