How It All Started! ( My Love For Art Diaries )
Today's post is somewhat related to yesterday's one where I talked about the sketches from "Rough Edges." The following diary was the proper first sketchbook that I got myself after joining college.
I had never made a diary as such for things like these but as I got myself more absorbed in the world of art, I stumbled across this really cool store named as Chumbak which when translated, means magnet. It always has some really funky stuff and what first caught my eye when I visited there, were the diaries.
I immediately bought it and it soon became my travel partner. I took this diary everywhere I went and gathered as many illustrations as I could, maximum of them being live sketches. Let's have a look and then I will talk about how it all actually started.
When, Why & How?
I met somebody a few years back who gave me a peek into his collection of art diaries. My mind was instantly blown away just by trying to comprehend the possibilities with them. That was the day and I have never stopped creating illustrations!
The sketchbook which I have shown above is the reason alone why I continued creating art journals and sketchbooks as I rejoice every page of this.
How I do it is very simple. I keep different books for different mediums because, obviously each one has it's own capacity for handling art mediums. For example: I use a sketchbook by Brustro just for ball pen sketches, another diary with higher gsm for mixed media art (watercolor, ink, charcoal, dry pastels) and few others.
I think it's a great way of expression and you don't need to be a professional at it! It's all about experimenting, you know.. Sometimes you make good ones sometimes they turn out to be so bad that you can't help but laugh at them :) But in the end they are yours for you to cherish forever and to be honest, I see it as a collection of memories and imagination.
Keep Creating
Lots of Love <3
This is the must accessory of a artist's bag.
Hahah I assume you have one?
Woah ! That was an awesome blog with amazing sketches ! Even I used to Sketch till my college times and then I got busy with my daily life routines, but recently one of my friend gifted me a travel dairy and I'm just thinking how would I utilise it, maybe I'll start sketching again or maybe I'll just write down blogs. 😅
Yep. Since you are into travelling, you can put it to best of uses and get really creative with it :) Would be awesome to see some.
Thanks a lot!
I have plans of travelling to Nepal in near future. maybe i'll have sometime and sketch some landscapes :)
That’s awesome..!
I am in awe of what you can do! These are really amazing work @aishwarya. Have you tried sketching anything that's really dark and twisted? I have a feeling you will do great at it.
aye, thanks a lot :)
I think I might have. I tend to misplace loose sheets 😅😅 I might try more of them in the future <3
I don't have the brain power to comment on your artistic genre intelligently.
But I can tell you what you are a WANDERER in true sense not like the ones who just type #wanderer.
I love the way you bring out your heart content over here , I can feel a difference in me instantly.
Thank you for being such a sport.
Thanks a lot. I am glad you are able to take away something from this. Appreciate it!
All about creativity and hardwork.
ThaNks for sharing aishwarya.
Keep it up.
True!
You're welcome :)
I´m impressed for your drawings showed from your sketchbook, they´re full of imagination and art @aishwarya. You have a lot of talent to do that. What drawing technique do you consider special and which do yo use often? Best regards from @presentnworldsc
I don't consider a particular one to be special actually. I am still discovering as I am going ahead. What about you?
Thank you so much :)
I wish you the best with your effort to keep on discovering as you´re going ahead. I don´t consider myself good in drawing, but in spite of that I always try to do my best, that´s why I give so much value to your talent.
I will check it soon!
Never knew you were this great with art. Wah, Taj.
Thanks a lot @shenoy :)

Haha no not at all.
