Thoughts at Station

Hey guys, I’m back with a unique story this time with a sketchy art work, this story is delineating the scene of every person who can relate.

               It was frostiest month of the year, and the collage has been closed for the local festival holiday. The millennial were leaving the collage city for making presence at the festival at their home a day prior to the holiday during the nightfall time. In this scuttle, a student was travelling in the Rickshaw to the station for catching the train, sitting there feeling the frosty breeze of the distinctive weather, his hair were waving with cadence of the blustery weather, and the smirk on his face delineates the eagerness to reach home. In a bit of time passing through rushing traffic, reached the station. After buying ticket, he sits on the abandoned bench of the platform just in the neighborhood of the big clock and the boards showing the trains arrivals and departures. The platform was noticeably filled with lesser amount of crowd as he reached their early; sitting on that abandoned bench with his suitcase, he was drowned in the thoughts at station, wearing the warm jersey in this wintry season helps him to resist the puff of air.

                 The platform happens to get crowded as time approaches the arrival of the train, but he was still drowned his thoughts at station on that bench, for him the nearby was felt break in actions. With small interval of time his facial appearance amends like for a while cheerful & then gloomy & again then happy, the thoughts were of him thinking of doing stuffs at home during his time being there, but then apprehending that thing he thought of doing at there may not be able to enjoy which makes him heartbreaking, then again thinking of enjoying with their old friends and planning reunion but again thought if that might not be promising again due their busy schedules & again thinking of something happy about life. As the time passes by his thoughts came like a series of different episodes of happy and sad scenes, then suddenly he realized that the platform was crowded and the train is about to arrive. The other platform on the opposite side was also crammed full with peoples, the train boards were being updated, the people were ready to board on train, and the CCTV’s were continuously monitoring the crowd.

               The street lights were started glazing which reflects on the tall building around the station, different advertisement hoardings were also glazing with lights, the trains traffic lights were turned red which indicates that it’s time for the train to arrive. The people were buying snacks and drinks for their appetite during the journey in the train. This scene made a place in my mind and had to be drawn on the paper. So as usual I started sketching this picture in my mind on a paper, starting with rough sketch and then giving them dark and light contrast of shades with the graphite pencil and smudging the shades for making the smooth transition of the dark to light contrast. After all the details have been filled with the hand, it was the time for little bit of touch-ups in the sketch & then finally there the sketch of this sketch.

Hope you guys could have related this scene with your life. Please do share.

Night in the Dark Street

Hey Guys, Get ready for this new plot of mine, & is delineating a beautiful scene which is replicated on a paper.

So here is how plot starts with scene having the view of that time of the year when the nights are longer, and darker. It’s the mid-month of the frost when the cold breeze is giving the charisma of the cold ride out. The slender mist is giving further coldness and finicky looks to the nights in the presence of the boulevard lights. The lights are faultless facet for this night to give a beautiful gaze and with fog giving a perfect dancing similitude effect. The street are getting darker giving smudge effects to the farther objects, the street gets fades away in the clouds of mist. The only thing that keeps this street perceptible is the street lights of the lamp posts, and the most beautiful is the antique clock on the inimitable lamp post sandwiched between this lamp posts. The antique clock lamp post is the example of finest crafting work one can do, the way it is design gives this street the look of the vintage. The vintage vibes are there in every lamp post design which just gave the occurrence of 80s or 90s street in the night.

The street lamps are shinning due to the lights falling on them; the clock surface rings also shines. The light also falls on the footpath, and some on the other side of the street road where the wall is visible. The footpath is made up of square tiles creating a mosaic but a few fraction of the footpath is dark due to the shadow of the street lamp posts with the shades of the orange light near the shadows, in nearer side on this view little glimpse of the fountain is emerging with its outer part shines through the light rays of the lamp. The footpath is neighboring to the bicycle stands and some sitting wooden benches with adds the more to the vintage vibes in the scene. The fountain emerging in this scene is just a black stature coming out in this darkest night, which resemblance someone sitting on the bench. The footpath mosaics are so entrapped in the maze of the shadow and light seems that tiles are playing the game of the maze.

