Day 15 : Family Portrait
My family is centered around my mom, where ever we all go, we always come back to her. She is our constant, never wavering. We wouldn't function properly without her. There are bits of her in all of us and bits of us in her too.
It just happens to be her birthday today :)
Happy birthday Moma! You are the sun to our solar system. Where would i be without you today!
We all may not be in touch everyday, but we are always connected to each other in our thoughts and in our hearts :)
P.S. i know the illustration looks a bit weird and unfinished, but it gave me great joy while making it. also, i know we look like snake-heads :D
Day 17 : Favourite Plant
Mimosa pudica, commonly known as touch-me-not plant. i think i like this plant because it describes me to a small extent.
Day 18 : Just A Doodle
Day 19 : Something New
For something new, i thought i would try drawing with my left hand, but i had tried that before. So i thought i would do everything with my left hand for a day and draw myself doing all those things with my left hand. Hence, my drawing looks so crooked.
I realized a lot of things while doing things with my non-dominant hand. Some things are very easy to do like brushing and using the touch-pad on my laptop. Driving only with left hand (with slight assistance from the right) was most tiring on my hand. Somethings are very ambidextrous, like typing on a keyboard. Somethings are just too ingrained in our minds because of the movement of our hands. Opening a lock is supposed to be anti-clockwise by default. But we don't think each time what direction anti-clockwise is, it just comes to us because the motion of our hand is fixed in our brain. So while trying to open the lock with my left hand, i was trying to replicated that motion but was doing it wrong. This happened a few times only after which my brain realized that i was rotating it clockwise.
This was kinda fun, i'm going to keep doing this frequently.
Day 21 : Something You Want
Nine lives (or more), so i can be and do all the things i want to.
Day 22 : Something You Miss
Playing basketball is something i truly miss, the sheer discipline of training, my team-mates, sweat and blood, the sense of being part of a whole and also, my coach. My whole team did not make it all the way to the nationals, but we achieved something better, we brought about a change in how people view sports in my neighborhood.
Playing basketball at NID, the energy and strength required to play with guys, huge strong guys at that, made me stronger. I miss that quite a lot.
Day 23 : Something You Need
A looooooong trip, going nowhere and everywhere!
Day 24 : A Couple
I was trying to think of a perfect way to describe a true couple and thought that earphones were a good example. Their purpose is to be together, always! If one one gets broken, the other one is also discarded. Together, always!
Day 25 : Scenery
Pune traffic, just don't like it; there is no discipline. Vehicles taking turns from the last lane, two-wheelers scrambling like ants when the lights turn green and complete chaos when there is no working signal, which i witnessed on my way home just now. #Fail
P.S. the coloured blobs are supposed to be cars :p
Day 27 : Someone I Love
Although it doesn't look like her, this is supposed to be my sister. After several attempts, this is the best i could come up with <3
Day 28 : Anything you'd like
A magical plate full of awesome food that appears when i am hungry and clears away when i am done. The amount of food i waste because of the portions of food the restaurants pack is quite a bit. I just want enough food to survive and not waste anything. I had originally thought of this, but as the prospect of packing up a house and moving back home again draws near, I wish i had a house-on-wheels so i could go anywhere and not have to pack anything!!
Antarctica!! To the bottom of the world and lift it with my pinky :p
Day 30 : Congrats Banner for finishing the challenge
This challenge has been quite fun and has made me examine a lot of things about myself. Somewhere along the way though, it sort of became a bit of a burden, to work the whole day and at night and then staying up even later to do the day's drawing. I would plan my after-work hours depending on whether or not i would have the time and energy to do the drawing. Because of these time constraints, i couldn't execute a lot the ideas in my head but still i am glad i made it through (although a day late). i now feel a sense of relief and freedom and i can sleep early (although i don't think i will) or get the time to do the other things i want to (read, sketch more, finish dip, among other things). Congratulations indeed! :D

Day 25 : Scenery
This is how i used to make a scenery as a kid. It used to be much fun to paint it with poster paints, getting good flat colours, getting the correct gradation and merging them correctly.

P.S. the coloured blobs are supposed to be cars :p
