Day 4: Psychedelic

For the prompt Psychedelic, @letteringstylechallenge by @aureliemaron, Rishikesh just fit right in.

A holy town by the river Ganga that emerges from the Himalayas, it is known as the Yoga Capital of the World. People come here to learn and practice different Yoga styles and it is filled with Pilgrims, the Spiritually Curious and Adventurous.

Here I decided to illustrate the hauntingly beautiful ruins of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi Ashram or better known as Beatles Ashram.

Day 3: Ligature

For the prompt Ligature, @letteringstylechallenge by @aureliemaron, I had my mind on Diu and this one facade that I found really pretty there.

Diu is a small island joined to the state of Gujarat with a bridge. With its Portuguese Architecture and influence in the town it seemed only apt to bring that out for this piece.

After a lot of experimentation and wondering why I decided to paint such an elaborate background, I completed this postcard. The initial style of my lettering didn’t work and I had to re-do it to match the background once it was done. Finally simplicity won and something emerged that I was happy to look at. But I’m glad I didn’t abandon it halfway and saw it through.

Day 2: Ribbon

For the prompt Ribbon of @letteringstylechallenge by @aureliemaron, I wanted my piece to be delicate and light. Coastal city of Kochi seemed perfect for it. With its history welcoming many cultures and many types of buildings I was at a loss about what I would pick to represent it. And ocean and the unique chinese fishing nets seemed to be the answer to my vision.

Day 1: Bevel

A bit late to the party but here’s my addition to the first prompt of @letteringstylechallenge Style Challenge by @aureliemaron.

Since travel is a huge part of who I am,I decided to letter some postcards of my Favourite Places in India.

Agra is the first thing that comes to mind whenever anyone wants to travel here. Seeped in Mughal Architecture, I remember reading as a child that true beauty of Taj Mahal is witnessed on a Full Moon Night…
