Strangers on Internet

I am trying to do a brush pen sketch of the first two persons I see on internet in the morning. This will serve as a caffeine to kick-start my daily painting work. I intend to follow this routine and share the sketches here. The sketches won’t be very detailed. I have set a time limit of 10-20 minutes for this exercise and the scans will be as is no corrections nothing. Hopefully this will be like a digital sketchbook for me to refer and analyze in future.

A trek to Kondana caves

Wed, 24 Nov 2021 17:55:17 +0000

After postponing it for 2-3 weeks due to work load, this Sunday me and my friend Sameer, finally managed to take some time out in our schedule and go on a trek to Kondana Caves. I have decided to do such type of treks at least once a month to refresh my mind. The visual library in the mind gets updated and it becomes really a good educational exercise too. I get to absorb new things, texture, colours and concepts. This helps me to keep my style fresh and also helps me break out of monotonous work environment where I stare at computer screen most of the time during work. I also get to collect rich reference photos and ideas for later use. It is really like recharging your battery.

The Trip

We started at 8.30 A.M in the morning and after riding for about 54 Km we reached there at 11.00 A.M. Since this is not monsoon season, there were not many tourists. We parked our scooter at the base in an open area and started to climb up. Since I am now not used to walking large distance or climbing hills, this trek exhausted me in the beginning. It was not that hard but I noticed my stamina has decreased too much. I need more treks like this to get accustomed to this type of excursion.
