Made a new artwork to go with today's #FridayFlashFiction - It's an attempt at hilarious horror story. You can read it here: www.patreon.com/posts/141425059 #ArtistOnMastodon #MastoArt #DigitalArt #LineArt #humour

a small ghost, screaming at a roomba, and the sound coming out is BEEP! BEEP! you can see the walls and floor. on one of the wall the name of the story is written.

The Phantom Ankle-Biter's Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Haunting.

Have been spending some time on tutorials that talk about how to use colour pencil to draw fur. I think the first attemps weren't too bad, but definitely need to re-watch and practice more! very excited to learn. #TradArt #TraditionalArt #SketchBook

page from my sketchbook working on small pieces to make them feel like fluffy fur texture -- and the one on right is more to get feather like feeling.

drawn with multiple colours and built over layers and layers.

So I have been looking at vintage art to use as reference, and to help me try something new (in terms of the final result, media) Here's an Indian Golden Oriole that I sketched with colour pencil, and then used black ink. #Birds #SciArt #IndianBirds #SketchBook #Sketch

White Throated Sparrow. 🪶🎨 While watching John Muir Law's video where he uses watercolor, I made this on a 100gsm paper and tried using color pencil. Plan is to make another one on coldpress paper and water color :D #SciArt #TraditionalArt #Birds #Nature #SketchBook

a small bird perched on a y shaped stick.

it has brown back and feather - black cap and cheeks, a yellow lore. gray beaks. the chest feather is white (but using grey for showcasing shadow)

practicing sketching and doodling on rough paper really reduces the anxiety of putting pen to paper cause it doesn't feel like using a page of a good sksetchbook... #TraditionalArt #DoodlePractice #SketchingPractice #SilentSunday

a page with line drawing and cross hatching practice. the lower half has an attempt at drawing a face and a funny mug

Hello hello #PortfolioDay, while I used to do a lot of art a decade~ish back, 2025 is where I'm trying to be more regular. So a mix of old work and new. #DigitalArt #TraditionalArt #birds #Products #Posters #BirdArt

A tetra pack with Maa ka doodh (Mother's milk) text above the picture of Nirupa Roy (an actor who played part of many many bollywood mother's back in the day) - and text under her face reads Bollywood's Favourite.

Reference: In old movies the hero/villain would challenge each other to fight and use the phrase which just meant if they've drank their mother's milk then they are brave enough to fight (and they are cowards otherwise)

There are rays of orange spreading out from behind the finger.

Update on the recent art work, made while juggling a 1000 other things last few weeks! Drawing and colouring flowers definitely help me feel grounded (and calm) -- Does this count as Art Therapy? #BotanicalArt #TraditionalArt #Sketch #ColourPencil 🌿 🖌️
