This is an artwork that i did for my school project. I chose to do this work in colour pencils. Through this artwork, I wished to raise awareness on the deadly impact caused by plastic pollution on marine animals, specifically on sea turtles as they are the most endangered species in the world.
This is an artwork that I did as part of my school assignment. I chose celebrated artist Pablo Picasso's masterpieces 'Studio with Plaster Head', 'Paul as Harlequin', and 'Grande Nature Morte au Gueridon', and recreated all onto the base of the famous 'Mona Lisa' by Leonardo da Vinci. The principal medium I used is colour pencils. However, I have used white paint to highlight certain areas, specifically the frills of Paul's attire in the masterpiece 'Paul as Harlequin'.
This colour pencil drawing shows wooden figures from different perspectives in different postures.
My personal take-ons:
Paul Van Haver, better known by his stage name Stromae, is a Belgian musician, rapper, singer, and songwriter. Stromae has written and produced several french songs that have become a big hit and his albums have been sold in million copies all around France. His songs are very popular and are enjoyed by many all over the world, including me. This is a digital fan art portrait I did of Stromae. J'adore tout les chansons de Stromae et j'écoute les toujours!!! <3
This is a manual illustration of actress Shraddha Kapoor from the Dabboo Ratnani 2019 calendar. The drawing was taken with reference to the photograph used for the calendar. This drawing was manually done in colour pencils and marker.
This manual drawing is of Heath Ledger as 'the Joker' in 'Batman' the movie. The drawing was done manually in colour pencils and marker. The face is done using the contour line drawing method.
This is a manual artwork of the very famous television icon Mr.Bean portrayed by the very famous Rowan Atkinson. From a very young age, I have always been very fascinated by his acting and even thought of him as a role model. Hence, I decided to create this portrait of him inspired by the live action series as well as the animated series.
This digital art piece is of Dussasana as shown in Kathakali. In Kathakali the most ferocious and cruel characters appear in Chuvanna thadi vesham (Red beard character). Chuvanna thadi is the most spine-chilling vesham in Kathakali. A shouting Chuvanna thadi is the most fearsome of the Kathakali characters.
This is a scratch art that I did of Radha and Krishna, the symbol of divine love. Radha and Krishna represents the unique union of the Goddess-gopi Radha and her beloved Krishna.
This is a scratch art that I did of well - known film and fashion icon Audrey Hepburn. She is a role model to all due to her selfless nature. Inspite of having a tough childhood, she worked towards building a good future for her own, where she could pursue her passion and interest.
Sea turtles are world's ancient mariners, having evolved millions of years ago. They are one of the most peaceful, beautiful as well as humble creatures. This is an illustration of a sea turtle that I drew and, painted using acrylic paint.
A trip to the zoo got me to observe the pandas in its natural habitat. This got me interested into creating this acrylic painting. The painting shows a hungry giant panda chewing on the stem of the bamboo, it's staple food.
