The present day portraits

The present day portraits are not a journey from 0 to 100. But 90 to 100. Because already technology exists for going from 0 to 90 in the form of things like Brolaviya mobile stand, DaVinci eye app and all.

The journey from 90 to 100 is very exciting.  There are guys from all over the world who are at 99 level. Both in color and monochrome.  I am at 92 in color and 95 in  monochrome.

Here is a sample portrait of Prakash Raj. The stages it went through. 

At 0.

At 90.








At 92.


So this what it is.

If you want to ask me about anything please do. Whether morality? Why draw portraits? Just anything.  . .

Have a nice day.

My drawings are filed

I file my drawings. I punch holes using punching machine and file them. This is for A4 size art.  Apart from that I have drawing notebooks too. Then I have printouts of Lou Darvas cartooning course.

Today's sher

Kyon aalsi hai har insaan yahaan, baat yeh samajh na sakaa

Quality ek gehrayee hai, insaan kewal dikhawaa kar sakaa


Tum har pal saath dena mera, har pal yaad rakhna

Mard hoon aakhir is jungle mein yeh yaad rakhna

Bollywood. . . an imagination

 


I recently saw "No time to die"; and I thought Indian movies are way behind in quality.  Be it camera, Action, editing, art direction, post production,  usage of computers.  Even "Bahubali" is only 66% of the quality of "No time to die". 

Buck up boys.

I can in imagination play a role in music. Songs. But I don't know to play instruments.  I don't have a troupe.  I am not backed by big banners.

I can contribute possibly in screenplay too. I have a good sense of logic for writing screenplay. If suppose someone asks me to write a screenplay for "God of small things ", I feel I can do a decent job. But my pace and style is likely to be of Adoor Gopalakrishnan. 

I want bollywood to concentrate on art direction first. It is likely to be costly.  But Reliance and big companies should help bollywood in art direction and sets. 

Let's improve.  And make great movies. 

Lights, camera, Action.  . .

🤣🤣🤣

Today's sher

Kya maqsad ho saktha hai ek bharatiya insaan ka

Har koi apna kar raha hai, tumhe bhi apna karne ka


Udhaar ke paise kaise loutayaa jaye, ek sawaal hai mera

Mehnat nahin, balki luck ya hunar se, yeh jawaab hai mera

Today's sher

 Gaur se apni zindagi ko dekh, aur bata tune kya jaana hai

Rajneeti to hai par aalsi insaan hai dushman yeh maana hai 


Kuch kar dikhaane ke liye  kaise sochaa jaaye batao

Haasil karni hoti hai maalik karna dimaag se hatao
