WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAT great works recently. I have to admit, I love your portraits - lovely uses of edges.

No crits from me, just stopping by to say keep on working hard and Im enjoying the improvement

lovely progress sid! Good work here with the portrait and still life! And the bone whistle corpsman freaking awesome!

**Shadow Stalker** · March 16th, 2012, 01:01 AM

Awesome work, man! All of the images are creepy, I love it.

Yogesh and Shadowstalker, thanks a lot!

Here's some recent work. A personal painting that I just finished, some freelance pieces, and a portrait I did for livestream.

It's been a while since I updated this thing...

**Shadow Stalker** · June 6th, 2012, 10:51 PM

Damn, dude. These are seriously sick!

Only comment I would make is on the painting of the guy shooting the gun (primarily red). The foreshortening and/or the perspective is making something in the proportions look off. His extended arm, his waist, and the other arm just look... off (for lack of a better word). Just an observation.

Looking good, though, man. Thanks for sharing!

Great work, love everything in this sketchbook! Subscribed!

**Ambiguity** · June 7th, 2012, 01:27 AM

I love that "Rest" piece. Great contrast in characters, and I love the secluded feeling of the environment.

**Andre-Sutherland** · June 7th, 2012, 01:34 AM

Really beautiful work, Subbed

**berniebakari** · June 19th, 2012, 05:37 PM

**Odayga** · June 20th, 2012, 06:58 PM

Beautiful work!! Really loving all your recent stuff! Keep it up!

**Sidharth Chaturvedi** · July 5th, 2012, 05:30 PM

Thanks a lot, everyone! Really appreciate the comments. Shadow Stalker, you're right about the proportions and foreshortening in the red piece... definitely not one of my best. Will keep an eye on that next time!

Here's a self portrait. Haven't used charcoal in too long and was aching to get back to it.

**Bakker** · July 11th, 2012, 05:17 AM

nice works, dude.
I really like the cuban gangster piece. It's really well put together. with the green, blue and skin tones.

Thnx for sharing.

**vetega** · July 11th, 2012, 05:39 AM

the improvement! the improvement!
amazing work.If I may ask,do you work from 100% mind on your illustrations?

**Sidharth Chaturvedi** · July 16th, 2012, 05:38 PM

Thanks, guys!

vetega: I work from imagination as far as possible, especially in the sketch stage, but at a certain point will almost always use some kind of reference to fill in what I don't know, or to correct mistakes. My memory's not completely reliable yet.

Here's some new work.

**Sidharth Chaturvedi** · October 9th, 2012, 02:25 AM

A fairly large update

**Marian Rowling** · October 10th, 2012, 12:52 PM

Hi Sid, what a great update and what a great range of concepts. I think you have some really good ideas and it is hard to crit and pick favourites. I think for me my favourite would have to be the women's head in the med chamber. The weakest piece seems to be the lady sat on the bed in front on the guy she has just shot. Her pose seems very stiff and i don't feel the composition is so strong on this one. I do love the humour in the last piece though and the change up in technique. Hope my comments help in some small well as it is all great stuff to me, thanks for sharing.

**I-Bomb** · October 10th, 2012, 05:01 PM

I love rest out of all of them

**Sillirien** · January 14th, 2013, 03:29 PM

Sidharth Chaturvedi what an awesome artist you are! And your blog is awesome! If you don't mind i'll stay here waiting for updates) there's so much I can learn from you.

**rumpenstiltzkin** · January 14th, 2013, 05:20 PM

**Tea of Doom** · January 15th, 2013, 11:50 AM

Hey Sidharth,

Superb stuff all around. I especially like your characters and traditional oils. Definitely subscribed.

Would love to hear from you in my Skb.

Firstly, thanks a lot for the responses, everyone! Really sorry I haven't replied at all, between the site being down and not getting email notifications I didn't even know anyone had dropped it

. Hopefully with things moving again I'll be updating this more in the future! Here's some work from the last few months, some oil and some digital.
