If any of you has been to Jaipur and have really done the research, you might have come across the adventure "balloon safari". It's one of the exclusive things that Jaipur offer. And as far as I know, It's the only balloon safari company in the whole of Rajasthan.
The very company also has a really interesting cafe by the same name as the safari company and that is "Skywaltz". They were launching their new lounge space and hence needed a graffiti done on one of the walls.
Since it was a lounge space, they wanted to keep it black for the obvious reasons for creating a dark ambiance. And the graffiti idea was to make something out of the space.
The finalized idea was to have an astronaut, smoking up in space and spooking in the earth through a window. Taking a few reference images from the net, I combined and created the idea.
This is how it looked like...
The black background was originally white and is made of MDF. It took me around 3-4 hours to paint the background black and another 4-5 hours to sketch the whole thing out there. It was an easy sketch and would hardly take an hour or max two but then, taking the right point, deciding the proportion takes all of the time when you are a beginner.
I wish I had taken some "before pictures of the space.
I always keep the base paint and the drafting part for the first day and mostly start painting it the second day. I will be sharing further progress in my upcoming post.
till then, let me know, what are your views on this one up to this mark :)
