Life on paper - Black & White
Hello Everyone
I am sharing today some of my sketches... for almost 5 months I haven't made a single sketch but recently I missed doing it...And I have started again
LIFE ON PAPER
What I've learned from sketch is you can get it as perfect as you want, and it's never going to be perfect. Horatio Sanz
I draw when I feel happy, or sad, every sketch I have done has a story behind it!!
As far as I remember I have been drawing, first just some random scenery, then doodles. But I was never good at it. Somewhere along the way, maybe after my fashion degree, I became interested in the idea of sitting on the streets and sketching whatever I saw. Then I got more interested when I started going to the mountains, it just felt like I need to paint. (will share my travel journal next time)
Instead of taking pictures, I liked painting it.. It felt more close. I enjoy the process of drawing, looking at the details, like –the small tree standing at the corner in a beautiful landscape which your camera might have captured but your mind hasnt, But when you draw you see it, you know the colors, you know the birds sitting on that tree, you know how it completes your landscape! You start appreciating things!
It’s liberating.
Sometimes you can feel trapped and have no way, and at times like that sketching has made me feel powerful. It takes my mind off, I could share with the world and still do not have to talk about it, I feel I can deal with things my own. For a person like me who is not very expressive, cant talk about me even with my close friends, it works as a therapy.
My office space looks much better now :)

ooooh how i love this one:
"You can get is as perfect as you can, but it will never be perfect"
Haven't heard this one before, yet it is so true.
I really love the play with contrast in these
Thank you @edgarsart I am so glad to know you.. I loved this quote, I earlier used to do sketch and throw it out, always found some of the other fault, now I just leave it.. For an artist it's never good enough I guess
