Backbenchers Pvt Ltd.
Following is the Ms-paint reproduction of the last page of my class note book..
Can't you see shades of MF Hussain in this??
For me, creativity is at it's peak whenever I am at the back-bench and when the teacher's not noticing.. a sudden outburst of boredom manifests itself into pics.... There is a whole bunch of more pics, I could only transfer some into MS-paint, obviously because there is no substitute for the pen...
What do I draw??
Hmm, I have a special love for the things of nature depicted in the pic, as I have been drawing them since childhood and I don't know anything else..
I don't claim to be a great artist..
But like great artists, I start off with some idea in mind and end up with a totally different picture.. Its called adaptation ppl..
e.g. the two animals in the right side of the pic..
- the left one I started with the intention of making a dog, but ended up with a hybrid of a lamb and some alien
- the other one was supposed to be a horse, but now I guess it is a creature from those Spielberg movies..
But what the heck, I can draw what I want.. Can 90% of the world understand those so called great paintings, ha???
Now you could be thinking, " Kitna Vella(idle) hai. Ek to ajeeb si drawing banata hai and he has the time to transfer it to MS-paint??"
Another thing I noticed of back benchers... Of the backbencher Notebooks I surveyed, 83% had the picture of a mountain, sun, trees, birds, and all those stuff drawn in the last page.. The rest 17% were those who drew well..
Are you part of the 83%??

thats the advantage of being in college, you can sit wherever you want if you occupy that place first

For me, nothing is more interesting than drawing the portrait of the prof himself.. ! It works fine strategically also as u keep on looking at him :)
@ joie

@ THINK TANK
neither is your post getting updated in mine... so if u write something,, do inform me also
Hehe I belong to the 17 %. Further even amongst those, I belong to a very rare breed. I used to DRAW sitting on the FIRST BENCH and LISTEN TO THE LECTURES!!!
In fact best concentration came when I was not trying hard to concentrate on the lectures and insted just listened to them mindlessly while my hand was sweeping random lines on my notebook. Then like you said, I adapted. I just tried to figure out what the lines looked like and continued in that direction!!
When profs realised I was actually listening, they stopped bothering with my extra-curricular activities in class!
I was thinking of posting camera shots of my class drawings just few days back. Maybe will.
you my friend are an artist in hiding!! :D
