I am a self taught amateur artist. Art means so much to me.
Here are some of my art works from my page Artist with a twist.
.
"X-Wolverine"
Took a while to finish this work. Time taken: 40 hrs
Pencil and charcoal pencil on paper.
"Blood Fish".
This is rice art on a black boar. Took me roughly 4 hours. My cousin is the little girl posing in the pic. This is the biggest art work I've done till now. It is a variant of pointillism. Gonna start my next art. :)
"Fanaa"
When I began, I was not sure if i could do justice to such a wonderful photo. I felt that the core of the beauty lies in her pondering eyes, though blind, they still seek something or someone. He gives a warm and comforting smile, making her insecurities melt away. I have learned many vital lessons during the process of drawing this pic. Not just in terms of art but in terms of life. Hope you guys enjoy this pic as much as I did, while creating it
"Breathless Souls".
When a soul meets its other half, a beautiful emotion is born.... Love. This picture held me spell bound.... For its beauty lies not in the kiss, rather it lies in the tense BREATHLESS moments just before they kiss for the first time. It was an absolute honor to be able to capture the soul of this amazing pic. Dedicating this picture to all longing lovers.☺
(Used graded pencils and charcoal pencil)
"Bella"
My very first crayon art is finally complete! Dedicating this pic to my lil cuz bro Karthik Suresh . It was he who helped me buy the pastel crayons. He knew the moment I set my eyes on them, that I loved them. So he insisted that i get the colors. We left the shop with empty pockets but content hearts :) :)
"Lover's Dilemma".
Crayon Art. There were cuter pics of the Wall-E and Eve, but I chose this one over them because of its subtle reflection of the cruel side of love. Love is not always fun and joy. It can be a very long, cruel and agonizing wait. Wait too long and you may even self destruct. Whether 'to move on' or 'to stay' is love at its confusing best.
“Pretty little girl”
Pretty little girl in her happy little world. You should be warned!! Don't even think about touching her ice cream . I love watching kids, they always bring a smile on my face. This cute girl is in a world of her own. Sshhh!!..Let's not disturb...let her finish the ice cream. ☺
Drew it in over a period of weeks.
Pencil on paper.
"Lost In The Forest"
Drew this for the cover of a college magazine. I wanted to picture the fear in the eyes of someone alone and lost in the forest who hears a loud monstrous roar. Took me over 3 hrs to complete this piece. Inspired from the work of an unknown artist. I wanted to show the half moon more clearly, but didn't pan out the way I expected :(.
“Fire Moth”
My art work was selected as the cover page for Kerala Gramin Bank's magazine. :) :D
"Baby Santa".
My color pencil art.
If he asked me to buy him chocolates, I would never be able to say no to a face like that. :D
My water color work
"Santa's Day Out".
Time Taken: 2hrs
The theme of the picture is
"What she sees is what she is".
A portrayal of how circumstances make us what we are. :D. It was a pic that I used to train my sister to draw. :)
"Spiral Tree".
I am not all that big a fan of modern art, but I do like the stroke pattern and the color composition of the background. More works like this on the way.
"Morning Fog"
Some times....after monotonously working day in and day out, I fantasize about taking a break... Go far, far away from the busy streets and the hustle of city life. To a calm, serene and cosy small cottage. Sleep there, long and deep. Curled up under a blanket like a little baby.
Rise early in the morning, to the music of the chirruping birds, rejuvinated and reborn. Make a mug of coffee, savour in the aroma, with each sip. Open the window to the foggy canopy, and admire the slanting beams of the morning sun, the tall shadows, the babbling brook and just feel amazed...by the bliss that is life.
"Annu"
I got this request a couple of years ago. I took forever to draw this..Lol. Thank you for your patience Abhirami. You can repay me with a mutton biriyani. :D :)
The hair was paricularly challenging...The detailing to her eyes is what i am most satisfied with, in this work..Will.upload close ups later on.
Time Taken : 30 hrs
Medium : 1B to 6B pencil, Pen, Oil pastels
“Candid Priyanka ”
I chose this pic to draw as it shows her candid beauty.
Pencil and Water Color
Time: 20 hrs.
"Eye Petals"
Eyes are windows to ones soul. The captivating beauty of her eyes is this only element that made me draw her potrait. Hope you guys experience the spell binding beauty that i tried to potray OF Mila Kunis. :) :) :)
Took me roughly 10 hrs to complete this pic.
I write poems with pictures as well. If you are interested, like my page Artist with a twist to see more of my recent works. :) :D
Originally Answered: What are some of your best art?
This particular painting was done using watercolor on A5 using micron pen for the outlines and later markers for further accentuating and then black acrylic for the backdrop. I used only two motifs here:
- The petals which i wanted to be pastel but they turned out to be light cameron.
- The geometric print of triangles .
This has it’s own meaning of it. I made it keeping the thought of a blindfolded woman in mind. Blindfolded by her thoughts over her decisions but yet she aims to conquer them once and for all, being a crown over her head, the geometric patterns as she finds it complex to battle with her own thoughts over the ever changing world, which she feels is very dark in nature, hence the black backdrop.
I created this piece during 2016 .

I wouldn't call this artwork necessarily, they're more like scribbles and sketches in my tiny A5 sketchbook. And they are not amazing either. I just felt like posting because I guess what I draw is somewhat different? Not many people focus on drawing mountains and trees I mean.
Also drawing has never been something I've done often or considered my hobby — that is until some time last year when it struck my fancy.
As you can probably tell I love drawing trees and all aspects of nature. I love Alan Lee’s sketches of middle earth. I think that's partly why I decided to become better at drawing.
I've been trying to learn to draw facial proportions but I don't have the patience. That's why you only get half a face. :P I'll get around to it one day (hopefully).
I only managed to draw the left one by watching a YouTube tutorial. Hehe. Still took me ages though… The head on the bottom right is my lil’ brother.
Sorry for the crappy camera quality. Hope you enjoyed. My aspiration is to become as good as Alan Lee and all the other amazing artists out there. Think it will take another 50 years. *sigh*

I probably overdid it a bit. At one point I may add some white accents to bring out the beetle more.
Black hole dodecahedron lamp
In 2015 I designed and created a black hole lamp that tells the history, theories, and hypotheses on black holes and the black hole information paradox. I decided to communicate this information with a lamp as an ironic joke of sorts, considering light can’t escape from black holes.
However, when enough matter falls into a black hole, an accretion disc emerges around the black hole which can be seen in principle. Below is the front panel of the lamp, showing this accretion disc.

I designed two stencil typefaces consisting of dots for this project, which I lasercut so the light shining through the holes makes a reference to stars. Below is a sample of one of the typefaces, Zwartgat Macro (Dutch for “Blackhole” [Macro]), which was modeled on the typeface Baskerville.

And below you can see one of the panels, showing a Penrose diagram of the extended Schwarzschild geometry (a white hole), showcasing both Zwartgat Micro and Zwartgat Macro.

Zwartgat Micro was designed for most of the text, while Zwartgat Macro was used for display (the larger text). From this image Zwartgat Micro is quite hard to read, but the idea was that the light that comes through the holes fills in some of the black space in between the dots, thus making the text easier to read, and I think it worked:
