Another painting done on the native subject

An old painting of my native.

The finished picture..!!

And finishing it with final touches...

and..light and high lights..

Doing the shadows, shades and the middle tones..

Blocking the contours and forms...

I use a very basic palette when it comes to paint figures. reds, yellows and blues..

This is a portrait study that i have done back in 2006. the model is my student Amit Kare. He was patient enough to stay the time it took.

Some of the illustrations done for a series called 'kaama' means 'Desire' up on a friend's request. These freehand drawings were done with pen and ink.
