I suggest everyone go to dA and search for Dave’s Brushes; [http://daveart.tumblr.com/], he’s got a lot of cool brushes for sketching and stuff. This is a test of the graphite brush; i swear i can’t put my finger on it, but there’s a (real) artist on tumblr who has this drawing style O-o i can’t remember, can you?

another brush test. This is some sort of owl thingy :P

downloaded a bunch of brushes from dA. I was looking for realistic brushes to do sketches with

since i’m never going to be able to draw again, i tried doing something i’ve wanting to do for a while now; draw masks on my face using photoshop. Just like all of my work, this sucks, but maybe it’ll get better…. or not

So heres the sketch, (which was further improved) and the finished, coloured product; a toucan that looks like it’s been stuffed and surgically reconstructed :P

So my exams are over, and i spent the whole day yesterday downloading cs6, and hacking it. Today i decide to draw, and this is what i got.

I got a long way to go :s I just can’t figure out what to draw :S

These are the 3 posters i made for my teacher for a course he does every month (if you’re an O level student in Karachi, please take it! It will do wonders i’m proof of that!). I made them for free (hence the watermark), and the 3rd ones been photocopied to be distributed! :D

My first shot at typography

Draft for a new totoro background. This draft is going to sit like this probably until AFTER my exams.

I’M SO FREAKIN’ SCARED!! I DON’T WANT ANOTHER B!!! :’( I WANT MY PARENTS TO BE PROUD OF ME

You flooded me with your love and i happily drowned in it; a part of me wanting to go up and breathe realising this was not ‘love’, and another part enjoying this suffocating sensation of lust and love and desperate confusion.

Like our relationship, this drawing didn’t really work out the way i wanted. Today marks your 30 years of life, and for me marks the day you began to talk to me… the day when i started to drown in your love, and till this day heart throb, i drown in it; not a day, and seldom a minute passes by that i don’t recall you with great disdain, as i try to hold onto memories that i’m attempting to erase… thankfully they’re fading away, and some day they’ll be gone, but not today.

This is the latest thing i’ve been working on. What is it? Briefly, it’s got something to do with my ex’s birthday :P

Obviously, being my first love, i’m not over him. And as this day approached, it ticked away at the back of my head that i should drawing something. It’s ironic how ever since we broke up, i’ve been reading that the best match for a Gemini woman is an Aquarius man; and how i’ve loathed such comparisons each time i’ve read them.

Obviously, he’ll never see or know this; and obviously, it didn’t turn out as i wanted because i was pressed for time, but at least now i can say that i haven’t moved on, but am trying to move above, in a very desperate and stupid manner.

I have a habit of nicknaming people, including my teachers :P I call my economics teacher Batman (behind his back of course) as a compliment, because he’s all tall, dark and handsome, and myesterious and quiet, and quite similar to batman in many other ways as i’m finding out :P

And why batman out of all superheros? Because once when i was passing by his class, i glanced inside, and it was dark, but i could make out that he was sitting inside :P

And well that nickname’s made me explore one of my favourite childhood characters.
