Portrait: Pencil sketch

I copied this sketch from a book, and really liked how it turned out. I thoroughly enjoyed working on it, especially on her eyes and lips. :D The nose is quite imperfect, though. :(
It took around two days to complete most of it.

Slab pot made of clay

I made this slab pot out of clay a few days ago, and painted it today, using acrylic paints. I really love this combination of orange and green-they always work well together!




Purple and yellow coil pot

I recently made this coil pot out of clay and painted it with acrylic paints once dry, with contrasting yellow and purple colours. Contrasting colours look amazing together, but I think the purple should've been lighter...

Ice-cream made of air-dry clay

My favourite food... ice-cream! I made it out of air-drying clay. It took several thick coats of poster paints to get the colours bright enough. Looks tempting, doesn't it?

Clay pot I made for a child

I recently made this pinch pot out of clay, and painted it for my three-year old cousin. :) He loved it!
I painted the inside blue, the outside light green, with red polka dots on it, and the rim red too.

An attempt at calligraphy

It's not very good, I know, in fact, it's awful, compared to what calligraphy actually is. But there's a first time for everything, you know.
I painted it with water colours, including the text, which I first wrote with a felt-tip pen.
It says 'bismillahirrahmanirahim' in Arabic, which means,
'In the name of Allah, the most Gracious, the most Merciful

Poster on Chess

I made this poster in a workshop that I attended in December 2015. We had to make a poster to promote an activity or hobby which we like. I chose to make a poster on Chess.
