Supergirl

Felt like drawing another girl in Photoshop. Decided to make Supergirl. Took around 2 hours to paint this.

Need to explore more styles for painting. 

Tiger Tail

I'm thinking of submitting this as an iPhone cover. I've been thinking what designs to submit. Might go for a fan-art next. Let's see how that is received.

If you want to buy a cover with my design, please go here: http://www.love4apple.com/artists/rashi-chandra/.

One simply does not challenge a Dragon..

..even if one has a magical sword.

I think the dragon is going to have some fun with the little guy. Or will the little guy manage to slay the dragon?

Get well soon!

My friend told me that one of our friends was involved in an accident and he wanted to make a nice get well soon card for her. She had cosplayed as the Sorceress of Grey Skull (He-man, 2002) and he asked me to make that.

I hope you are up and about in no time girlie!

More sketches from the sketchbook

Some old and some new sketches that I have been doing since sometime. Still waiting to order my markers. Damn things are so expensive.

Yes, I have been painting...

I've been super busy with work and wasn't getting much time to spend on drawing. I have been sketching more on my sketchbook and will share my doodles soon. In the meantime, here are 2 speedpaints I did today.

So, they leaked the Godzilla teaser and whoa it's mindblowing. Can't wait to see a proper trailer. I hope they release it soon. Pacific Rim sort of made me go (more)crazy about super-sized monsters. After watching the teaser, I quickly painted this:

And here's a werewolf chasing something. Loose sketch and strokes. 

I will upload more stuff soon. 

Dragon, painted.

I found some old watercolors in my drawer and decided to test myself. I have always steered clear of painting because it's a lot more challenging. Okay, frankly, there is no Ctrl+Z button or Layers in real life.

So anyway, I didn't have any watercolor paper and I had to use my sketchbook's paper. Thankfully, it is a little thick and suited for markers.

Started out with a light wash of burnt sienna. Kept building more color where I wanted the shadows to be. Added black to the places where there was heavy shadow. I had intended it to be a monochromatic piece, but decided to add some yellows and oranges later. I think it is better to add black/dark colors in the end. But anyway. Since I am always so "un-decided", yellow and orange came at the end. Added a blue wash in the background. By now the paper was quite crumpled and since it's the rainy season, the paint was taking ages to dry. Turned the house upside-down and found my old hair-dryer. The paint was dry within minutes.

Once the paint was completely dry, I asked mom to straighten the paper out by ironing on it. My mom is lot more intelligent than me. She covered the paper with a cloth first and then sprinkled a bit of water and applied the press. Also, she did this on the opposite side of the paper because the stupid cloth bled some of it's own color. Anyway, no harm done. The paper was smooth and crisp again.

I took out my black and white pens and added some details. Also, color pencils.

I should do more waterpainting doodles. It was actually quite relaxing. Except waiting for the paint to dry. That was terrible. Thank God for hair-dryers.
