This is a collection hand made sketches and tattoos.
This site is basically for the sketch lovers, those who want to learn sketching from basic. From this site you can learn anything about sketching, how to portrait, faces, animal sketches, etc. Now a days the sketching is quite easy to do by the help of software due to which hand made sketches is left behind and through this website we want teach people how to draw hand made sketches.
This book presents my ideas on sketching, how to sketch, my preferred tools and materials, and my particular sketching style, so feel free to embrace or reject anything you read here. The subject matter for these sketches reflects my world.
Some people are obsessed with sketching, and can think of nothing else. They don't need a list of reasons for sketching. But for the rest of us, here are a few possible reasons why we like to sketch:
For busy people who want to sketch (and who isn't busy these days?)
You want to sketch, but maybe you are not able dedicate much time to it. Or maybe you simply find long sketching sessions tedious. No need to feel guilty; practically everything we enjoy in life becomes miserable or even harmful if taken to extremes. It's a matter of dosage.
A small dose of sketching now and then can greatly enhance your life. You are the boss. Short sketching sessions of only a few minutes can be very fulfilling, and more enjoyable than long marathon sketch sessions.
I confess I sometimes find it a challenge to fit sketch time into my schedule. I don't sketch every day, but manage to sketch just enough to keep a little art in my life. Looking back at the past forty years since I took up sketching, I can see many times when sketching was practically all I did or thought about; I was obsessed with it. Those times alternated with periods of little or no sketching at all, when other things pushed my art to the back burner. Sometimes these dry periods lasted for years.
It's good to recognize that if there is a lot going on in your life, then your activity in sketching might resemble a pendulum; you will go back and forth. When you realize that you aren't sketching as you had in the past, don't throw away your supplies and think you have moved on. It's a good idea to keep a minimum of sketch tools handy for the moment when the spark returns and you find you are once again able to give a little more attention to your art. A tiny sketchbook and a few of your favorite sketch tools in your bag will call you when the pendulum starts to swing back.
This section covers the particular tools I use in my sketching. Some are perfect for busy people (and some are not so perfect).

Some people are obsessed with sketching, and can think of nothing else. They don't need a list of reasons for sketching. But for the rest of us, here are a few possible reasons why we like to sketch:
- Sketching is a luxury. Most people cannot draw (or at least are convinced they cannot draw). We do it because we can.
- Sketching is a great way to use time normally wasted waiting in lines or on public transportation or even meetings or lectures.
- Sketching gives you a reason to get out of the house on weekends or days off and visit places around town.
- Finished sketches give you a personal sense of satisfaction and accomplishment, especially when you have filled an entire sketch book. Its a way to bring a little joy into your life.
- Sketching is a great way to get recognition and praise -- hey, we all need it!
- Sketching is a way to give expression to the artist within. Perhaps you decided long ago not to pursue a career in art, and yet don't want to see your art ability go wasted.
- Sketching helps you to really see the world around you, and remember it in detail. It even helps you to redefine the world.
