I am BACK! :D
Sorry for the long hiatus.
My mom had a cerebral stroke and things were tough
Things were going well before that as I was working on my observation but I felt so horrible about my personal state of affairs that I stopped drawing for sometime.
But when I slowly healed I picked up my pencil and started sketching again. I'm still healing emotionally. I just need to BELIEVE. When I believed, good things happened, observation started improving and I slowly started getting out of a rut.
Asked people to sit and I drew em'.
So here you go.
Couple of my sketches.
All real life.
Focus on observation.
My skills are a bit rusty but I will work on those and polish em' like a dual headed katana.

Recent Sketches, slowly gaining back artistic confidence. Working on my observation still. I realized the importance of observation in everyday life and not just in drawing. I zone out and I am trying to override that into a zone in. Drew these on a moving bus. It increases my confidence somehow. :)
