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.
