Scrappy sketching

Needed to sketch a dragon.

And this is the first ridiculous sketch i made. I made many more dragons after this sketch, but this scruffy guy remained the favourite!

Its strange, most often things that happen without intent turn out better than when the things that happen with huge effort and intent! 

color sound and light

I decided NOT to listen to music today..

So it was a strangly silent day..... Except, I heard some sounds that i had never heard before! Like after I got myself a cup of coffee, Ii was holding against my cheek to warm my face, and I could hear a sound like shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! I realized that it was the sound of the little froth bubbles bursting!

Color, Sound and Light define ones mood. Primerily.
Around 20 minutes after midnight this new year i felt close to magic. The colors then were deep blue, warm orange.. no maybe glowing yellow, and brown.... there was the distant sound of waves, the creaking of weak floorboards, faraway music and sparse conversation. I was at a beach, and a friend had found a creaky old wodden plank bridge over a small riverett. The bridge was lined with star-shaped lanterns that were glowing deep yellow. I had just stepped out of the water after a crazy midnight swim... slightly cold, but the light was so warm.
That half an hour was pure magic.

And all these little moments when one sees a brilliant color, hears a soft sound, feel a little cold, and then warm again.... make up for all the rest of the loud keyboard sounds, high heel clatter, cell phone brauls, 2 degrees delhi winter, a grey and off-white office, a blue tinted glass that kills all golden light.

and then magic happens again.
