A Lot to Digest

It's been a really tough & hectic week...
I almost feel like I'm writing my final exams.... Ah, the good ol' college days...

But, daily sketching is really helping to alleviate my frustration... 

I realize I've been sketching a lot digitally, lately..
But, I've also been slogging to finish off the comic abt the puppy...

I've completed around 65%,so far... 
As usual, I hope to finish by "next" week xD

Anyways, here's a page from the comic:

I need to think of a Title, too...

Also, here's one of my attempts at an Illustrator design...

I almost forgot to share a few sketches that I did, at work:

 

Until, Next week xD

On Schedule?

Pretty satisfied, this week... Coz I did do 6 sketches... 

Though I'm lagging on my short Graphic-Novel..

 I'm feeling OK as I'm working on it, pretty much, everyday....

The snake and the guy sketch is based on an idea which actually did happen..

I mean, as I was driving, I saw a snake crossing the street towards a guy who was so busy using his cell, that he did not listen to my loud honks warning him of the snake..

Neither did he realize that he was walking right next to a giant snake...

Well, the snake just disappeared... 

& the guy will never know that he was in trouble, forever....

There was News that a leopard had entered a school..
What would be going thro' the kids minds... 
Would they really want a leopard to hurt their teacher to get a holiday ? 



The Pencil and Paper app by 53 are simply fantastic... 
I heavily underestimated it's beauty..

I came across a lot of awesome-tutorials on using Paper by 53....
This really is pretty detailed and helpful..

Anyways, the above sketch is abt a guy who's space-diving [?]
Just wanted to try a few techniques... 

Watched Deadpool, this weekend.. 

Noted: if your mates do not know a thing abt Deadpool or anything abt comics or any of the smirk references that Deadpool makes at other movies... (like Agent Smith)

Basically, if you watch this movie with people who aren't movie buffs, well then, the movie's gonna be bad for you too .. ;D

A Valentine's day tribute, Mangaloreans will understand the second panel ;D

Anyways, I'm off to watch some tutorials on Material-Design and maybe, work on the Dog's Story.... P.S: I'm on Page 10 now, out of an estimated 20.. so yeah, Milestone... 50%.. :D

The iPad era

As I'm posting this, I'm also frantically searching for the stuff that I've been working on, lately.. I officially wrote my previous post, during the last year.. ;)

I got an iPad, a month ago... Mainly to read comics and to do a bit of sketching...
I almost grew pretty weary of it, quite quickly...

However, not all hope is lost.. :D  
I've been sketching quite more than what I'd actually expected on the iPad and it's awesome !! (though, none of them are worthy of being shared)

Excited, I'd ordered Pencil by 53, a few weeks back and it should be delivered to me, tomorrow...  Anyways, recollecting what I've sketched the last month... 








3 sketches, worthy of sharing (LOL).. 

I wanna hit myself.. Many ideas have slipped my mind and I'm to blame..
 

But, quite honestly, the only thing that's not making me insecure and assuring me that I'm being quite creative is that I'm working on this comic/ graphic-novel, based on the life of a dog.. 


I've not worked on it the last 2 days, due to some genuine reasons.. ;)  (a sort of a game changing week, if you will) But I have finished around 30% of it... 

I had originally intended to finish it Today, so that I'd post it and feel pretty satisfied and mitigate the effects of not posting aka not being creative, for a while.. 




You see, I now perceive blog-posts here as a measure of how productive I've been in a week ;).. So, if I do not post for a long time, it means that I've been a lazy arse and that scares me... Given that it's a whole new year...


As penance, I'm gonna try posting a sketch every day starting tomorrow... No matter how busy I'm gonna be, in addition to posting the Dog's tale, both, by next weekend... 

If I do not do this, I will kick myself... I will literally kick my ass, if I fail to do this... :D
