Da Vinci Eye

 Ever notice how Mona Lisa always stars at you? 

This is the famed illusion. It's an eye that follows you no matter which direction.

Yeah Right, I am rubbish at Anamorphic painting. 

And Mine's Just an ordinary painting. It does not follow you, not a wee bit. 

Never mind, 

I'll definitely learn all the geometry concepts behind it and give it another shot later some time. For Sure.

Coke Mona

I have always liked the splash coke art 

such as this and this and this one too.

Aand since I was feeling super creative today, I ended up painting a coke splash including this 24 years old lady. 

Hope you like this version of mona as much as you did the hardrock one.

Hard Rock Mona

Since my last post, I was waiting impatiently to post my rock version of Mona Lisa. It was not exactly easy to paint Mona Lisa but i found the entire process quite interesting. And all this has forced me to paint more and funnier versions of her. 

Here's a glimpse into what I will be posting in an hour. 

Da Vinci ♥

Da Vinci fever's terribly all High today. I just ended a poster dedicated to leonardo's Art and Science. Its more of a sketch though. You know, He was one strange guy. Ever see his journals? From helicopters and pumps, to old man faces and robots. Oh, and eyes.

let me know if I did any justice to the great man.

I have painted the hard rock version of mona lisa as well. But lets keep her for my next post. You should feel free to give your ideas about other versions you want me to paint.

Happy Da Vinci-ing :D

p.s, my net was acting mad for a while but I just got it fixed today.

You have no idea, what I went through for not posting anything up for this long time. It felt bad, really bad. Or Since Im deeply and madly in love with art's my life, it felt immensely bad.

Aaand i wonder if I ever cross your mind...

It's done, done , Done!

and i wonder if I ever cross your mind...

It's 3.47 am right now and instead of sleeping, I am trying to put my little creative idea to reality. It has been like an hour that I have continously played 'Need you now'. Yeah right, old song. But not that much and it can never lose its charm no matter how old it gets. There are certain songs that you couldn't help listening to again and again.


So,What are your favorite songs?


P.s, wait for a few minutes till I get the little couple cut and sticked somewhere near the pretty lass. Dont miss the final look. I hope it will come out good. Maybe cos I am feeling all so "cheesy" :P and this is something quite beautiful I am trying to paint.

 Isn't the view beautiful? It takes my breath away. Well, it would if I had any.

 

Thundering sound and elaborate embellishments -

Since I was a kid, 

the only thing that amused me on roadtrips was a truck, or specifically the pakistani truck.

It has always seemed so elegant to my eyes. I ponder how does the driver feel like sitting in that decorated cabin. There's this chrome door he could open and close, there are these colorful nightingale paintings and silklaces above his head and then, there's this royal crown on top.

I wish I could paint all my stuff in the very same colors as those used in painting the hills, rivers and falcons on the majestic body. 

and I also wish to fit in the driving seat for once in my life. I truly wish. The experience will be phenomenal. I will be sitting among all those bright things. Things that capture my mind every time the pressure horn is pressed alerting my senses that your love's making his presence on road and I move my head out of the window in curiosity.

If kundan were red...

I don't like to dress up much,  I am pretty much a malang that way but when it comes to accessories, I want to buy the entire jewelery shop.  I  wanted to paint my all-time favorite kundan teeka + I had this wonderful painting of an unknown artist I found at bing... so I used his/her color technique to paint my model face.

P.S, No plagarism. Whosever painting it was, sir/madam, you have full rights to the color combination in the face. I am afraid I don't know your name :/

Eid. Guests. Sweets. But Me.

Today was a great day, not because Its eid, nor did I visit dozen of places nor I got tons of eidi but it was good nonetheless. I got phonecalls and greeting messages from people I expected the least from. And this makes me kind of happy and that its just not me who can control my feelings...there are certain other people who do that too. People that I dont pretty much care about but still they DO make me happy.

I hope it doesn't go true for making me sad.
Cos' I dont like when others and their actions ruin my day. I dont think they are worthy of spoiling my mood. I promise myself, I wont let others Rule My Emotions. Rule My World.

P.S, then there are four exceptions. and I dont wanna let the number increase.

Today has been the best morning ever, I woke up to find an envelope from my honey bee. We haven't meet personally since three years but guess what? she finally found the Split heart pendant we both were so looking for all these years.

