Sanjay

I am sorry I've not been drawing or posting for such a long time. The move to Houston was a very time AND energy consuming one, plus the new job and getting used to new schedule as well. I couldn't even find the time to look at posts by all the EDMers and I know I am missing A LOT! I apologize for that and hopefully I'd be able to start drawing and posting regularly again very soon.
(Pencil on Moleksine Sketchbook 3.5 x 5.5")

Here's a short one. I thought I needed to do a quick sketch(well it took about 2 hours in the end). Sanjay is my friend Revathi's boy and he's a smart one! I just got to know him a little bit more on Friday and I am so glad we had such fun time playing Monopoly, and Revathi's amazing cooking too. I will be doing a portrait of both of them as a gift to her some time soon, and I will post it up for sure.

Thank you all so much for your comments and concerns. I am sorry if my absence caused any worries, but we're doing fine and I am just taking a break from drawing that's all. :)

    Great sketch, Sanjay looks like a very happy lad : )
    I can relate to the stresses, energy sucking and time consuming it is during and after a great move (we just underwent one too, still living with boxes all around us). But its great to see you back drawing again, and sound like you had a great visit with your friend and thats good you have time in between to relax enjoy life. I hope you find more time to draw, looking forward to see what you will post next : )

    Cheers,

    Mari

    I love this sketch, Alex. I've missed you terribly and wondered what had happened. I am happy to see you again and look forward to hearing about your transition to your new home and seeing more of your art.

    Take care, my friend,

    xoxo

    I figured that you were busy and not that you plunged down a nuclear chasm and demolecularized. I'm glad I was right. The drawing of Sanjay is magnificent, from the expression to the slick hair.

      :) thanks Sue, it's really sweet. I'm kinda in a middle of something major at work, so taking another break from art. But I should be able to get back on track in September hopefully.

    Hi Alex, you are a master in portraits! I especially like the way you reproduce the feelings of your subjects, working just in black and white! I wish you all the best for your new job and life in a new city! Your life appears so rich and full of interesting experiences!

      Thanks Debra, I've been busy coping with work and new life here in Houston. Hopefully I'll be able to free up some time and get back into drawing routinely again soon. I am working on something right now related to this post, but it's taking me a lot longer than before unfortunately :(