 The other side of the street was not that much visible, but the part that appears on the view camera is the wall having the column between a particular distance. The wall in the picture fades in from the nearer fog and fades away gradually in the farther fog. The fog increases darker & darker as the cloud of the rain in the sky as you go in the street. The lamp post has strong base to stand and hold the vintage lamps, the post bumps out in between creating designs. The upper part of lamp post is the perfect art and craft work, consisting of the advertising round boards connected with lamps with the curvy designs. The lamp post are placed in the line, the scene seems as the lamp height decreases unhurriedly. The lamp lights in this darker cold winter night are the color to the black and white photograph of 80s or 90s.

This scene is imposed on the paper by the mixture of pen and graphite pencil sketch. The lamp posts, clocks, fountain and lamp designs, the wall on farther side, cycle stands, and tiles mosaic are all drawn as rough sketch and then finally with black pen. Then this darkness in some areas and the lighter fogs and darker fogs and shaded with different grades of the graphite pencil. The lamp lights and their rays and sketch with orange highlighter. The whole scene was appearing as it is some magical picture coming into sight from the fog itself.

So here time has came to say goodbye to you guys, hope guys like this story. Keep sharing and commenting.

The Virtual Friends

Hey you, good-looking people there, same as always but with a special narrative of two people start here.

Please Read the blog to the end for understanding this tale.

                The countryside of this nice afternoon was just concluding with sun giving his slight impish puff of tenderness on the city. The sky has its own mood of colors with the shades of dark blues which slowly but surely cheers up and then orange color shades overlaps akin to the sky with angry smile. At this time of hour, people were ending their day of labor at their respective office. The city seems busy on the roads, but this busy roads and people rush and works doesn’t matters to the two millennial having their perfect chat on the social networks like the virtual friends. There gossips were going on about a month and had decided to meet up on this busy hours of the day. Both were so excited to know each other and made their minds on the subject of what to talk, & the thought of that kept them going all through the afternoon. The time had been stroked, both of them yanks to get ready and meet up at the park in neighborhood of their houses.

                The view was now at the park near an old timber bench, this was first time they are seeing each other in person. They both were standing and facing opposite to each other, deftly searching in this park and after a moment, he feels somewhat and that was a hand on his shoulder having gentle pressure with a voice calling his name. He turned around to see who is that calling his name, and she was her whom he was expecting to meet, both are now facing each other and are not sure where to start, it was a maddeningly state. He was wearing denim shirt with nice light colored jeans and had a men’s scarf around his neck draped in perfect approach and she was wearing white bright shirt having the perfect shine on her body & a black jeans. They were still standing and seeing each other having this predicament. And inscrutable for them to thaw, but one of them told to sit down on the wooden bench, and with small laugh on both faces they sat there.

               Finally they were sitting next to each other on the park bench. The park is a small one on a narrow lane in the middle of the city. It has a playground in one corner with swings, seesaws, and a water fountain. The trees have dropped a thick film of dead leaves that a hide much of the ground and crackle when stepped on. They started their talks with smile and trying to know each other with their questions and laughing intermittently on the things on which they were talking………….. But something is different on that park bench; they both are using their phones while talking, smiling and gazing on the phone screen, & to ensure this doubt we zoomed on the park bench to clear this doubt and found that both are not sitting there. In reality they both are at their own homes, and it was just their talks and chit-chat that made us visualizes the view of both on the park bench. This scene presage that they both are indisputably happy to take their virtual friendships to another level and make this relationship a reality.

               So, here I started to convert my view point picture into the sketch or portrait screening that park bench scene both sitting on it, having phone in their hand chatting to each other. Smiling and gazing at the cell phones like they are not at the bench but at their homes and were uninformed of my view point camera. Here, the sketch started with the usual work and will not repeat it. The main difficulty in this sketch was the detailing of the clothes they wore, the lining of the jeans and the denim shirt, the curves & the curls on the shirts of both, the undulating and straight hair, & the last was giving the proper shades to the characters and the wooden bench with perfect contrast of black shades and white highlights. At last erasing the unwanted smudges around the portrait and giving final touch-ups to the details of the sketch.

So, this was my unique story behind this sketch. Hope you guys reading this and please share and comment. Till then Goodbye.

The Night Lights

Hey people there, I’m back with this new story of night life…. And beautiful art work, So let’s start.

Midnight was approaching, the giant buildings fall silent, but the loudness of young people, college students spilling out of the bar, dark suited man racing across diagonal crossing for the last trains to the villages. Two of the policemen patrol the streets with tense expression. The city plays by its own rules at time like this. The date is about to change. Now at the restaurant, the people have occupied all the tables and are almost filled. A girl sitting by the front window on a four-person table, taking sips of the coffee from the cup of coffee. She has black-grey hair, long and straight, little make-up, no jewelry, and wearing blue with checks designed top and blue jeans with the black branded purse, the faded sneakers from repeated washing. Her phone was kept besides the cup tray on the window table.

