Everybody on this planet has a story to tell! - The Story Book

A friend  of mine once told me that he can do anything with his life and still remain a storyteller. To which my reply was 'Aren't we all?' . We all are storytellers, aren't we? We all have the story of our lives to be told. We all have our different stories. And that is what makes us different and yet, we all are the  same storytellers!

So that brings me back to my storytelling! 

Sketch of Kirtimukha from Ajanta's cave no. 2

I've been dying to post a lot of stuff on my blog  from so long. So this post is dedicated to all that. This is a compilation of a lot of stuff. hope you enjoy it.

Oh well, the topmost sketch has an amazing story. The sketch is of a demon from Hindu mythology called Kirtimukha. Lord Shiva was to marry Parvati, daughter of the king of Himalayas. Jalandhara, conqueror of all worlds made fun of this. He said that the princess of Himalayas deserves a king like Jalandhra than a beggar like lord Shiva. Lord Shiva got very angry when Rahu delivered this message to him. Lord Shiva's third eye opened and gave birth to a ferocious demon. This demon was lord Shiva's wrath that wanted to consume Rahu. Rahu begged for his life. Lord Shiva stopped the demon but the demon was hungry and begged for food from lord Shiva. Figuring out the uselessness of the daemon now, lord Shiva asked the daemon to eat himself. When the daemon was was left with his head alone, lord Shiva gave him the title Kirtimukha- the face of glory. Kirtimukha was now immortal and now adorns the top of the enterance every single Hindu temple.

Coming back to the blog! -

random sketches of body dynamics. I dint really want it to be the usual anatomy, so I made the characters a little edgy, almost a wire-frame.

This one has a grown up and a baby penguin and two
 polar bears. The little rectangle there has a rough sketch
of my layouts.

This picture and the two that follow are some rough
 sketches for my college assignment. We were asked
 to design a poster on any issue concerning our
 world today. I took global warming. This picture has
 a grown up and a baby sea lion.

This sketch was the one that I took for my final layout- a baby polar bear and a lil penguin .

I guess its a lot for one post. I'll post the rest soon, including the final poster of the above. Hope you liked it!
