Drawing of Shankar Bhagwan
Made by Shivani Dave
Hello! My name is Shivani and I am a 15 year old living in Toronto, Canada. I stopped drawing for a long time because I was struggling to fight the deadlines of assignments for school. I felt like I was stuck in an endless cycle of assignments and I felt like I was losing myself. I dropped a lot of hobbies, and after I finished school, I was inspired to draw again. I drew this photo of one of my favorite bhagwan, Shankar Bhagwan. I tried to draw him in the way I felt during these past few weeks, serious, fearful and lost. In his eyes, I tried to show hopelessness because it is something that I have felt for such a long time. I was never good with drawing people due to the complex anatomy of the face, but whenever I would draw my bhagwans, it would all fit together. Drawing Shankar Bhagwan helped me become more confident in my drawing and reminded me that I draw because I love to do it. Without these roots of my heritage, I don't know how I would cope with myself and my hobbies!
