…I should take what comes I guess.
My sister & me
My sister & I are really quite similar…
…we both post photos of liquid beverages on social media!
Terrible I know…but one must never lose a chance to make fun of one’s sibling!
Comics workshop
I’ve been slowly working on my graphic novel story and comic strips over this year. My goal is to publish in 10 years – hopefully before my fingers lose their agility and my sight deteriorates.
As I went through the various phases of design, I got stuck in the craft so often that I realised I needed to invest some dedicated time to learn the skills.
So a few days ago I designed a Comics workshop for myself, and it was a blast! Learned a lot in the process too. My goal was to complete 5 strips of varied lengths, but I only reached 2. Still I have a list of ideas to work on further.
Meanwhile here’s what the workshop was like.
Friday @ Araku Coffee
Suddenly it’s December and I’m starting to get around the city a bit. Feels good to engage with the third place again.
If only more people spent time drawing. The world would be calmer.
Letting go
The best artists keep evolving, letting go of their past work.
Have you ever felt this way?
The poor anteater suffers from my trials.

The anteater reminds:
“It’s about being true, not correct”

#StepUpTo24 Sketchnotes from DesignUp Conference
This year’s DesignUp was game changing! Literally as well as metaphorically! Six short panels of 4 speakers each expounding crisply on different themes about the past and the future. Here are my sketch notes –
Weekend shenanigans
Like I said the other day, I just have to keep up with the scenius. Keep drawing daily, find opportunities to study the form, and keep trying, good or not, as Lynda Barry has said.
One thing we forget with digital media is the material properties of the materials…the organic flow or the way the materials shape the outcomes.
I haven’t any experience with watercolours and so pushing myself out of the comfort zone of flat colors which is what you need in comics but – my friend Raj always complains my drawings look a bit flat.
So tried a bit of depth in last night’s sketch – coloured this on Procreate where inks don’t bleed haha.
