Last of The First Ones...

Now that i promised my first post, here it is. In our first year of architecture, there is this useless subject (well, its taught uselessly) called Arts and Graphics. Our first assignment in that subject was to sketch a building on the spot and to point out various principles and elements of design in it. Well, i couldn't spot out the principles and elements of design properly, but one thing that i did good was to sketch the building. The building that i sketched was in Lajpat Nagar. Its right next to the Haldirams restaurant.

I liked the final outcome of the assignment 3 years back. Today when i look at it, i can clearly point our mistakes. Well, thats not important either. What is important is the sketches i made on the site. These sketches have now been added in my portfolio. Don't go by the presentation please. They are on site sketches.

TC!

Peace!

P.S: This blog really works. In the past 4 days, Ive attempted sketching thrice, out of which one attempt was decent. It will be posted soon.

Vast Empty Fields

Greetings!

Welcome to the new space. Its like an empty vast room with nothing in it. Waiting to be invented. It feels good to be constructing a whole new parallel world. I'm adding a new dimension to myself with this new space.

As the author and editor of this blog, i want you to know something. I want YOU to know that YOU are important for this space to be what i want it to be.

This blog will deal with Urban Sketching. A platform not known to many. It is the simplest form of sketching, wherein the sketcher or the artist sketches Urban Landscapes on the spot with any medium of his choice. And by 'On The Spot', i mean, 'ON THE SPOT'. Urban Sketchers are true to their artwork and never post stuff that does not exist. That also means, that nothing on this blog goes imaginary. Everything exists. Its like producing the fake matrix on the paper. Some On-Street Graffiti would also be featured, but thats just 1% of it. The rest will be sketches. Also, they would be On Street. No Sketchbook graffiti.

'Divine Aggression'. Sounds retarded? Is not. As artists people channelize their energy in artwork. I call it the creative energy. Though it exists as the stranger part of me. Its more of an aggression to do something. Therefore, the name.

I came to know about Urban Sketchers through a friend of mine, who himself used to paint on the spot. He does amazing watercolors. The main Urban Sketchers community can be found here. Also, this blog is an extension to my already existing blog which you'll find here.

This blog is just not an attempt to show off my artwork to the world. It has been created for a reason.

1) It will be compulsory for me to post here. Therefore, it will force me to sketch more frequently.

2) To be a member of the Urban Sketchers community, i need to have a portfolio, which will allow me to apply for the blog membership.

3) Art is a part of my strawberry tart.

I hope this works out.

Peace! ;)

P.S: First related post to be published soon.
