How I draw my To the point cartoons

 

I think of a joke first. The joke should not involve complex actions and difficult expressions.

Then I imagine in mind my art. 

Then I draw with Artline Drawing System gel pens.  If the drawing is difficult then I draw roughly with light pencil and then use my gel pens.  I draw in normal A4 sheet.

Then I color the drawings with Staedtler Luna watercolor pencils. 

Then I take a bowl of water and dip a art brush in it and spread the watercolor pencil shading.

I allow the drawing to dry.

Later I take a snap with my mobile camera and edit for size.

I upload the photos suitably in blogs and type the joke below the drawing .

That's all.

I don't use e-devices but paper and art materials .

Recently watched movies

Doctor G (Netflix) - A nice enjoyment.  Life of a male gynecologist student. Ayushmann Khurana in lead role.  The whole family can watch. 

Thai Massage (Netflix) - Not very good.  Adult concept. Male members can watch separately in their own device with earphones because it is comical and offers lessons. 

Thank God ( Prime) - Good one. An experimental concept on karma and paap and punya. Sidharth Malhotra and Ajay Devgan.  The whole family can watch.  

These were the activities that I did this weekend. 

Today is Pongal. As we are Tamil we celebrate.  However being in Ranchi we don't get all the necessary things like haldi plant etc. My mother makes all the dishes associated with this festival.  Today she will make salt Pongal and sweet Pongal. And offer neivedyam to God. Then eat. 

Take care. My good wishes to you.  Have a nice day!!

Chess Status - 11th Jan 2023

I am indeed thankful to Russian people for the apps of Chess King.  Namely 1. Mate in 3-4 2. Chess endings 3. Chess Strategy 

Here is my learning report card. 1. Mate in 3-4  89% 2. Chess endings 70% 3. Chess Strategy 66%

Stockfish is very exciting Chess game software engine.  Unlike other Chess apps. I get beaten by Stockfish 4 every time. However  I hope to beat Stockfish 5 every time in a years time. 

Magnus Carlsen is Stockfish 15 level.  And our own Vishy Anand comfortably beats Stockfish 8.

My imagination in limited space is high. Good for Chess. I am good in general golden ratio.  Possibly good for Chess. 

I just might be suitable to help Pragg and Nihal and Gujarati and others.

Khuda hafiz!!
