5-minute sketches

Posted on by Shaily Agrawal

This January, I was at mom’s and had a bit of time at hand so I drew these 5-minute sketches (using the pictures I had taken during our visit to the zoo) to entertain my daughter while she practiced writing hindi alphabets.

Tiger under the shade of bamboo trees
A pair of alligators, originally two separate pictures of alligators
Peacock on a tree branch (there were peacocks every where that day)
A pair of ostriches (originally two shots of the same ostrich)
A crane ready to launch out of the tree into the lake below (there were cranes everywhere too)

Now, my daughter has started water colours this month and as a gesture of comraderie, I joined in the fun and made these.

The same pair of ostriches created from memory
Jungle fowl

Here is the only one where I took a bit of time, around 30 mins.

Back of a golden pheasant

My reintroduction to art is so much fun I am having a hard time stopping to live the real life.
