DAY 1: RINGS

Being a foodie, I have a sweet tooth for donuts (doughnuts). And the only ring that I'll ever want would be them. So I drew a panda with its tongue outside to show the craving for that donuts. Also I have to hide it from my mother due to cavities so my panda is also peeking from behind.

DAY 2: POETRY

Besides being a foodie, I also associate myself with poetry. I believe that it is a beautiful way to express your thoughts. So I write poems depending on my mood but mostly when I am upset. Also I like to draw little illustrations with them.

DAY 3: ATHELETE

Besides, all these things I am a state level volleyball player and being on the field is one of the things I miss the most about school.

DAY 4: FEMINIST

The scene that I drew is from a very famous Netflix series, 'Money Heist' and she is my favourite character as she was very bold with a voice to challenge the authority. I somehow relate to her and wish to be as courageous as this character.

DAY 5: CHAI LOVER

The only thing that has been constant in my life all these years is a cup of warm tea. Be it cold winter morning or the hot summer afternoon, tea is something that I can have all day.

So I decided to paint it on pieces of newspaper as these two always go together, atleast in my case it does.

DAY 6: RAJASTHANI

Coming from a small village in sawai madhopur, Rajasthan, I take pride in being a marwari. The reason why I drew this is because it reminds me of my childhood. When I was 8 years old, I used to fetch water from our village well as there were no pipelines. I remember that we had a small matki just for me so that I can handle that much weight on my head.

DAY 7: BINGE-WATCHER

DAY 8: GARDENER

It has been 15 years since we bought our home with a little garden in it and since then I and my father would grow vegetables in it. We planted a tomato plant about few months back and what's most interesting about this is that there are a lot of small tomatoes turning red so quickly and they look like cherries.

DAY 9: Chef

Growing up I was and still am such a foodie and I remember that my mother would tell me that I can eat whatever I want but I would have to cook it myself. So, I learned cooking and today I decided to make samosas. Also they were yummy.

DAY 10: BAKER

Besides being a cook, I sometimes like to bake too (even though that's not my area). So, it was my brother's birthday and to surprise him I tried baking a cake for him using oreo biscuits (his favourite).

DAY 11: MEHANDI

I also know how to apply henna on hands because I love applying mehandi. These design were made by me only on my hand during a family function.

Also, all of these images were clicked on snapchat as I use that a lot

DAY 12: DOG LOVER

Me and my best friend found this little puppy in our street and since it was very cold, we decided to give give this 'cute hooman' shelter in our home for a few days until he's ready to be on his own. We fed him and even prepared a little bed for him to sleep.

DAY 13: RAIN AND RAINBOW

I went to meet my friend and since it was raining, I got to see this beautiful rainbow.

DAY 14: BLUE SKIES

It is very rare to see clear blue skies in winters and today was that day. I have always loved sitting under the sky and clicking their pictures.

DAY 15: HANGOUT WITH FRIENDS

It was my friend's birthday so we went to 'BAR PALLADIO' in Jaipur only. Ever since I saw 'mismatched' on Netflix, I wanted to go there not because it was in a series but because of its beautiful interior.

The whole Bar is electric blue in color and inspired by Persian architecture.

DAY 16: MANDALA ART

Making details and doing intricate work is my favourite thing to do. So today I decided to make a Mandala.

I first gave a 'wash effect' in the background using watercolors and then with the help of pen drew patterns. I divided the circle into equal parts so that the mandala would be geometrical.

DAY 17: MORE MANDALA

I made one more mandala today. This time it was without any background color.

(These images were clicked on Instagram)

DAY 18: GAITOR KI CHHATRIYA

Today I went to visit one of best examples of chhatris, 'Gaitor ki Chhatriya' in Jaipur. It was the royal crematorium for the majestic rulers of Rajasthan. The most unique feature is the intricate Rajasthani carving carving.

As an admirer of historical monuments, this place was mesmerizing for me.

DAY 19: PATRIKA GATE

Mornings are beautiful in Jaipur and it was after such a long time, I visited this place that too early morning. Patrika Gate is the ninth gate of this walled city.

After a little history research I got to know that the number 9 is of crucial significance as it has very important role in vaastu shastra (nine planets). Even the dimensions of the whole architecture are multiples of nine only

DAY 20: VECTOR MAP

Now the fun part was on a pause for a while as I had to attend the extra classes. Today was the class for vector map and my whole day was spent on making this only.

This was my final outcome.

DAY 21: MAKING JALIS

As I said earlier also, doing intricate work is my favourite and since I was attending the extra classes, I made two jalis for my M2M project.

DAY 22: CARICATURE

I tried making a caricature in 5 minutes only.

DAY 23: POLYMER CLAY

I made an air-dry polymer clay using cornflour and fevicol and decided to decorate a mirror. The outcome turned out to be very pretty but my cousin took it with her as she really liked it.

DAY 24: CHARCOAL SKETCH

Made another quick sketch using charcoal pencils. I was feeling a little low and hence wanted to make something expressing it in a aesthetic manner.

DAY 25: CHRISTMAS

My dad brought a chocolate house and some Santa toys just a day before Christmas from Goa. The snowman was however, bought by my sister. My family never really celebrated Christmas but since we had our relatives at home, we decided to celebrate it.

DAY 26: A DAY BEFORE SUBMISSION

Since I joined late, I was given an extension for FA submissions and this was me a day before that, panicking in my own way.

DAY 27: UDAIPUR

After my submissions were done, I went on a road trip to Udaipur with my family. The most beautiful thing about this 'city of lakes'. This picture is of LAKE PICHOLA.
