a work on Kate Beckinsale, Pearl Harbor star ..

Just want to share some strange things about this shade. I used pencil for the face work and an eraser! for hair shading. I just followed my hand as it rubbed to all directions. Finally managed to present this pretty woman with my own Hair Style ( thanks to Natraj eraser :-) )....

A long awaited sketch on my favorite celebrity....
I'm not pretending to be impressed by her acting.
Its her attractive look which made my heart melt and wane my pencil's lead..

Believe me or not - I've watched the movie"Twilight" for some uncountable turns. Still the story of the movie remains unwrapped to me!! For me the movie was "Just Kristen Stewart !!!! " and no one else.......

Hoping for a day - Kristen would visit this little fan's blog and scrap a comment ....

Many Kristen arts on the way !!

How can you help Anitha ?

Adding to the previous post .....

What happened to Anitha?
     Anitha Ashokan is a 2008 graduate from Birla Institute of Technology & Science. Anitha’s father is a government servant with the Indian Revenue Service and her mother is a home maker. She has a brother who is currently pursuing his masters in the US. She was based in Chennai(India) and was working with Satyam Computer Services Ltd., till May 2009, when she fell ill with a rare kind of brain disease. Months later she was diagnosed with Balo's Concentric Sclerosis, a rare variant of acute Multiple Sclerosis found in India. At present, she is under medications and rehabilitation therapy which is a long drawn process and involves prolonged hospital stay. Though her medical condition is at present stable, her neurological condition has shown very little improvement. She is now being treated by a team of Neuro specialists in CMC and the doctors have shown a ray of hope in treating her. At present, she is being rehabilitated at BAGAYAM, CMC, VELLORE.

How can you help Anitha?
    Anitha's family is providing her with the best treatment possible. In this hour of huge personal crisis, we are looking at helping Anitha’s family financially.

    A Personal donation account has been opened at the INDIAN OVERSEAS BANK, Madurai(India). Bank account details are provided in the following link.

Anitha Ashokan Draft - link to bank account details.

    Even a small contribution would be of great help to her parents in this crisis. Her parents are in desperate need of financial assistance as her treatment may take months together or even years. We just hope everybody who reads this comes forward to contribute and also circulate this information to every person possible.

    Rest assured that your efforts to help Anitha will go a long way in acting as a big boost to her family and give them the much needed strength to carry on. Thank you very much, and here's hoping that we will come together to help Anitha and make a huge difference in her life.

- Anitha's well wishers!!

There's always a reason to smile !!!

Pencil Shading ..

“I believe it was my 15th year when I realised my horrible handwriting was bruising my happy schooling days. I should actually feel happy for this, as I never expected this would spark some talent within me. I worked hard to get my letters straight, and eventually got them too. But as a side benefit, I found that I liked drawing cartoon characters.”

“But it was the appreciation and encouragement from people around me which gave me the idea that I could draw too. My shcooling days were tough, and I refrained myself from deviating my concentration from studies. Even at that, I never missed any chance to spend time in drawings if I found a little free time.”

“I’m still clueless on what inspired me to do my pencil shading work. Basically I like presenting my friends with my drawings, thus slowly I improved my drawing skills. My goal is to continue expanding my abilities in the great field of Art.”
