GQ Sex talk for October

This article talked about how 90% females are unsatisfied by their male partners and still do not protest about it just so male ego is not hurt. It talked about how a man can know his woman had a great or good time....and so on.
i thought no matter how well built or sleek the guy is if he is going to fail 90% of the time is satisfying her then he is just a play thing for her. I wanted her to feel and look like this nature godess who is not really impressed by him. so the concept was explored in two sketches and then taken on to final.
I enjoyed working on this one and learnt that i have to keep my eyes wide open while drawing next time i draw her foot. Shes become a bog foot here :) there is never a next time and i screwed it up here.

PITCH FOR PICTURE THIS

This set of 40 illustrations was created for PICTURE THIS PRODUCTIONS.I was working for them for the first time and they wanted to make images to convey their film. The entire first pass was done ina storyboard manner but soon the directors felt that it was not communicating what they wanted to say. They took some time and came back with the idea of getting rid of the backgrounds in most of the places and keep the focus on characters and expression to that the focus will remain on the story.
It was a good learning experience for me as well as i did feel the approach they followed was spot on. I liked working on the drawings as it was the most fun part then on its all technical inks and colour.

SHAADI KE LIYE

These were created in lot of hurry for a friends wedding. He is a director with SODA FILMS and for his wedding he wanted to do some different invitation. After some discussion he came up with the ida of DVD dust jacket and inserts and he wanted to make it look like a film dvd. The 6 frames went for the cover. The couple on horse back was for the dvd back. One insert for sangeet card. And one for the envelope. Was a rush rush job for me as i was juggling between two other assignments. but in the end it was fun. Hope you guys like it.

GQ assignment 4

This is done for Sex talk in GQ for the month of september. The article highlighted the importance of setting, mood and music while having sex. It talked about various songs that can be tried for various moods and how songs playing in background can affect your partner. few roughs as usual..the one that i wished would go for print and finally the one that went for print. hope you guys like it

GQ assignment 3

Third assignment for GQ. My first time working on a feature that is an article spreading across 6 pages...feature was about plastic surgery and idea was given from the clients side to work on realistic drawing style like leonardo's. Since i m so unable to draw realistic i suggested to go a bit modern and get bit machine/digital elements in it...The whole assignment went back and forth many times as right from beginning the clients had a more realistic feel of the whole thing wehre as i was aiming for a more 2d approch...any way not the best of my assignment..could have been better.
