History of Messy Sketchy

Hey guys...

My umpteenth attempt at blogging..

I ve spent a very good part of my life sketching.. When i say sketching i dont mean the highly aesthetic ones.. i do messy sketches that serve no purpose..( Im trying to invent a purpose for my sketches through this blog. )

I would like to give a big credit to Mr.DAVID SHANTAKUMAR, who has been a huge inspiration for my sketches. Without him i would ve been a normal person who doesn do any sketches or a normal person whose drawings are pretty. He was my history teacher when i was in school, his lectures were so boring that, i had no other option but turn to alternate modes of keeping my self engaged. I had nothing other than a pen and a history book with pictures of great kings/leaders/warriors. What started as a simple vandalism has now become a true art form(its my blog.. i can write anything i want).

One of my first messy-sketches was that of a wrestler, i used to call him 'Muscle Man'. i drew muscle man almost daily and almost anywhere. I ve posted the messy-sketch of muscle man here.. Most of my school/college friends would easily identify this iconic figure.













My favorite messy-sketch is a caricature of a Cruiser bike. Again an iconic messy sketch. Most of my college friends would identify this. I always choose the cruiser bike over other bikes because, it represents a true art.. all right i'll cut the crap.. its jus coz its easy.









One of my best works is this.. thanks to all girls in school/college who had a nice pony-tail and was unfortunate to be seated in front of me.  You girls were a huge inspiration . I call this messy-sketch as Please turn Back. A tribute to all those unfortunate girls...









Thanks for reading through my blog.... 
More sketches coming up....
