One Minute One Sketch

Following the advice given by one of the more mature sketchers on the Urban Sketchers (*.org) blog, I set out making sketches while not giving each one more than one minute. I also experimented on people which I hardly draw. The exercise was enriching and felt really free. Plan to keep repeating this. Plus I ended up with so many sketches!!

Regards.

Cave Temples of Badami and Aihole

Back in July, I went for a backpacking trip through Hampi, Badami and Bijapur. Due to limited budget, I had to cut down the duration significantly, although, it was an unadulterated first hand rendezvous with information. I went to Hampi first, then Bijapur, followed by Badami, Aihole, Pattadakal and back to Goa. During the last leg of my trip, I visited a lot of cave temples.

Now I had forgotten my charcoal so I decided to sketch the plans of the cave temples. I sketched a lot during the trip, although only a few sketches turned out good. Lack of practice I believe. More sketches from Hampi and Bijapur in the next post.
