A write up about Sujit Sukumaran.

I am highlighting it this article here, as it details about his late father. Late Sri E N Sukumaran, was an inspiration to many of his friends and well wishers. Those who all know him never misses his presence, even so many years after his death.

My tributes and prayers to his soul, once again, while posting this message here.

Please also read: An inspiring story

Have a great week-end / week ahead all.

Let’s Try and do it – How to draw dot shaded pictures


How to draw Dot Shaded pictures
By Nadeem Mustafa
Abu Dhabi

Dot shaded pictures is a form of creative drawing which needs lots of patience. One can draw a small or big picture using these technique. However, if you are creating a bigger version, one needs to view it from a distance to enjoy it’s beauty.

What is required to create a dot shaded creation?
———————————————————–

A person, who has the confidence, I will do it attitude, patience and time. Of course, you need the necessary paper and pen, preferably Pilot V5 High-tech 0.5mm.

How to draw?
—————–

First, take a print of the image you want to draw using this technique. If you are taking a color variation of the picture, take it’s print out by adjusting brightness (+10) and dark variation (+10), and dark variation as black.

This will enable you to get the print out with the shades in it.

You will start drawing the picture looking at this shaded print out.

Beginners can use graph styled paper, creating outlines and sketches. You may also use rubber, pencil, and white ink for corrections.

While creating the face, normally, I start from the right eyelids , then eyes, then eyebrows, then nose etc. Then move on to the left eye. Distance between both the eyes should be carefully scaled. It is also very important to measure the distance of the nose.

Following the shades in the picture, the dots can be put, carefully leading from one point to another. Then start the lips. By the time you finish the lips, you will get an idea of the person whom you are trying to complete. If it is not coming out right at this point of time, you may have to start all over again.

This is just to begin with. Try out your first steps of Dot Shaded creations. In case you face any difficulties, you may contact me here, and I will be willing to guide you through with your queries.

Dear participating members and Talent Share Fans,

I am sure you are all noticing that Talent Share blog and Fan page is passing through a period of several innovative changes. As part of a dedicated effort to make it as a “must place of visit online”, I have now introduced the following interesting topics in the Discussion section here:

1. Showcase your blogs, Face Book groups and Fan page:

Do you have an interesting blog, Face Book group or Fan page or web site to list. Do it here for the information and benefit of our fans. Please note to:

– provide the URL of your blog
– A short and sweet three sentence description which describes fully well about your site.
– Any postings on the walls will not remain forever, whereas this will be a permanent advertisement for your site.
– In addition, all the submitted sites, will be categorized and periodically displayed, and added to http://www.indianbloggersnest.blogspot.com

Do participate with interest.

2. Assignments and projects for Talent Share Fans

5. Participating members log

Talent Share Fan page and blog is a systematically maintained activity. It is therefore important to have a certain set of discipline while posting, which will help me organize it easily and efficiently each time. Participants are therefore requested to post each time, the following details along with their creativity:

Name:
Class:
School:
Place:

In addition, any new member, please send a copy of the same information, with the following additional detail to the email : team1dubai@gmail.com

Name:
Class:
School:
Place:
e-mail:
Parent(s) name:
Parent(s) email:
Contact Telephone(s) :

This is to include your details in a permanent database for all the children/members participating in Talent Share activities.

Do participate with commitment.

Click here to visit this section.

6. Competition and Talent participation opportunities

Please do present here any participation or competition you come across so that children can attend and participate.

Do present any available opportunity for our members to inspire them to showcase their talent in bigger venues.

Click here to visit this section.

7. You Have an Idea – then present it here

This is a special section created as a group activity or even as an individual activity to develop the writing skills, in particularly community reporting skills of the children and adults alike.

Do participate with interest.

Click here to visit this section.

8. Your exams and special activity schedule

Las but not the least, your studies and exams are very important. Therefore, it would be interesting if you post here, your exam schedule. It will also give an insight to me for planning, and to slow down things during that period. In addition, it will give all of us a general idea about different schools and their style and duration of exams.

Do present this details for our overall benefit.

Click here to visit this section.

9. Please note that the theme for this month is “Rain, winter and Burj Khalifa”. Plans are in place to present a complete collection of the presented work to respectable groups/authorities to honor the creativity. So, please make sure your work (painting, drawing, poems, short stories etc…) are there in this exclusive presentation.

Do participate with interest.

10. I believe that participation of members with interest is more important than mere count on the membership meter. Talent Share is a Fan page created to exhibit Creativity. And therefore, it is my intention to keep it’s wall with only creative presentation. All fans are kindly requested to not post any messages on it’s wall. Please make it a place for presenting creative presentations.

Do participate with interest.

11. As you all know, Talent Share does not remain a web based activity. I make sure, the concept is reaching schools here and around. It is done at my own pace and convenience and currently the concept is undergoing formal registration process and the activities happening here and the blog is monitored by authorities responsible for it. This is also the reason for the increased awareness of it through radio and the press.

12. Please do make it a point to visit and encourage each of the participants. Your guidance and comments are injections of inspirations for them to come back and present a more beautiful poem or poetry.

Thanking all of you in advance for joining Talent Share as a Fan. Please do invite any child or creative person, who you feel will benefit from this initiative.

Sincere regards,

Ramesh Menon
