Tried an abstract art, hoping you like it.

Elsa from Frozen

This is Elsa reinvented from my point of view. Hmm I'd like to make it clear that yes it does look like Pop Art but it is not!

Pop Art? No!!!--------Why?

It's been done using Artline Drawing System 0.4 Pen (Black Pigment Ink) and plain black paint for the background only. I am actually experimenting on different ways that one can use besides Pop Art yet the end result should look like one!

Give a girl the right shoes and she can conquer the world. -----Marilyn Monroe

Amy Winehouse

Tried out Amy Winehouse using Mars Black paint and Crimson red for the lips.

Lana Del Rey

Completed Lana Del Rey fan art, the wording in the drawing is from her own quote:

I knew I wanted to do something creative. I didn't think I'd have the luxury of doing something like that, because I didn't know anyone who had pursued anything they really adored, but I had dreams for singing or writing.

Another trial

There you go, another trial using Polar Coordinates and Smoothing out.
Imagine!
And, the Fan Art section is in progress :)

Tried something out ;)

This is a little thing I tried. I'd figure this out as a small world!
Used Polar Coordinates for the effect :)

To my awesome viewers

Howdy everyone,
since our count is having a skyrocketing increase (almost 700), I'll soon be posting the famous dedicated section!!
But the problem is that I don't really know what theme to come up with...
Well.......
'thinking'
'thinking *2'
'still thinking'
Yeah got my idea!! Well I would've given you a hint but this time we'll keep it a little secret :)
Be patient, coming soon!
Till then, happy viewing, See you :*

Sharing with my audience

What is art for me?
Art is my way of expressing myself freely. I perceive  artistic talent as a gift from God since if it is being utilized in the correct way, it can make you reach to the utmost pedestal of success.
People have addressed me as being a perfectionist. At first I did not want to believe them but later on when I really realized what they saw in me, I now see myself as a perfectionist.

Well, it is said that perfectionism leads to depression but critics, comments and people's evaluation towards my work motivates me more than ever to self evaluate myself and be better day by day. Everyone around me says I have a talent yet I don't see that. Instead I can spot the smallest mistakes and imperfections in my work as well as other people's work.

Yes, I tend to be disheartened  and stressed when the outcome I expected does not meet my standards but I don't give up because once I have something in mind, NO MATTER WHAT I will achieve it! For me, art is my passion and my way of creating a unique character and of course standing out of the crowd.





Remember: Aim for excellence and strive for success.

Aztec mini composition

Hi everyone!! First of all, a big sorry for that huge lateness in producing the dedicated section work. OK so I came up with this today, an Aztec temple as background and as foreground,  an eagle warrior known as cuāuhocēlōtl.
It might look simple and undetailed but it took me approx 4hrs to do that. Oh and the warrior's head piece lacks feathers which I will soon update once completed. 
Hoping you like it.
Dedicated to my leading awesome viewers in Mauritius, United states, Switzerland, France, Serbia, India, Qatar and more.

A big hello to everyone!

Hey how are you all? Hope you're all fine! Yeah I'm missing you all because I'm not currently being able to post due to exams reasons...
Well well as I had said before, while reaching 600 views, you would have a sketch/portrait/composition dedicated to you!
I finally got my little idea about what I'm going to do and I'm starting over tomorrow and hoping to be able to post it this week itself since you were faster than me! 600+ views!
Hmm so smile, even though it's late, I won't let you down :)
#iloveyouguys
See you soon!! Till then Aloha!!

Grapefruit extension

Well, this illustration was supposed to go alongside the observation I did for the grapefruit but it was considered as being in design section and not as an observation due to the technique used which is pen shading/drafting. Hoping you find this interesting.

Sharing with you..something..
