Sketching Workshop with Sebastian Loerscher

A week back, our office (MOD Institute) in collaboration with NextHamburg and Goethe Institut, Bangalore organized a crowd sourcing exhibition NextBangalore Gatishil for the citizens of Bangalore. A part of the exhibition was a week long sketching workshop for the citizens of Bangalore. The workshop was conducted by Sebastian Loerscher, a very able illustrator and an awesome friend. This workshop comes after three years of his book "Making Friends in Bangalore", which he produced the first time he was in Bangalore.

Without talking about it further, here are some pictures from the workshop, followed by my sketches done during the workshop. Enjoy!

Thank you Sebastian, for being a lovely friend!

Cheers!

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. 

Regards.

Gokarna

Me and some 12 other friends went to Gokarna, a temple town in Karnataka last month. I really didn't get any time to sketch there, but for this one. Cheers!
