[private]oh its been soo soo very long time ago since i wrote about or did any experimental stuff maybe thats the reason why this blog is so kinda , sort sleepy and dead 🙂
anyway yesterday which searching for solution about messy mesh points , i stumbled across some yum scripts for illustrator . Which in turn let me to more experimentation and here is what i drew.
looking at the sketch it seems that there has been some extensive vector working done here but here is the secret
the ingredients in creating the intricate patterns are two illustrator scripts ARC twist and fleurify
i am adding the vector file for you to download here happy scripting everyone!
[private]You might remember my last sketch , Speachless , i needed some inspirational texts to keep me motivated hence i created this wallpaper for my desktop and you can have it as well. This one is 1280×1024 px. let me know if you need any specific size .

[private]Year 2010 had been such busy year for me , during this year i really stopped writing anymore of the tutorials and got busy working for myself , getting myself ready you can say for the freelancer’s freedom. And i must say i have done it successfully . During this time i started my own online illustrations and graphics store and very successfully started getting orders for custom designs and illustrations which i like doing most!
During this time i found myself lost in creating FOR the client and started wondering if i was beginning to loose myself as an artist? … just to explore myself and the way i am going and my art is going i started 100 sketches , the idea is not really to produce all 100 sketches in coming 100 days but it is just a path to exploration and i am so behind!! .
Yesterday i again doodled out some stuff and then started working on it having a clear idea of what artwork i am looking for so i doodled…. and got lost doodling 🙂 here is what i ended up creating.
Just wanted to share my latest illu , i am planning to put up the vector pack up for sale as a graphics pack collection and a downloadable eps file. will be soon available through my Store .
During this process of self exploration through different mediums i am these days trying out new techniques with water colors . I will be posting a few more of these in coming posts . I hope to expand my knowledge of shapes , forms and creative techniques.
I Have been pretty lazy in posting something new , but i tried many new things ! , i pen and inked a collection of leaves inspired by the sea creatures and i tried my hand with appearances in illustrator , but that’s another story… i will post those later i guess. For now i have another sketch for you this is a set of swatches which i created while playing with few circular shapes. 4 color options of this pattern are included.
The swatches file is in CS4 im not sure if it works with the previous versions so i have also included in the download eps file , browse to swatches panel after you open eps file .Below is a preview and the details of download.

My dad just returned from a trip to Tashkand , yesterday i was going through his very interesting trip’s photos . This city in rich in its architectural content one particular photo that captured my attention was the architectural of a gate.crafted during Amir Taimour Era.
The just look at the awesomeness of the intricate detail of carvings and the placing of the niches.
i have always been fascinated by arches and niches these are somehow a perfect artistic form and evolves into different forms and shapes if you just look at it deeply. I created a vector experiment starting from a blob and then formed different niches and arches finally the vector work was taken into photoshop and textured. Below is the vector rendering (which you can download as part of 100 sketches series till available) this is followed by my finished textured artwork.
Project :- Self Exploration
Medium :- Drawing in illustrator , editing in photoshop
2 years back i posted a series of 100 illustrations in 30 days , i had lots and lots of time free in my hand i guess! LOL and i did accomplished that , what this speed illustrations did was wonderful.. the outcome of speed illustrations not only opened up understanding of tools for me but definitely helped me increase my illustrations speed…
I guess self exploration never ends , only if you start to explore… I am working on a new project now , which involves self exploration in whatever media i feel like exploring … coloring , painting , sketching , digital … just anything i need to find what suits me the best.
You are invited to follow me on this quest and criticize my work if you can find some time in your hands.
Each illustration or work will be available for downloads limited to 20 !
