Previous Artwork

I was recently going through my old art-pads, and I realized that I used to be a lot better in art than I am right now. Here are some of  the pictures I liked, so I'm sharing them here. I drew\ painted them sometime in September 2013.
Click on each pictures to see it in full screen mode. Enjoy!
A scene of a forest I painted.
A beach and a Coconut tree I painted.
A Coconut tree and a bench. I drew this using a 
black felt pen and coloured in it with oil pastels.
A lamp post. I sketched it in a park, and painted it at home.

    Omg. September 2013? Okay, let me just tell you something. You were tons better than I was then. Honestly, these are amazing, Fatima!! 8D I LOVE how you did the third one! I can't draw coconut trees like that even now! :O (The one I did in the picture of Tanya is garbage compared to yours!) The beach and forest scenes are really beautiful (and vibrant!). And the lamp post is really artistic - you've drawn the design of it really well! :D There's also a tip when drawing landscapes (I thought you might find this useful)... you know when you look really far into the distance, everything seems to fade slightly? Well, in art, people tend to colour the further parts of the landscape in a lighter colour and the closest parts in a darker colour. Maybe you've already heard of this, but if not, I just thought you might like to try it out. It's your choice of course though. :) Anyway, I'd love to see more of your artwork - you're a natural! (I know this comment is so long, but I just thought I needed to tell you how awesome these are! :3)

      Well, yes, thanks a lot! (I was pretty surprised myself when I saw these! I guess I used to draw more often back then, so I was good at it. Maybe I should draw more often..) Oh no, please don't compare your art with mine, since yours is so awesome! I really liked the one you did in Tanya, with the textures and shadows. Omg, thanks so much! I just love your comments. :) Thanks for the tip; I'll try it out it in my next artwork! Oh thanks a lot! And thanks fr the long comment; I always love reading your comments! :D (Even if I can't write a reply as long as yours!)

      You're really welcome! Yeah, you should! They say that if you keep practising at something (anything), you can be a master of it whoever you are (so I try my best to do at least a little every day :D). Well so is yours! But thanks! <3 Aw thanks! I still like the style of yours better though. XD You're welcome - and likewise! No problem. Haha, well I have a habit of making really lengthy replies and I can't help it. XD I thought I needed to tell you how great these were too!

      Yes, that's true. Oh, so you practice drawing daily? That's good, you know, since you're already so good at art, and each time you post something, it's better than before. :D Well thanks! I know it's your habit! XD

      :D Yeah! It doesn't have to be something big... just a couple of doodles in a separate art book of mine even... and sometimes I just practise drawing hands or eyes. XD Thank you! I'm so glad you think so. <3 Your art is really improving too, you know! Haha yeah! XD

    Hey, you were great then! But you're great now, too. What I noticed in all these drawings was that you've made sceneries and things, not people. you've painted most of them too(and I'd like to add, very neatly!). Maybe you're better at these things. Perhaps you should try art more often-I still insist you are (and were) great!

Changes I would like to see in my country five years ahead

By
Hi readers! Here's another one of those essays that I mentioned I'd be sharing in here. This one was written on 12th April, 2016. The topic is mentioned below. Comments, feedback, and suggestions are very welcome! :) What changes would you like to see take place in your country in the next five years? Everything has some space for improvement, to strive to make it better, if not perfect. There are many changes that I would like to see take place in my homeland for it to improve. Firstly, I would like to see my country cleaner. The garbage disposal system of many places in Sindh, especially Karachi, which is the provincial capital, needs to be regenerated. The bio-degradable waste needs to be sorted and tackled accordingly, and the recyclable waste recycled. This change would not only be a relief to the common people, but also improve the country’s outlook. Secondly, I would like to see Pakistan greener than it already is. Although the province of Punjab, and Kash

Short Story~The Storm

By
Here is a story that I wrote recently on a topic of a past O level paper. Please keep in mind while reading it that this is the third draft  of the story. Feedback would be taken seriously and appreciated. An instantaneous splash of water landing on the deck woke up the sailor. He leapt out of bed and hurried up to the deck, hoping that all was well. The situation was worse than he had anticipated. It was raining cats and dogs, accompanied by a very strong gale. The roar of thunder indicated the beginning of a storm. The bottom of the ship was already flooded about six inches deep with water and its level was increasing with the rain. The sailor quickly rang the siren for help and grabbed some buckets. Sleepy-eyed men came out of their cabins to help and he directed them towards the flooded area, where he handed out buckets and yelled out instructions. His voice was barely audible over the heavy rain and thunder, but they seemed to understand. They went to work at once, fill

Poetry: To Dream

By
Hey there! I wrote a poem. This one took a lot more thought and effort than most of my poems - which are usually spontaneous, raw and emotional - that I don't post anywhere. I thought a lot about this idea and took almost a week to complete it. I also had to cut out several words, rearrange certain stanzas, and rewrite it a couple of times. I'm quite pleased with the result though - I think this is the best piece of poetry I've managed to write so far.  I would appreciate some feedback on it, if you have any, as I know this is far from perfect. Also, let me know if you have any suggestions for what kind of poetry I might write next. I could do with some new ideas. Here's the poem now: It is easy to dream When the eyes are closed -  When the mind is numb.  When there is no expectation Of life or living -  When there is no burden to carry.  But when the eyes are open -  And the mind can see What the universe has to offer. When the heart can feel,
