Traditional Art in Pencil

I am a huge fan of all things artistic. Specially if they have tradition attached to it. I havent learned any form of it till date, but I do dream of learning some before it is not too late. But to draw something traditional, I thought I need not wait till I get the formal education. So I set forward to do some traditional art in the form I best know - Pencils. So thats how the picture below was born out of my hand.

The original has been beautifully done in Kalamkari by a very talented fellow blogger. You can find this wonderful artist and her fabulous works of traditional Indian art at http://mathu-art-adventure.blogspot.com/
