Maps for Lost Lovers | Post-book doodling
Acrylic, Watercolours, Pen and Ink and sketchpens on Moleskine Large Sketchbook
I like the luxurious and equally disturbing world ‘art’ as such produces. I read, write and try to create art whenever the mood kicks in and it is pretty relieving. Sometimes, something I sketch makes me write, something I write makes me want to pick up a pencil and something I read makes me want to illustrate. It’s a huge web of entanglement really, a good one though.
This random doodling is from one such book I recently finished reading. ‘Maps for Lost Lovers’ by Nadeem Aslam is an interesting story dealing with all things human and earthly which was at some points, out of the world...merely thinking about it. It’s not a perfect piece, this little illustration. It’s far from my best and yet, I’m still going to share it with you all because it was one of the most beautiful things I’ve read in a while which made me want to doodle away, if not anything else.
If you’re a bookworm, this book might be a good go-to. If you’re not one... well, pick up a book. It’s never too late. :)
Love,