She was sighting all the rush at this hour, thinking of something important. She reaches out at regular intervals brings up the coffee cup to her mouth, the music was playing at low volume. Many different kinds of people are taking meals and drinking coffee and enjoying their time at this late-night restaurant, and she raises her hand to glance at the watch to see the time. Not that she was waiting for anyone as she doesn’t look around the restaurant front door. She was just there for time to pass, from the window she can look outside the restaurant on the busy street. Even at this time, street is bright and filled with the people coming and going with a purpose and without a purpose, people trying to hold time back and people trying to urge it forward. She was intensely got jumbled in this thought of the people in the streets with taking nice measured timing for sip of the coffee.

This has been a perfect portrait for my sketch, so as usual I started gathering my sketch tools and sat on the table. I started with the frame of the scene that is the outer picture consisting of the giant building and the traffic, the bright lights, the people rushing in and out of the cafe, bars and restaurant. Then the part inside the window is sketched to get the picture of the sketch that it is perfect or not. After all the rough sketching is being done, it’s time giving the this rough work to give the life by using the graphite pencil of higher grades, blending stumps for smudging some parts of the sketch for smoothing it and the eraser for getting better contrast of the sketch. The building has windows which needs to be seen fading out and is done with lowering the pencil grades and smoothing them after that the peoples are drawn with lighter grades and then the details are added with the higher grades. And other things such as traffics and the sign boards etc are drawn with same manner.

The second part was the girl sitting inside the restaurant, the face should be aligned properly as it appears that she is watching outside the window while drinking coffee from the cup, and for that eyes should be drawn perfectly. The top she wore has too many details in it and was a challenge for me get as much as I can for a perfect picture to visualize. The hands, fingers, the rings in the fingers and the purse rest on her lap, all are drawn with details especially the hand sleeves took much of my time. At last the hair are sketched and some highlights are given to the face. After all the work, it’s time for final touch-ups in the sketch.

That’s it for this blog, hope uh guys going to like and please do share and comment, it’s totally free.

Street in Italy

Hey I’m back with a little different story this time with a sketchy art work, have uh visited Italy if not let’s go there through this story.

               The room is bright with the all messed up around, as the party was going on late hours of darkness. My friend woke up and started his necessary morning routine & he cleaned his room, after all this odd jobs of morning, finally his hand with a cup of coffee and sitting at porch, thinking of going out for roving the streets to travel around the sightings of the area. So, he started his breakthrough in the streets of the Italy, as he was leisurely passing around the streets wandering the views, with a tiny backpack containing gear he need for the day, in one hand he has his camera to capture the magnificence of the streets and peoples. 

                The day was lukewarm, he was sweating, he wore a cap from his bag, then admired up to see the sky. After seeing up in the sky he just smirk, this smirk was indicating something, he placed the lens of the camera pointing towards the sky, don’t know what he was trying to confine but after click of two-three, he watched the camera screen to see the captured view and this was the picture of the day that makes his day worth roaming. After the day ends, he came back home and uploaded it in social sites and by just one view at this picture I want to convert this view into my art work.

              So one day in the evening after coming to my place from work, I gathered everything a sketch needs for being completed. You people just need only 4 things for drawing to get completed that is pencil, paper, eraser and the most important is time and if uh don’t have time make sketch in sections each day and complete it. So after all this obsession I sat on the worktable and having a reference photograph with me to sketch the portrait, I started with outlines and irregular window shapes to get idea what it is going to appear like. 

           After that I started with left side of the portrait, starting the windows on the wall, then following this the broke part of the wall and then the whole wall. Giving the shades the window needs and the texture to the wall. This gives fine view to the sketch and then I made roof and little upper part of the wall with a perfect contrast, then the middle part by giving the shade fading from one side to other. The third section that is right side wall was made the next day following the same procedure as for the left side of the portrait, but starting with the roof the wall then sketching downwards the wall. All the sections get completed and at last giving better contrast to the sketch.

Tell me, how you people think about this new unique piece of art. And yeah please comment because it’s free..!!

