Pencil Art

My first art work dates back to my school days. I had a sketch pad where I used to draw cartoon characters and color them with my water colours. I had 2 such books if I remember correctly. But once I moved into college this talent was forgotten. I've never attempted to sketch for reasons I don't know. It just didn't happen.

It took nearly 19 years for me to realize that I've been doing injustice to myself by not exhibiting my hidden talent. If it hadn't been for my sister, I do not think I would have repossessed my long lost ability to make pencil art all over again. I personally believe that for all things there is a time. The time is now.

Here are few of my sketches. I will keep adding them as and when I make new ones.

great stuff Biju..u r really good - we grew up nearby and I never knew you had this hidden talent. If it wasn't for our society that de-values such talent - you'd be doing something you love for a living.
