Black and white painting

Iphone Is vary good tool for many things. painting is one of them. like everyone else, I like free apps so looked around and found Sketchbook Iphone app. This app was better than what I expected. Easy to use iphone app and wonderful color combinations, nice brush selections. we can save the our painting anytime and start working next time we open it.

About the painting:

This painting is great because of the light effects. The light is falling on the person through a window. It took about half an hour to paint this painting but this will remain for a long time in my memory. I loved the way I painted the shades in the painting, the light falling, the sharp feature of the guy....actually O love the whole painting....:)

Inception Movie review

Movie review of Inception

Inception review

I watched the first day first show.....I m feeling lucky. Movie Inception is an awesome movie. The most important thing I want to write in the review of inception is keep you mind open while watching the movie. Dont even talk to friends....If u miss some...u may never understand the concept of inception.

Leonardo DiCaprio has the ability (machine) to read ideas from other people's mind while they sleep and dream. I wont tell you the suspense of the movie but I know that u wont move when u watch it.

This movie is going to get Oscar for sure. go watch Inception and Leonardo DiCaprio.

Thanks giving funny cartoon

Thanks Giving Joke

A man in Phoenix calls his son in New York the day before Thanksgiving and says,"I hate to ruin your day, but I have to tell you that your mother and I are divorcing; forty-five years of misery is enough.

"Pop, what are you talking about?" the son screams. We can't stand the sight of each other any longer," the father says. "We're sick of each other, and I'm sick of talking about this, so you call your sister in Chicago and tell her."

Frantic, the son calls his sister, who explodes on the phone. "Like heck they're getting divorced," she shouts, "I'll take care of this,"

She calls Phoenix immediately, and screams at her father, "You are NOT getting divorced. Don't do a single thing until I get there. I'm calling my brother back, and we'll both be there tomorrow. Until then, don't do a thing, DO YOU HEAR ME?" and hangs up.

The old man hangs up his phone and turns to his wife. "Okay," he says, "they're coming for Thanksgiving and paying their own way."

Haha.....So thanksgiving is all about meeting parents and having food together.

Cartoon of School officials busy playing golf

2009-05-15T16:35:00.000-07:00

School Board of Trustees canceling meetings and busy plying golf

This cartoon was on the issue that board of trustees of the school were canceling important meetings. This came up that they said they are very busy. we came up with this idea that they can be very busy on anything like sleeping, watching movies or playing. I decided to draw a cartoon on trustees busy playing golf...

The trustees playing golf and discussing to cancel the next meeting...see the tummy coming out and the smoking cigar...this must have influenced trustees not to cancel important school meetings for students.

PM candidate Manmohan singh election cartoon

2009-05-05T15:47:00.001-07:00

Manmohan singh election cartoon

This cartoon is of Indian Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan singh. I made this cartoon when he became newly elected PM. All the party people were still considering Sonia Gandhi (party president) more influential.
Even after he became prime minister of India still people are running to 10 Janpath (Sonia Gandhi's home) not to him...
This cartoon is still valid in 2009 elections, as opposition consider manmohan as weak PM candidate.

Cartoon Obama Donkey running fast

©Navneet Dogra

I painted this cartoon on the last night before presidential election results. His charisma has already worked in whole USA he was liked everywhere so I was sure that he will win. On the other hand I also draw one cartoon for McCain if he wins.
As Donkey is the symbol of democratic party so I thought of drawing Obama riding donkey at galloping pace. See Joe Biden welcoming with a carrot. McCain was riding Elephant (republican symbol) left far behind in the race, don't miss Sarah Palin trying to push the big elephant... haha

President Obama hope cartoon

2009-02-11T20:23:00.000-08:00

Barack Obama the ray of hope

I found a lot of cartoonists drawing negative, discouraging cartoons like President Obama under burden of hope etc. I hated it. As a cartoonist we should think positive, draw positive so that people who watch our cartoons should not be discouraged.

This is President Barack Obama emerging from a candle and his shining light coming out of darkness...the hope
This is the idea came in to my mind when everybody was expecting everything from president obama. Dont forget to notice his big smile which makes everyone smiling...good luck Mr. Barack Obama.

Obama, Mccain president election cartoon

The election campaign was on its peak, I was thinking about both of them that Obama, Mccain may be unable to sleep in these days or if they sleep they may see each others dreams...here is the result.

The seclude place
Water color scenery

I like nature paintings. This is always fun to paint beautiful places. In this painting I tried to make it fast so that I can see the brush strokes which make this painting alive. I also tried to make this place as beautiful, as ethereal as I can so that everyone will like to visit this place means my painting.

Radha (Hindu deity) the principal consort of krishna (Hindu deity) is believed to be in great platonic love with Krishna. My paintings depicts beauty of Radha, her jewelry, clothings and makeup.
The beauty of these paintings is the mood and environment. These paintings are very green with beautiful flowers, calm, cool, soothing, smiling and very romantic.

This different style of art is known as Kangra art, in which very thin brush is used to paint and is a detailed piece of work, it took 5 days for me to paint this painting.

Dr. Manmohan singh (Prime Minister of India)

This cartoon is of Indian Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan singh. I made this cartoon when he became newly elected PM. All the party people were still considering Sonia Gandhi (party president) more influential.

Ronahldinho Cartoon (The Footballer)

Ronaldinho...wonderful footballer

I was fascinated with his agility and smiling face. So I decided to make him flying above ground and kicking the ball.

Lalu Prasad Yadav (Railway minister of India)

I painted this cartoon many years back when Mr. Lalu was going to give a speech to a big gathering. He went with a big stick (Lathi) on the stage.
He is a good feature to be cartooned but now he has established his name in managing Indian Railway.He made Indian Ralways in to profits which was in debts earlier. well done Mr. Lalu...

Mr. Bush, Mr. McCain and Mr. Obama

I was fascinated by the American election campaign of Barrack Obama and McCain. They were doing everything they can do to put there leg up.
So I thought of Bush who was struggling with market crashing down and he couldn't do anything.
Both McCain and Obama looking at him while Bush is trying to capture market and bragging that they can handle that better... Ha Ha lets see.

Amitabh Bachhan (Famous Indian Actor)

He has given some really wonderful movies. Great actor...

Ghajini new Amir Khan movie Review

2008-12-27T22:53:00.000-08:00

I watched this movie yesterday. I think the movie is good, Amir has done justice with his role, a great actor but...(see the worst part).
Amir khan has short term memory loss problem. He try to remember his enemy Ghajini by taking his photo, writing his name on his body etc. Then the movie goes to background story, He is a big business man (wearing suites, costly cars). Then he fall in love with a gal, who is an ad actress. Then there is a good humorous comedy. Then the brutel part, his gal friend was killed oooo...h painful scene. Amir was also hurt badly and lost his memory but still he want to take revenge of his gal friend.
Best part: Amir khan's acting, New actress Asin... wonderful actress(no nervousness in front of Amir), good music by A.R. Rehman, some good comedy scenes by Asin and Amir,
The audacity of Amir Khan for choosing unconventional topic is adorable.

Worst part: Not one of the best movies by Amir khan, a lot of fighting, brutal,
The fighting scenes are over, the actor alone is handling around 50 guys and reaching the main villain Ghajini. Include jiah khan also.

I give 3.5 out of 5
