Doodle Series #42
Greetings everyone!
To start off my first blog post of 2018, I would like to wish you all a Happy New Year! May this year bring peace and prosperity to all, along with immense happiness and good health.
These two pieces were made in 2017 during the holidays for my mentors, however I took some time to post them on here. For my regular audience, you already know that I experimented with wood in the past and decided to touch base with it once again.
Enjoy!
Until next time,

Hi guys,
This piece is a visual representation of the poem written by Faiz Ahmed Faiz. Bol means "speak" in English. This poem was written during the freedom struggle in India. Below is the translation from Urdu to English of the poem that is written within my piece.
Speak, your lips are still free.
Speak, your tongue is still yours.
Your strong body is still your own, so
speak, while your soul is still yours.
See how in the blacksmith’s shop,
the iron is red, and in the flames’ heat
all the locks begin to open their mouths;
all the chains disperse.
Speak! This little time is so vast,
before the death of body and tongue.
Speak: truth is alive, even now.
Speak. Say what you must.
Enjoy!

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!

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!

Hey Guys!
I had been planning on starting my own personal cook book for years, but I never got around to it simply because I wanted to do something unique with it. I was set on creating a binder with my recipes and calling it a day, however one day I thought, why not incorporate art into my cook book? Why not think outside of the bubble and make the experience of writing out recipes fun! I love to cook which is why I decided to incorporate the colorful aspect of cooking into my cook book through my vision of art. I will be posting more of my recipes from my cook book on here so stay tuned for more!
Enjoy!

Hi Guys,
Referring back to my previous post regarding canvases and paint, I decided to use paint in my book as well.... I know, i'm getting really bold these days and stepping out of my comfort zone. I was a bit hesitant since my book only contains pen ink, not paint ink- and paint usually curls up sketch paper very easily. However, when I completed my piece and took a look at it from afar, I was content regardless of the paper curling up in my sketch book. I was able to bring my piece to life with a touch of color and I hope to use acrylic paint more in the future.
Enjoy!
