Sharing a page from my sketchbook. House Sparrow Male Study (Passer domesticus) 1/2 Dustbathing is one of the essential activities for birds, #art #nature #birds #illustration #sciart #indianwildlifeartist #scientificillustration #birdart #inkart #wildlifeart #sketchbook #traditionalart #penart

Page from my sketchbook. House Sparrow Male Study_1(Passer domesticus). Handmade black and white pen and ink artwork. Bic ball pen with black cap placed on open sketchbook page. Black white-colored bird. Angry expression. Black cheek, eyes, iris. Black throat and streaks of black on the breast. Streaks of black on feathers, sitting on the ground, sand granules flying from wing feather movement. Background is a green paper cutting mat with white lines in squares going vertically, horizontally and diagonally.

Another study from this series completed after a lot of struggle.
Dustbathing is one of the essential activities for birds, the lack of mud roads in the city I feel could also play a part in decreasing numbers of small birds like sparrows. The cowshed vacant plot beside it provide ample space for smaller birds to be their normal.
From the neighbor series of study works Sparrow study dustbathing.

I I S E E Y O U I Minimal lines, maximal depth. A hand-drawn meditation on presence, perception, and connection. - The Asylum Art - Art and words by Yves #InkArt #Minimalism #art #blueskyart #abstract #AbstractDrawing #ContemporaryArt #complexptsd #blackandwhite #monochrome #penart #pen

This ink drawing captures the haunting elegance of attention and awareness. A deep black circle anchors the piece, from which delicate, radiating lines extend like perceptive filaments—suggesting both the iris of an eye and the unseen threads that connect us. Executed in a minimalist style on textured paper, I See You invites quiet reflection on how we observe and are observed in return.

Sharing a page from my sketchbook. Little Cormorant (Microcarbo niger) from Hoskote Lake, Karnataka, India. 1/2 Getting back to studio practice #art #nature #birds #illustration #sciart #indianwildlifeartist #scientificillustration #birdart #inkart #wildlifeart #sketchbook #traditionalart #penart

Page from my sketchbook. Head study of Little Cormorant (Microcarbo niger). Handmade black and white pen and ink artwork. Bic ball pen with black cap placed on open sketchbook page. Black-colored bird. Confused expression. Black feathers, eyes, iris. White throat. Background is a green paper cutting mat with white lines in squares going vertically, horizontally and diagonally.

Getting back to studio practice after a couple of weeks’ well deserved break. Deadlines, priority works, family, month end bills, when many tasks demand my attention at the same time. I make a list that needs immediate attention and the ones that can wait for a couple of days. I still make time for sketching and scribbling in my sketchbook.

Wishing everyone a Happy Mother's Day!

A page from my sketchbook.

The process of observing birds choosing their partners, building their nest, courtship, egg laying and upbringing of their young ones and then watching them fly away, teaches great life lessons!

And this process happens year by year; art of parenting is a great soft skill. I’m privileged to watch and learn from them.