She's the awesomest friend I ever had and probably will have.
I lauve you M.S (lol@ the initials ;])

okay, here are a few paintings I did the other day. I saw the real ones in an old newspaper, nearly 2 years old newspaper while cleaning my 'stuff'. All Hail the mughal princess.

Imitation of Kalifa Damani's "dreams"

This drawing is an imitation of Kalifa Damani's digital painting ‎"Dreams". I found her on facebook and since then, I am a die hard fan of her work. She's a 21yr old digital artist, talented, a great human being and hardworking. If you like my painting, I would like you all to take a little time, and check out the actual digital art and rest of her work. Thanks.

We will all laugh at gilded (fake) butterflies

This heart, it beats, beats for only you ♥

Sing us a song and we'll sing it back to you
We could sing our own but what would it be without you?
This heart, it beats, beats for only you

Pssh! Me addicted to facebook? No! Oh, look 1 new notification!

Four days have passed since the new month began and I haven’t studied a rat shit. Why do I plan such schedules that I never end up following? I had to finish my chemistry & physics and revise each subject twice before march. But what I did? I studied organic chemistry in the last week before my exam. Skipped two maths and 5 computer studies’ topics Because I didn’t have enough time and it was my exam in next 6 hours.

Procrastination.

Yes, that’s my problem. I procrastinate.

I waste my time networking.

Socialising.

*coughfacebookcough*

Not necessarily chatting, but maybe looking at the homepage over and Over Again.  It takes me over an hour to do even simple homework assignments because I am alternating doing my assignment with chatting and surfing around Facebook. I always let my profile reside in one of the tabs in a window cos’ I simply hate waiting for a page to load but then that's an excuse.

In fact the first thing I usually do is check my facebook text notifications when I wake up, or return from school (rather unconsciously too which is the scary thing )

 I can not get rid of this facebook addiction, it is my cannibis now…No matter how much my mum shouts at top of her lungs to shut the freaking facebook off. I just Cant Log off. I can’t. Simply can’t.  But I know I’m not alone, Obessive Facebook disorder  is a worldwide problem. Maybe they should start setting up facebook rehab? :P

I believe, I should have never become a facebook addict..i'm regretting it soo bad right now=/

So I decided to paint on this disorder of mine today.

Enough Said.  

Ima plan out my september timetable now, clean my messed up room, and  finish my homework.

Oh.

Darn. Its time I changed my latest profile picture.

See you soon, on facebook!

=p

Peach

My mother was asking me the other day, why do I often paint humans and trees. And Why not cute red roses? 

Ha! Cute and red? 

Whoa! Arnt Red just a little too cheesy? 

For her, Red’s the most brilliant color any flower, any shape can look in. I think differently. It is too  tacky for my taste. 

I have always adored yellow and peach flowers, Don’t know about rest of the fairer sex on this planet but I do. Cos’ they are Cute. And they are Bright. but then, that's just my personal preference.

I am also thinking to paint anything yellow, umm. Maybe yellow lilies!

So, what are you favorite flowers?

Aaand I choose to be Me.

For the past few days,  I am feeling totally satisfied. I don’t know why but I guess, finally I am  becoming okay with the fact that all I can be is me- and there's nothing wrong with that! . Also, I have started to believe that we can control our feelings. I can feel only what I CHOOSE to feel, I can love or hate, I can smile or cry. I can do whatever I want to do, be whomever I wish to be. But you know How? I have to expect less from others and more from myself. Or better, Expect nothing from anybody but yourself.

You see, you expect less, you get hurt less. And you will start to rejoice every unexpected happy moment all the way more. Like you enjoy surprises. Yeah! Exactly the same way.

Here are some more of my paintings I did the other day.

I really wanna know if you second my thoughts?

Take me to Never Land

I'm sometimes afraid of getting older, & dealing with the things an adult "must" deal with. I wish I could never grow up just like the neverland guy peter pan. Ahh, So awesome he was. And my life remains as easy as its today. 

People have water and insect phobias, and lol- I am afraid of a complicated life. When I have to earn my own money, cook my own food and make my own decisions. Its gonna be adventurous but so scary. No? This makes me remember a facebook Profile picture I edited under the same theme.  

This is an old man I drew. Lol. I just noticed how ironically he lacks the serious grin old people have and how more of our carefree craziness is reflected in his expression.

Are you too afraid of growing up?