Girl with a Tangled Hair

        People’s hasten was far-reaching with loud chitchat all around at the eatery, in this crowd one group where having a amusement in which me and my mates were just dubbing the conversation of extra people around and building a time astonishing. It was after mid-noon and eatery has been occupied with in & out groups for having a lavished lunch time......................!!

Hey everyone, welcome back I’m here with new interesting story behind a beautiful art work delineating perfect scene, hope you guys like it.

       As time goes by, still our chitchats continues, & the door bell of the eatery rings a bit in a different way & my eyes goes to the door for capturing the picture, suddenly everything just started moving slow and the girl with her charm enters the eatery with her group, she is cute adorable having stature more than a normal girl, light face, skinny figure and had put on a White Dress with a Red Chunni (Long Neck Scarf) the perfect dressing color blend in Indian dresses, up till now her charm was not the one my eyes got attracted to, it’s her cute, clumsy, messy way of folding up her hair, it is puffed on one-other resembling the layers of waves. Each hair lace was so messed up but it looks like she set each and every bit of her hair, with random hairs falling behind her ears and neck just like waterfall. The hair was little brownish with shades of black due sun rays falling on her, the manner in which her hairs are she was absolutely started her day in a hurry, but that portrait of clumsy, messy hair leaves an art work in my mind.

       So past coming to my room, I thought of starting this hard to please piece of art work, but to create this picture I want different shades of pencil, so I bought dark shades and new eraser for giving enhanced contrast and better highlights. Next day with the lot ready for sketching and a mug of coffee in addition, the pencil curves runs on white paper for bumpy sketch to actually get the a blurred picture of art which is going to get alive. So exterior lines are drawn, after that to go advance I pinched the section of the hair style with the way in which they are folded, the hair passageway are drawn approximately to see the line curves for better depiction. 

        Now, as the rough sketch got complete, it’s time for role of darker shades of graphite & eraser for highlights and inner hair laces. I started taking hair section from upward to downward direction so my hand doesn’t ruin the sketch, one by one taking each section giving perfect contrast via eraser for white color for bright hairs and again using a little darker shade for partial touch ups. After finishing all hair section, it’s time for random hair falling around the ears and neck, for that neckline and some random thick, thin and long hair laces are drawn with following the same course of action for interior lines. Here everything is accomplished but concluding touch is obligatory for every art. Then final dark and light lines are done with darker graphite and eraser and little random hair waving due to the air around and over the head.

So share your view in the comment section below, peace out.

Girl at the Cafeteria

Hey Friends, here is my first artwork from sketchbook and the story behind it.

The room was drudgery and time was strike 12 midday with a little sun-drenched rays falling in the room with a frosty puff of air running all the way through the windows, but nothing eye-catching was there in the room that makes your eye to go exactly to a meticulous spot. But suddenly the sight of my eyes got attracted to the table right in cross of the group of college students who are just making the noise and enjoying their time in the cafeteria and waiting for the watch to strike at 1 pm for getting back to their classes.

Silence of her gives a remarkable mark at the crowd

In the cross of this loud group a hushed adorable girl was sitting waiting for an important person or her friends or just sitting their for time to pass with her head resting on the table placed in front of her. She was wearing a fine-looking bulky jersey as it is the time of year of wintry weather, the way she was sitting there delineate somewhat of note, like having her hands with sweater all over her hand up till her palms covering the wrist with the clumsy stretched sweater. The pose in which she was sitting was remarkable, the hands were kept around her face like she was hiding from the crowd around her, and her hair where impending on one side of her face hiding the exquisite eyes giving a quiet & composed look with lips having a curve delineating that she is very blithe at that instance and her only eyes was normally giving a refined vibe to the ambiance.

Her eyes says it all

At that jiffy of vista was presently get fit in my mind and the heart kept influential to get this memory of mind to be unleashed on the paper of my sketchbook, so it is undeniably impending to the paper and it started with trouble from where to start, after meticulously bearing in mind the picture I started with hand at underneath the face, the palm was folded like she was holding something there in her hand. Then after making full jagged sketch of her expression and another hand at the above the face to comprehend the outline of the portrait, after getting this rightly. The time was consumed sketching out the upper portion darker and was left with face, hair, eyes and lips. This part of the sketch was delicate as I have to make the portrait to speaking out the emotions of her heart on the paper. The finishing point of remaining part was almost completed but I am not pleased until I make my own touch-ups to the sketches for making it more than just right. At last it was picture of her in my sketchbook saying that here I am.

Please comment below about this drawing and tell me your version story from this portrait.
