For 20 faces I was looking for a scene that I can illustrate with 20 faces. I do not know why but my mind was searching only Indian scenes such as vegetable market, road side food stalls, mela (fair), wedding etc. Might be because of I was feeling homesick. Being far away from home-city-country my mind was recalling all the things. Moreover having discussions with new friends, their curiosity regarding India made me more firm to choose subject which will represent my country.
I really thought about 'Big Fat Indian Wedding' as a subject of 20 faces. Indian wedding is usually known as big function which last almost 4-5 days with all sub-functions. Wedding is time where all the families come together and celebrate. People spends their lifetime savings on weddings to make it grand. Many funny- serious incidents happen in the wedding. So for this 20 faces project the funny thought came in my mind to represent mentality and different intentions of people who are invited. I really want to represent the mindset of people and I have observed, it is a real fact that people attend wedding with different intentions. For example, Groom thinks about his first night . Where as bride is being emotional to be apart from her parents and feeling nervous for her new married life. Bride's sisters are trying to steal groom's shoes, On the other hand groom's brother are keeping eye on his brother's shoes. Some women attend wedding to flaunt their expensive jewellary, designer wear outfits, footwear etc., and even for gossips. Some men come genuinely to meet their relatives. Young boys come to see hot girls in traditional outfits. Some people come there for free food, gifts, being captured in photos and even to dance. Some people come with business mind. I really want to show what things are going on in their mind in the wedding time. For some people who have arranged the wedding and work as wedding planner, caterers, music bands, photographers etc. they always look for when their duty will end up.
It seems really interesting thought to work on as I can show so much variety. But it is hard too to execute all the thing with correct emotions. It is going to be really tough task for me to create such a crowed scene. I have never ever worked on such type of concept which includes depth, human figures, perspective. My previous projects include mainly flat drawing. This is going to be really experimental project for me.
I referred some artist who has been worked on this subject before. Mario Miranda have really comic style with clean and bold strokes. He really works on facial expressions which helps to create exact humorous mood of the situation. some more work from his website. http://mariodemiranda.com/

Another artist whose work I referred is Chandramohan Kulkarni. He worked on a series of 'Bandwala' (musicians who plays in weddings). He has represented deep thought regarding bandwala. and he showed life of bandwala through his paintings.
