After u guys finish reading or rather, being more precise.. finish seeing this post, m sure that u ppl will complain that the caption is misleading. Y m saying so is that, if u probably search in any search engine with this caption, wot u r gonna get is "many sites n books" talking about the do's and dont's of sketching or maybe some guides to learn "how to sketch"..
So... here it goes .. :)
Eyes...
These are two of my sketches which i like a lot for no other reason but that " they were different"..wen i looked at the original pics, it catched my attention as they looked very simple but still had so much meaning n so many feelings in them..Wondering y i said "the original pic"?.. hmm the reason is that i completely lack imagination in case of sketching :( . If u ask me to c something n draw, i will do that pretty well. But if u ask me to imagine something n then draw.. m sure that the output wont be appreciated :(..Well.. coming back to the reasons, another very obvious reason is that, they came out as wot i wanted them to :) .. When i showed these two sketches to one of my friends, he told one ambiguity in each. Hmm.. so heres a game for u guys... can u spot the error?????? Oops.. i guess i shudnt have asked u to spot the error.. u know y??? Recently, I asked my cousin brother to tell me one similarity between me n him. He thought for a while n then said " v both work for the same company". Well, that was obviously a similarity but was not wot i was looking for. So he tried again. He said " v both belong to the same family". Wen given another chance, he told " v both are the youngest one at home". He actually came up with many such similarities that v had but not wot exactly i had in mind :(
Getting wot m trying to tell???? I mean to say that.. if i ask u guys to find the fault, probably u ppl will have a look at the sketches as a critic n will come up with many errors which may or maynot have the one that m talking about and i wont obviously feel good to hear about faults in my sketch :( . So guys, leave the game aside n lets move ahead with some other sketches... :)
This is one of my sketches that tops my fav list. Nothing great about it probably but its very close to my heart. Actually one day i was very upset about something n was feeling very low. I didnt want to sit in a corner n brood. So i just took my pencils n started sketching. It took me probably an hour or so but wen I was done with it, I realised that in that one hour, I had not thought about the thing that had spoiled my mood even once. I was actually amazed coz if I go low, it actually takes me a long time to come out of it. Probably, that is wot a hobby is supposed to be.. something which u enjoy doing n which can take u to another world .. away from the things that hurt u..Small Girl..
I like this sketch for the very simple reason that " I found it cute :)". When I sent this sketch to some of my friends and asked them as to "which word will u use to describe this pic?", many told "Black" .. Plssssssssssss dont ask me why Black ok!!!! ;)
Lady..
NB: No description for this..
Software Professional's life is... 
The speciality of this sketch is that "this was the only sketch for which i have ever got a prize"..
Actually that prize was the result of a united effort by me n one sweet friend of mine who gave me the idea... Thanks again dear friend :)..
Hmm.. that brings me to the end of this post.. Know wot guys??? If u ppl have read my post "the power of caption", then I had mentioned in that, that I had attended a lecture by Kalyan Varma about Wildlife Photography. He showed us a slideshow of his photographs and proudly told us the story behind each. Actually, when I was talking about my sketches, I got that same proud feeling that he wud have got at that time :)...
Actaully, I had uploaded many of my sketches in Orkut but one person in my friend's list told that I was doing "self advertising" :(... I wasnt completely deterred but that did make me think.. Had wanted to post my sketches in my blogsite long back, but maybe, that statement was holding me back. But guys, dont u think that v shud do wot v want????.. n not bother too much about wot others tell??? After all "It's my Life" yaar.. and i have got this opportunity to live only once.. If I dont do wot I feel like, then probably.. that wont be the real me!!!!

Nice topic. Hey i dont think the topic and the way you have narrated differs in anyway. Its the way the content is taken along. One can be precise and write the whole content based on the topic, or can go in a way that anyone can understand. U have gone the second way and narrated it in a detailed way. Topic would have been better if u had kept picture speaks more than words and should have asked all ur friends to comment on it. I bet very few have the capacity to understand and draw like what you have done. So topic suits to ur approach in some ways, though not precise. Its not about the method that is being used, but its the ouput that is given out of the work. Ur gifted as i already have told u. Out of the pics that u have posted in this blog and the ones that you have showed to me, i liked three of them. The Hands, Eyes and last the girl. Rest are fine, but would not prefer rating them. Since i have rated and commented on the pics earlier i am not doing the same again. But since u have left it as a question, i would like others to find out the mistake in the drawing. Now coming to the hobby part, its very true, the thing that u love doing dearly is the best past time for you and u have told that in words only, as u forget to follow the same sometimes. Think u understood what i meant. Coming to the last paragraph, there is nothing wrong in displaying what you are good at. So dont listen to them who comment in a wrong way and post all the pics that you have in orkut. Good blog after long time.
What i liked about this blog is that its ambiguous yet very focussed
One thing which struck me was the potrayal of human feelings. Be it the
experienced hands, the expecting eyes, the small child or the grandpa.
Each sketch was related to human sentiments and mind. And it is always
expected from a person like you who is as close to emotions as the
the flame is close to the wax..
Re: Anonymous
hmm gud u didnt feel that the caption was kinna unrelated to the matter..:)
ya, the idea of asking the readers to comment on the pic might have been a gud one as that wud have let them think n bring out wot they felt or understood. here, i wanted to tell wot it meant to me. actually i have also not told wot i exactly understood from the sketch or wot i wanted it to tell, i just have told y each one of them are special to me. actually, u know, wot one understands from a pic or a painting or a sketch depends on that person. actually the artist wud have had something in mind that he wanted his piece of art to reflect. but the viewer can actually understand or decifer some other meaning depending on his state of mind or his level of awareness or understanding. just take a modern art for example. the artist has something in his mind. but the critic might actually appreciate the art for some meaning or feeling that he cud take out, if the artist has not told his view already. i dont know how much m making sense to u...
yup coming back to ur comment..
he he he yup.. i do agree that this ability is something that i have been gifted with but i have actually not done my part to improve it :(.. dont know if i will ever do that also. not that i dont want to improve but somehow now i find it lil difficult to follow the rules that someone else has already defined. once a girl who has learnt sketching, appreciated my work n gave me few tips to improve. one was about the proper pencil to be used and the other was about the style. i did accept the one about using a better pencil and did replace my normal ones with the "specially made for sketching" kinds. i even tried to do according to the style that she told but somehow i didnt like that. i mean.. i felt the output wud have been better if done my way. so, i now continue to do my way :)
i do agree completely with the view on hobby. but r u referring to some incident that happened wen u say "as u forget to follow the same sometimes"????? ;)
if yes, i have a different view of looking at that incident.
well, to end the reply.. a sincere thanks for the sincere appreciation :)..
