my latest bird potraits in pencil

hi  every one its been very long since i did some detailed blogging  , honestly  pencil shading was not a piece of cake to me ,though i loved to admire other artists work done in pencil ,i could not imagine doing a realistic work in this medium , i recently had the opportunity to learn the basics of pencil shading from Mr.Muthuswamy a proffessor in Govt fine arts college in Chennai .yeah im learning pencil shading from  Malar Institute of Fine arts ,Perungudi Chennai If any one Staying in or around the locality are interested in it could def'ly go for it.

now let me come to the art work 

This is sulphur crested cockatoo done with the 6b, 8b n hb pencils

The most intersting part was the fan shaped crest and the beak.

This is  the tailor bird done with 6b,8b 4b  and hb pencils ,this drawing has lot of scope to learn the texture of the leaf,cotton the stitch ,the background twigs ,the birds position ,its feathers gives lot of room for learning new techniques.the correct differenciation of dark n light tones gives depth to the art.

 This is great pied hornbill,this was done with 6b,8b n hb

my latest pencil works

Curious eyes

This  subject  has refined  my  shading techniques .There are lot of scope for learning here.I tried the blonde hair for the first time though Im not fully convinced with the result.These are few amature ventures in pencil portraits I m trying to learn and do my best in each work. 

morning glory

I named this painting morning glory

The subjects to be painted  in order are the greenery in the back ground, long grass, the wrecked wooden bark,the wired fence, the wrens and the morning sun's rays.I feel I could  have been little more patient while working on the sun's rays ,it has become obviously aweful .Next time I would surely try to be more careful in capturing the rays in the right manner .

Iam working on some traditional art works right now will keep you updated soon  till then enjoy painting

my new ganesha mural

This is sri mushika vahana acrylic on 16 x20 canvas,this unique posture is what prompted me to do this painting . This is a free hand drawing  and did not use any ready made sketch to trace.The background was painted first and then the tree in the backdrop .When all the background work was completed  i began working on deity lord Ganesha.
