Fashion

The word fashion instantly brings to mind a flash of beautiful colors with a dash of glamour and chutzpah. Fashion plays an increasingly important role in an individual’s life because it is considered as a means of self-expression. The garments and accessories the male and female wear distinguish them from others.

Fashion is the way of life, a reflection of inner beauty, complete with comfort quotient. Though fashion trends keep changing and most fashion divas and fashion designers and the models are the ones to make them.

Paris, Milan, New York have always been the fashion hubs. Now metro cities in India too are catching up with the new trends and styles. Here the major source of influence in fashion is Bollywood. The youth is the major follower of the latest fashion trends.

In my fashion sketch, I used primarily watercolors to make it look more trendy and vibrant. For outlines, I used a pen to highlight the contours.

Thanks and have a nice day.

Diya

The light symbolizes knowledge, positivity, prosperity and good health. Lighting diyas on daily basis is considered highly auspicious. It is said that regular lighting of diyas removes darkness, ignorance. 

It is the customary rule in India to start all the auspicious religious events or social functions by lighting the lamps. It believes that we invite the divine to come and bless us. Traditional oil lamp, with a cotton wick, has a spiritual significance. The wick symbolizes the ego and the oil symbolizes our negative tendencies. Light represents the presence of the Almighty. It gives life, destroys evil. It is the purest form of energy.

Thank you and have a blessed day

Butterfly

Beauty, vibrant colors and ceaseless actions, well that’s what you see when you spot a butterfly.

It's the glory and grace that has inspired everyone. Artists look at their wings as a canvas of most striking patterns by nature. Photographers have loved to capture its beautiful colors and patterns. Writers have plenty of quotes that narrate the butterfly stories.

I have always been fascinated by the beauty of butterflies. It gives me immense pleasure to see a gorgeously patterned butterfly appearing from nowhere and captures my attention.

In a true sense, a butterfly is a symbol of real freedom. It moves around freely from one plant to another, tasting nectar from one flower to another and is never bound by any fences and borders.

Apart from beauty, it’s harmless and does good to nature without any expectation. Butterflies help growing flora habitat by transferring pollens. I wish everyone in this world should be like butterflies.

Here I drew a monarch butterfly. I used graphite pencils for the basic outlines then I darkened it with a black pen. I used watercolors to finish it.

Comments and suggestions welcomed from the viewers.

Thanks and have a nice day.
