Watercolor sketches on A4 paper. I’ll try to post more soon..looking forward for the feedback/constructive critiques from all of you 
Some of my old vector illustrations -
No, i didn’t trace the photo, used mouse and pen tool in adobe illustrator.. every patch is a shape with different opacity.
Few of my recent & old doodles, i might work more on few of them..looking forward for the constructive feedback.
I wanted to create something cute/funny/erotic…obviously not happy with the result but, i had ‘BIG’ fun with her

My first detailed (so-called) caricature
It’s all started just because of Great Artist Jason Seiler’s (http://jasonseilerillustration.blogspot.com) caricature of Gaddafi..saw it on facebook and thought i should try it too..
just searched Gaddafi’s photos in Google and stared working on my first caricature..i didnt want to paint his body because i had no idea about the concept yet..so started refining his face..i was thinking about Gaddafi’s caricature even at work, traveling, doing other things..this was never happened to me before..damn Gadaffi…i was possessed by him 
so suddenly i thought about Machete’s poster..BINGO ! i was like..YESS ! and you can see what i did
i tried to show him stupid and funny at the same time..that’s why i added a fork, spoon, butter knife & scissors…as you all know about his nature, i painted that “I love me” text on his underwear..and a pack man ghost to add some more personality
Thanks to Jason Seiler for the inspiration !
hope you enjoy this…please feel to free give any kind of feedback/critique/comment
here are some details, wip images and ref. images !
This were stills drawn for a new documentary from Crime & Investigation Network about an evil sorcerer called “Sorcerer From Hell” – Ahmad Suradji, an Indonesian serial killer who murdered 42 women in ritual slayings.
Afew references were given – eg the photo of the killer and some background info on the setting. The rest were all imagined and made interesting by the artist.
The required style was supposed to be based on something with a FILM NOIR influence with dramatic lighting.
The task was to produce a series of layered stills that can be produced as animatics to supplement the other material in the documentary in a sketchy storyboard-ish style.
All drawings were executed by myself with some art direction and co-ordination from Mindflyer. Special thanks to Bull’s Eye Films for this interesting project.

Hello everyone,
posting one of my old work (2005)
Self Portrait from life..spent around 10 hours using pen tool and mouse…tried many layers of shapes with different opacity..keeping the basics of transparent water colors in mind.
See the step by step process below.
1 . Started without drawing..actually i was experimenting..wasn’t sure what I’m going to do 
first of all the ‘base’..
2. Unfortunately i did’t save many steps.. so, after adding some more shapes and details..
3. More details. Instead of making any shape dark or light, I tweaked that particular shape’s opacity or added one more shape on top of it to make it darker or lighter. Since the light source was from behind (kind of) i tried to show the subsurface scattering/ translucency using orange toned shapes around ear and neck…hope that’s visible.
4. Making those ugly sharp edges softer using shapes with more opacity…. added a green colored shape with less opacity to get rid of those sharp eyebrows and hairline…added mid toned shapes at few places to minimize the contrast.
5. Here you can see that how many shapes i’ve used..its not as complicated as it looks…there are many cool features in adobe illustrator, for those who didn’t use vector before….you can adjust any shape at any time using nodes, lock and unlock it, group it, hide it etc. we can use many layers while working in illustrator, but I didn’t use much layers because I wanted to tweak many shapes at the same time and it could be more complicated for me..I can’t really work with many layers :X
6. Final image.
