Doodle Series #40

Hey guys,

So I have been trying to strengthen my reading/writing of Urdu through the beautiful pieces of Urdu poetry. Knowing how to speak a language without 100% comprehension is frustrating when you do not know how to read/write in that language. By learning my mother tongue through my hands and eyes, I hope to pass on this beautiful language to the generations to come. Urdu is such a beautiful language that tends to be overlooked amongst our generation. To keep it alive, I plan to incorporate snippets of it throughout my posts. While I hope to learn from these posts, I hope you will as well. #PromoteUrdu

Here is a poem from the famous Urdu poet, Mirza Ghalib:

جب وہ جمال دلفروز، صورت مہر نیم روز، خود ہي ہو نظر سوز، پردے میں منہ چہپاۓ کیوں
•••••
Jab woh jamaal-e-dilfiroz, soorat-e-mehr-e-neem roz, khud hi ho nazra soz, pardey mein munh chupaaey kyun
•••••
Why should that charming beauty, like the midday sun ablaze, hide herself behind the veil, when none at her can gaze.

Enjoy!
Until next time,

Doodle Series #39

Hi Guys,

Hope you all are having a wonderful weekend so far. I recently made another piece which involved paint and had a great time putting it together. I decided to try something new aside from my usual Zentangle and Calligraphy designs, which is why I chose to try making some clothing sketches. I always admired the sketches that designers put together before bringing their clothing to life, but I was always hesitant on making something similar since I am not comfortable with drawing humans. However, in this case I realized that I do not have to focus on the face or body, but more so the clothing. I completely suck at making faces which is why I stick to anything but that.

Enjoy!
Until next time,
