Color Pencils Drawing: Lord Krishna

11:20 PM - Posted by FitFoodieMegha - 11 comments

Base: Sketch Paper.
Made Using: Color Pencils.
Topic: Lord Krishna is another of the most commonly worshiped deities in the Hindu faith. He is considered to be the eighth avatar of Lord Vishnu. There are many stories behind why he is of blue color. Some says that Krishna killed a five headed snake, that time he had taken all the poison of the snake. Thereafter his skin became blue due to the poison effect and some says that since he is the preserver of the world and creator has given most of the blue to the nature. So, his association with nature gives him this color.
Who knows the truth, but the fact is this blue color makes him different! :)

I always wondered about the blue skin, Megha! Thanks so much for explaining the origins. I also love the red lotus flower designs to the costume he is wearing. I love visiting here, always an insight to your culture!

Hi Megha, he looks very divine.. more so in the Kerala mural style. The blue and orange/red contrast is eye catching!
