Random Thoughts

It has become a routine for me to think of some ideas so that I could kill some time. (Actually, though I don't want to admit it, this thinking about killing time itself has become my favourite time-killing activity)....:)....So anyway, today I have decided to learn face sketching. Actually I had thought of it months ago when one friend of mine showed me the sketch of Aish that he had drawn. But today I have actually decided to start learning it.

But the problem is, I am no natural painter. Well, most of us aren't anyway, but my problem is somewhat more seriuos. I got the first hint of my drawing skills in the third grade. Our drawing ma'am had given us an assignment to draw a tiger. I gave my best try, spent several hours in the home, and went to the school the next day with a broad chest and a proud smile on my face. The ma'am took a look at the picture, and raised my notebook in her hands so that the whole class could see it. And then she said, "Class, this is the perfect example of indiscipline!! You children are always talking in the class and don't even pay a little attention to what the teacher is saying. Just how many times had I told you yesterday that you are supposed to draw a tiger, not a goat !!!!"

From that day, I knew painting wasn't going to be my cup of tea. But well, the whole world lives to dream, isn't it? I have decided to give it one more try. The next question that one will ask is - why face sketching? One thing that is sure is that sketching face is more romantic than sketching houses or mangoes. (I can't do either of them, but that is a different matter). I mean, you sketch the face of a beautiful girl correctly and you are bound to get showered with some words of praise and adulation ....:).....(believe me, I have had the first hand experience with a German girl). And that will be the biggest recognition of talent for a bachelor like me. but that is not the only reason. the main point is that you can draw a face without using any color. for any other type of object you will have to use color, and I am very very bad at applying color.

Enough about this sketching thing. Now it is high time I stop writing about it and start searching for some website tutorials.
