Brangelina...
Have been drawing with my left hand as well(havent posted any drawings with left hand as yet)...Per week I draw 5 days with my right hand and the other 2 days are for the left hand...Its fun drawing with left hand...When I draw with my left hand I tend to see the picture more clearly with all the lines and shapes in focus...But the problem is to draw them right...the left hand is very new to holding a pencil it falters,makes wavy lines instead of straight...but with practise it should all go away...

Color.
I called up 2 art schools yesterday one of them doesn't want to take me as I am already a graduate...The other school welcomed me.So I will have to collect the application form around May 2008, there will be an entrance test.
Here's what I did yesterday and today....Trying colors....trying to express myself in lines shapes and color.Coloring without judgement....
The first painting was from imagination...I had this in my mind today as I woke up...I titled it 'DEATH'...There is one moving in anti-clockwise direction suddenly that stops and the next thing we know is its moving clockwise...Death meaning change in existence of a being...that's what I wanted to express and portray.It's me... I was moving in one direction before and very soon everything is going to change...I am going to make it move my way...I am going to choose the way I move...I bring the changes I want to see....
The secong painting is just a portrait i saw on a local newspaper and painted it my way...It does not resemble the original in any way.
Pencil drawing is my favourite as I am very commfortable with pencils and other drawing media.
http://www.wonderingmind.net/e-books/ec-wm_intro2.htm I found this e-book on creativity and art...I am reading it.

Drawing everyday is fun....
Johnny Depp and the other one was supposed to be Beckham lady it turned out to be someone else...But she looks good :-))))
I try not to use an eraser and learn from my mistakes...It gets easier everytime...Use a pen thats the best option,one can never erase at all.
Drawing feels like meditation,it calms me down and seems to transport me somewhere else ! Totally unaware of the passage of time...Beautiful state of mind...I call this active meditation where I get completely involved and lost at the same time...Just beautiful !!! I sent an E-mail to Dr.Betty Edwards conveying my gratitude to her for her book which opened me up completely...
I was good at contours right from my childhood...but which helped me the most is negative spaces and light and shadow chapters.I pushed myself ahead,I stopped drawing for a while...got lazy and then totally forgot about drawing for some months...Then I see people drawing everyday,painting everyday...That inspired me...I thought if these people can do it then why not me ? If an artist has drawn something extraordinarily beautiful it makes me think how did that person get to that level...How much of effort was put into it ? For how many hours did the person get lost ? I have read in forums where some artists draw all day(one piece).That makes me think a lot about drawing.
I wanna get into an art school...I wanna be able to paint beautiful pictures...inspirational pictures,imaginative pictures...fantasy...people,animals,trees,birds...I want to be an ARTIST.

Art on flickr...
There are some really good tutorials on this website for artists of all levels, I found it helpful...
Art school...
It is art that gives the greatest pleasure to a human being...Art of any kind,be it music,dance,drama,or anything visual...It's in the process of creation one finds beauty and love and that is what we are born here for, to express ourselves in the form of art...to express Love ! Anyone who has danced,sang,drawn will know what I'm trying to say...
