Everyone draws an eye
May 23rd
everyone draws an eye
the figures and reflections
gleam and reflect
cause havoc
and recline
so did i
with hands shaking
calling on pleasures
of the mind
This work i want to dedicate to =RTyson 
, a wonderful person and an extraordinary artist of the black&white realms. She carries in herself what i lack… patience… she spends amazingly long hours on her works and i just run through them. The wait has its own pleasure, the pace has its own fun. I wish she stays in her element forever and keeps feeding our eyes.
AFTERTHOUGHT: your eyes are burning holes through me
Wall-e Pencil Drawing
May 16th
mechanics of my heart
are hard to decode
it rattles and grinds
creating non-existing sounds
my eyes drain
devoid of emotions
moving around aimlessly
i paint an image of my pain
…somehow the character wall-e is a melancholic figure to me… the images i have seen, he seems so devoid of hope, so sad and pessimistic. I know nothing of the movie yet, but i concocted my own myth that he is sad due to the hopelessness of humans and the world around him.. like i get sometimes.. an inconvenient truth…
`Nico1 said some nice words to me today… and his words are like the light of hope in the wasteland for wall-e… maybe he is also looking for some people like Nico… to give him comfort from the pessimism of life. We all need some comforting words… and comforting souls. Some souls who are not corrupted by the politics of humanity. This work simply goes to `Nico1 im supposed to draw an Alpha Romeo Spider for you nico… havent had time for that, but until then.. accept this.
Dodge Charger Pencil Drawing
May 15th
sweet decline
the sadness of your smile
i care not to see
whatever lies within me
you look away
i bury myself deep
these hoards of passion
this sadness is me
machine, man and gasoline
heart burning at slow speed
have not, never seen
no believe in my belief
Note: Some of my friends are getting confused about these lines i wrote above. Well actually there is a fourth and concluding stanza to this song… but i didnt post it here. I have been sending it to the friends who are faving it as an appreciation. So dont be confused, you didnt fave a poem, its just me appreciating in my own way.
About the Car: The model that you see here is the 1971 R/T version of the Charger. Since its birth in 1964, Charger was updated in exteriors almost every year. In the base model, it had a small grill with double round headlights. Soon enough the round headlights were taken out and it was given a wide grill to almost no headlights in Hemi version. Actually these were longitudinal headlights designed by Harvey J. Winn.
The R/T ‘71 Charger didnt sell well due to high insurance rates. It was completely restyled with a new split grille and more rounded “fuselage” bodystyle. Hidden headlights were no longer standard, they were now optional. A rear spoiler and a “Ramcharger” hood made the option lists for the first time. A special scoop was mounted in the hood, directly above the air cleaner. Charger still boasts of having an individual styling and has its name as one of the most aesthetically pleasing muscle car.
Dedicated to *anubis46 
, to his art and to his humor and to his friendliness. He is almost of my father’s age but i talk to him like dudes and he always hits me back with equal force… we share passion for automobiles and especially bikes. As for his art… im not worthy enough of defining it or elaborating on it. You have to see it to believe it.. its unusual and the ordinary at the same time. Those machines of wonder..!!
Subaru Rally Pencil Portrait

Artist’s Comments
i drive
in the dirt
of my mind
i have left behind
the migraine hours
the preparation art
never more i will know
i glide
dirt attacks
from behind
horizon expanding
numerous suns shine
glimmer in my rearview
vengeful road expands time
Note:The song you read above has a final and concluding stanza which i havent written here. if you will fave this work, i will send it across in my thanks note to you. Just my way of appreciating your time.
I saw this work here by 
longtime back and always had it at the back of my mind to draw it in pencils. Some months back i took his permission to draw it and he happily accepted. I drew it that very weekend, but couldnt scan it for a longtime. Finally she is up and is dedicated rightfully to ~franzart
About the car:Franzart took this snapshot from the GT4. But im guessing that this is the Subaru Impreza WRC 2005. With six World Rally Championship titles and 44 outright rally wins in the past 12 seasons, the Impreza had been the defining car in Subaru’s elevation from road car manufacturer to legend in world rallying. From its inception in 1993, the Impreza had provided a sensory assault on motorsport fans across the globe. Featuring a wider track, revised styling, composite body panels and a host of engine and suspension enhancements, the Impreza WRC2005 was the ultimate development of a rally car and represented a landmark in the collaboration between engineering and design teams in the UK and Japan from Subaru.
Built to take full advantage of the FIA’s revised world rally car dimensions, the Impreza WRC2005 bodyshell was wider than its predecessor by 30mm, which gave it a slightly more aggressive look in the front and rear wheel arches. Another fresh feature of the exterior styling was the carefully sculpted wheel arches, penned by the Japanese stylists, which help balance the increased track with the design of the front and rear bodywork. As well as being stiffer than the WRC2004, the bodyshell of the Impreza WRC2005 featured more composite panels than any of its predecessors. These included new front and rear wheel arches, in addition to the front and rear bumpers. At the front end, the layout of the radiator and turbo intercooler followed the same basic concept as before, but had been further refined. The re-styled front bumper incorporated lessons learned over the last 12 months and efficiently managed the flow of air around the front of the car and through the cooling systems.
Personally, i place Subaru Impreza only after Mitsubishi Lancer Evo series. I really hope to draw them as well.
The Dark Knight – Joker Pencil Drawing
May 13th
boredum kills and thrives
a painted veil carrying
tongue sharp knives
never understood
never followed the signs
defined walls
of a chaotic heart
seriousness calls
suffer the madness
suffer the crazy dolls
define a smile
breakdown the charade
second attempt, another try
always traumatic
always trying not to cry
Also check out The Dark Knight’s Bike here
=princepal showed me `adonihs’s work [link] on friday. My PC was blown up on thursday, so i didnt have anything to do. So after 6-7 months i picked up my pencils again and decided to sketch joker, taking `adonihs’s work as reference.
`adonihs has done an immaculate portrait and so, this work is dedicated to his art.

