Gangai Konda Cholapuram


I had tried sketching a temple but was never satisfied with the output. I knew that I was either focusing too much on details or I was missing my perspective. It was friday night and we hit two movies in a row. Loopers , Sinister. The first being a action movie worth for its money and latter was a ghost movie which had a good start but lost its touch as it proceeded to a crappy climax. I reached home by 3 a.m and somehow felt that the serene silence in the room was ideal for me to do a quick sketch . I prepared a hot tea, had my laptop in place for listening to folk songs. I sat down and searched "tamilnadu temples" in flickr. Somehow I felt "Gangi konda cholapuram" temple would fit aptly, picked it, started to sketch it straight away. Its a 45 min sketch and felt very satisfied from its output. There is not much details in it but the dimensional touch adds beauty to the sketch . Should try to do more complicated temple sketch next time. Probably , meenakshi temple :)
