This is Himal, a very good friend of mine. He is an inspiration to me, he is a good samaritan. He is a sketch artist as well, and likes to draw inspiration from real life people, mostly from around him. So here you go buddy.
I know I am really inconsistent with my uploads. No story there, I am just lazy.
Anyways, I am starting on a new project. I was going through my coffee table book for reference. Yupp! got one with all my sketches laminated and binded together. And thats how I came across this one.
I cannot believe it was in 2012, when I finished this sketch. Almost two years! who knew - seems like yesterday when I put those strokes.
This is one of my first real life portrait. Usually I tend to skew reality a bit, to make it adjust to my perspective, with this - I am sticking to reality as much as possible. I used normal HB for most parts of the sketch, and 2B for darker areas, using the kneading eraser to pick up the light.
The reference photo was taken almost a decade back in 2004. It was when Mathieu Perrot, had come to Kathmandu for first, or maybe it was second time. He had gone maniacal with his camera. Taking snaps of everything. This was taken in Parmeshwor's (another good friend of mine) laundry shop called "Clean Wash Laundry Service" in Z-Street, Thamel.
I still look at those photos, and wonder about the days, day-dreaming. The care-lessness in air. The togetherness. Gosh!
Should not continue with the feel. Well! what do you think peeps? Comment and let me know.

मैले नयाँ चित्र शुरु गरेको छु। त्यसको लागी अध्ययन गर्ने क्रममा म आफ्नो कफी टेबल एल्बम सँग्रह पल्टाउदैँ थिएँ। यो चित्र भेँटे। यता अप्लोड नगरेको पनि धेरै भएको थियो अनि अहिले यहाँ छु।
कहिले अचम्म लाग्छ, हिजो बनाएको झैँ लाग्छ, समयले फड्को मारी सकेको हुँदो रहेछ। यो पनि त्यस्तै। १२ सालमा बनाएछु, दुई बर्ष कता गयो? हिजैमात्र कोर्या जसतो लाग्छ।
यो हिमालको चित्र हो। हिमाल मेरो राम्रो वाल्याकालको साथीमात्र नभई मेरोलागी प्रेरणापनि हो। मेरो मानवतावादी साथी। उपनि चित्र कोर्छ। धेरै स, आफ्नै वरीपरीको साथीहरुको। तिम्रोलागी हिमाल।
यो चित्र मेरो पहिलो फोटो चित्रहरुमा पर्छ। धेरै त म चित्र बनाउँदा, आफ्नो दृष्टिकोणले कोर्छु, त्यसो गर्दा होकी होकी जसतो देखिन्छ, तर ठ्याक्कै औँला गाडेर ठम्मयाउन भने सकिन्न। तर, यो चित्रभने सकेसम्म ठ्याक्कै बनाउन खोजेको छु। मैले यो एचबी पेन्सिलले बनाएको हुँ, छाँयापर्ने ठाउँमा चाहिँ २बी पेन्सिल प्रयोग गरेँ र मुछ्न मिल्ने रबरले उजेलो ताने।
यो फोटोचाहिँ, मात्थिउको नेपाल भ्रमण - पहिलोकी दोस्रो सम्झना छैन, को बेला जेड-स्ट्रीट, ठमेलमा परमेश्वर, मेरो अर्को राम्रो साथीको पसलमा २००४ सालमा खिचेको हो। मात्थिउ क्यामरा हातमा लिएर पागल भा'को थियो, जेपनि खिच्ने, अनि हामीपनि के कम पोज दिई हाल्यो। अझैपनि कहिलेकाहिँ ती फोटाहरु हेर्छु, अनि टोलाउँछु, ती हाउडे दिनहरु सम्झन्छु।
भैगयो, फेरी धेरै सोचे पीडामात्र हुन्छ। अनि, वन्धुहरु कस्तो लाग्यो त चित्र, यसो कमेन्ट हानम है।