Lamborghini Miura Vexel Digital Drawing
May 11th
Added a background behind the car as some of friends suggested that white bg was looking too bland. So here it is.
About the Car: Most of us know Lamborghini for their Gallardos and Diablos, but they also produced this beauty called Miura back in 1966. The specialty of the design was its mid engined placement. Miura’s design was responsible for making the mid-engined layout “de rigueur” among two-seater high performance supercars.
The car that you see here is the 2006 Miura concept as designed by the new Lamborghini chief, Walter de’Silva, and commemorates the 1966 introduction of the original Miura in Geneva. Too bad that the Lamborghini president and CEO Stephan Winkelmann has admitted that this concept will never see the light of the day as, “The Miura was a celebration of our history, but Lamborghini is about the future. Retro design is not what we are here for. So we won’t do the Miura.”
About the Artwork: My first perspective vexel art. So far i was doing the rear sides only, now im going to launch into perspective drawings as well. Lets see how they turn out.
Dedication: Wanted to dedicate one of my works to 
~immortalwolfhunter. Ambrose is just too good with his vexel art and his gallery is an amazing mix of muscle cars, supercars and bikes… just the stuff to give me goosbumps…
AFTERTHOUGHT: Im busy doing nothing, and i dont know when to stop.

Gurdas Maan Pencil Portrait
May 9th
bachpan chala gaya
jawani chali gayi
jindagi di kimti nishani chali gayi.
TRANS:
childhood has passed
so has youth,
and so has left the essence of life.
—– from “Pind Diyan Galian” by Gurdaas Maan
Gurdas Maan is the living legend of Punjabi Music. He is worshipped for his skill and his songs, especially because they contain the best of wisdom. Im a huge fan myself. There is a lot i can tell about him but it will be out of refernce here on DA. Just that the instrument he is holding is called “Daffli”.
For the first time i wont be dedicating this work to anyone on devaintart. But off DA i want this work to be taken as my appreciation for my culture, my home and my roots. This one goes to Punjab and all the Punjabis worldwide..
AFTERTHOUGHT: Bee Geez
Aamir Khan Pencil Portrait
May 8th
some rich men came and raped the land,
nobody caught ‘em
put up a bunch of ugly boxes, and Jesus,
people bought ‘em
and they called it paradise
the place to be
they watched the hazy sun, sinking in the sea
you can leave it all behind
and sail to Lahaina
just like the missionaries did, so many years ago
they even brought a neon sign: “Jesus is coming”
brought the white man’s burden down
brought the white man’s reign
—–from “The Last Resort” by THE EAGLES
Aamir khan in the character of Mangal Pandey from the movie by the same name. The movie was based on the true story of this Indian patriot’s struggle against the British Empire. Here he stands in front of a mortar, ready to be blown away, but instead of kneeling in front of the Empire, he shouts “Jai Hind”… the Indian warcry for valor and his love for his country.
Aamir is the only mainstream actor i admire in Indian Cinema, perhaps because he is not scared to do things other actors will never do. Acting flows in his veins and talent overflows in his heart. Once i look upto the west and say “Oh yes, we have a match for you, … in fact we have a better one this time.”
Dedicated to a brilliant artist and friend =toonrama 
. His name fools one… he is not about toons at all… he provides more then that… and i admire his friendly spirit…
AFTERTHOUGHT: Ford Willy
