My Sleeping Beauty
I wasn’t as lucky as DiCaprio in the movie Titanic to have a beautiful Kate model for me in nude. Above is my dabbling at pencil sketch. And yes, no one posed for me, all figment of my imagination.
***
I wanted to have it scanned, but the scanner wasn’t working, so I had to resort to a digital camera, hence the dimness. The sketch was done on A4 8.5”X1″ paper.

A friend asked me, but why nude, and always a woman? A simple, but at the same time a very profound question. Our disposition with nudity is quite a mystery from the perspective of aesthetic as much as carnal. May be it is the primal and pristine form of art—unaltered. Woman, may be she exalts desire, lust, warmth, compassion—concoct of mystery into an art form.

Let’s hear, what you have to say.
I Am The Maitreya 
hehehe remember the debate between art and porn that dau and I had once a long time ago in good old KTM? so better if I keep my trap shut…. let’s see what others have to say!
Appears that you are a great fan of porn movies. hehe I too love it. But for me double X rated movies are okay. Triple ones suck.
Gol’s watch Afro Samurai in Spike TV. I think you;ll enjoy it. I watched an episode yesterday, has everything from a story plot, blood, sex, gore (not Al) and some more. You’ll find more infor at http://www.afrosamurai.com/.
One of my friend sang “Nudity is not a crime!!”
Well It depends on the perspective of a person how he takes the nudity as!
U are born nude innit??!! Nudity itself is ur first form of existence,and soon after we ourself learn to be out of nudity and sort of label nudity as a crime!For me nudity is just an another form of art, to represnt a true self of a person!!
P.S.-Golayji,Can you please put the camera in near picture mode( Phool jasto dekhine button ma click gare hunchha ke re) and post the pic again, (It kinda seem deem and I wanted to see clear view of it)!!! U not only seem to be a great writer but also a great artist!!..:)
Gols,
nice art! and glad to hear such a decent interpretation of nudity!!!
yes why always women??? its simple because men aren’t that pretty.(no offense!) Unlike man,a woman represents different qualities of a being-
she is beautiful,is vulnerable,is emotional,is sensitive, is bold, is selfless, is tender and loving,is wild, is witty and is everything. However, man manages to adhere to his very neutral persona.
Also, a woman has a, exquisite art of revealing herself- be it with words,smiles, laughter or tears; every gesture is a disclosure.
Well, please excuse me if you think what I said is merely an exaggeration.. I am not trying to prove anything here! dont misunderstand me!
– just trying to reason Golay’s point.
Actually the very existence of mankind gratifies me and makes me appreciative of everything around me.
