Though I have been drawing and painting with the usual zeal, I have not had the urge or patience to post them here. Since I particularly liked my effort with this one, I worked up the necessary patience.
This is a part of the Toragal Fort about which you can get a good idea here. I am thankful to Siddeswar who kindly allowed me to use his pictures as reference.
This is A4 in size and drawn with an "ordinary" Reynolds ballpoint pen. This medium is excellent for these types of sketches, the dark parts are really dark and are achieved with cross hatching - vertical and horiszontal and two 45 deg hatches. I ended up worsening my RSI caused by drawing!

I had the urge to do the first one again with colour and here it is - in a post that is mainly about pen drawings!
I know a few artists who are superb with this medium. Ranganath Krishnamani is one of them. (More here)
Beautiful drawing! Bidar Fort would be an interesting subject too.
ReplyDeleteThanks Siddeshwar, I am adding a few more to this!
