Jiya...

Finally got time to make something...This one's about a girl (again :P)
--
The girl has dreams...some are clear some are not...she wants to reach great heights...and is determined to do so...(signified by the buildings in the bkgrnd)...She goes on a journey...spreads her wings to fulfill those dreams but something is holding her back...her wings are tied in chains...she has all these thoughts of failure...of defeat that she isn't ready to face it...not now...but in the fear she fails to realize that the chains are her own fears...her own apprehensions...which are stopping her from moving on the path...from flying...
--
But she has the world of her dreams lying ahead of her...so much to get...so much to see...she has to shed her fears to make her wings...to make herself...FREE...fly high and fulfill her dreams...
--
The painting is again first a sketch and then colored in photoshop...
--
Hope you like it :)

All about my mother...

First time it has happened that a movie moved me n motivated me to paint...saw this wonderful movie a couple of days back...the movie was called 'All about my mother'...won't disclose the story here wud leave the suspense for u to watch...wud just say that its about a mother who faces similar situations over and over again but even then she doesn't give up...
--
She is caught up in these chains...she tries to find hope in each and everything that fate does with her...tries to cope up with it...but they cease to exist...she is injured...deeply wounded...but even then she wants to move on...even then she goes towards the light...to get away from this darkness...but wud her efforts help...she doesn't know...she just knows that she has to move on...if not for her then for those she cares for...and she does...
--
this time i tried for a different medium...did the base sketch on my table with a marker :D (scribbling is fun :P...plus u can erase it all with ur deodorant ;)...n obvsly photoshop had to creep in for the final touch :P...
--
hope u like it :)

Ram...

Another boring lecture and another deity avatar :)...
--
This time its none other than Suryavanshi Shri Ram...(man i need to study!!!)
--
I guess no explanation is required for this...simple sketch n then photoshop...Seeta and Laxman are surely round the corner :)

Hanuman

Well...when u have no interest in what the prof is saying...m nothing better to do...u infact want to kill urself 'coz u can't stand the prof ne more...such things come out :P ;)....
--
This is another avatar of Hanuman ji...so 2nd one in the line (man...m obsessed with Gods :P)..
--
No explanation...just a pen sketch n coloured in photoshop...

Dvibahu...

I've always talked about a character called "Dvibahu"...infact I even sign my artwork by the same name...Dvibahu is me...and this is what it looks like...

--

The first time I made it was when I was in 10th standard...after that it had undergone a number of changes...will have to dig in my stuffs for the 1st version...

--

No paint...only photoshop this time...

--

So here's Dvibahu for u...

Dahleez...

U can call this the second part of Chakshu...'coz the topic and the feeling with which i made this is the same...this one's again a painting with minimum photoshopgiri...got the idea of it while was teaching in my LA class :P...
--
Here's something bout it...
--
She's a girl...peeking through her window...but isn't able to cross the doorstep or "dahleez"...she thinks she's locked inside...she thinks the door is latched...so makes little effort to break free...she thinks she's content with what she has...and leaves everything to destiny...she doesn't even speak for she fears being noticed...she has formed a shield of all her memories around herself...sweet memories like her first bike...her barbie doll...her teddy bear soft toy...her family...her first crush...her love...and she's too afraid to loose all these...so she fears to explore the world outside her door...
--
but in this...she isn't able to see that the latch isn't hinged...the door just needs a little push and it'll break open...the world is out their waiting for her...she just needs to be brave enough...leave her past behind and not worry too much about the future...spontaneity is the best thing about life...u can't always worry about everything and forgo what you could have had...what could have been the best moments of your life...
--
so give the door a push...just a little one will do...cross the "dahleez"and see what this world has there for you...

Chakshu...

This painting is about a girl who sees this world from a different viewpoint...who has just a small opening to reality and doesn't want anymore of it...She likes to live in her own world...think about her own dreams...she is hiding herself...but keeping an eye on the part of the world that matters to her...or does it...she doesn't know...but likes to think that it does...She doesn't want to show herself to this world because she is too scared...scared of what people will think...scared of what they'll do to her...will she be able to handle this world all by herself...she doesn't know...she has faced a lot and doesn't want to face more of it...she wants peace...for this world to leave her alone...not talk about her...she wants to be invisible...but she can't...the world won't let her be...

---

'Chakshu' is just an appeal to all the people who just gossip about anyone and everyone without thinking what effect that'll have on the ones who already have a lot to face and cannot take it anymore...So please...try to understand and help rather than enjoying their case at supper...

---

And for all those who have to face this world...you have to come out...this world talks only as long as you let them...and even if they do...it doesn't matters...the only thing that matters is you...
