Kolavai Lake Chengalpattu
A painting of Kolavai Lake, Chengalpattu, using Krita with my XP-Pen Artist 10s. Yet another landscape painting in Krita. I downloaded Krita 5 beta 2 to try out some of its new features.

Landscape painting – Temple tank
After a few portraits, I usually feel the need for something different. So here it is – temple tank. Painted in Krita with my XP-Pen Artist 10s.

Adobe Fresco is a decent ipad painting app with enough free features and good brushes to get along. Yes, you can also export as PSD which is very useful. It does use cloud storage though , so if…

Sivaji Ganesan cartoon caricature
After a long time I’ve revived my artwork. This one is a fun caricature of veteran actor late Sivaji Ganesan created on my iPad with the Autodesk Sketchbook app. Yes, I do feel a bit rusty after such a long gap. Also Sketchbook on the iPad is not nearly as good or feature complete as…
