DRAWN,NOT GENERATED.

Before any of it becomes an interface, a framework or a model, it is a line made by hand. These are studies from the sketchbooks — faces, mostly, drawn for the sake of looking properly at something.

01COLOURED PENCIL ON PAPER

TWO FACES, CLOSE

A man and a woman leaning towards each other in profile. Graphite outlines carry the drawing; colour is held back for the clothing — a teal shirt, a blouse worked in pink, blue and yellow.

02GRAPHITE IN A SKETCHBOOK

PORTRAIT, JHUMKA AND BINDI

A young woman, shoulders turned slightly, wearing a bindi and a bell-shaped jhumka earring. The page came out of a spiral-bound sketchbook, so the drawing keeps the proportions of a page rather than a finished sheet.

03GRAPHITE ON PAPER

PORTRAIT, FRINGED NECKLACE

A smiling woman with a long wave of hair swept across one eye, wearing a wide fringed bib necklace. The lower half of the page is left as blank paper.
