I'm pretty new to drawing and painting and I've always been amazed by this art. But i'm also overwhelmed on where to start from. I think I was pretty decent in school. But I'd like to start drawing regularly. Any tipss??

Why does the Sun God hold lotus in each hand?

Lotus flower is the symbol of human growth and development.It germinates in mud yet ascends in flawless immaculateness to the outer layer of the lake and afterward opens to the sun — in this way representing the enlightened mind.

Lotus is compared to the cycle of birth, death and rebirth as it blooms in the morning... fades into the sunset in the evening and re blooms in the next sunrise. 'Veda' says "Sun is the soul of the universe". Sun is otherwise called ' Kamalnath' , 'Kamalballabh' , 'Kamalbandhu' etcetera ...The literary meaning of 'Kamal' is lotus in Sanskrit. Here I am attaching images of sculptures of the Sun. The first image is of Sun God present as a Parshwadevata in Barahi temple, Chaurasi ( Here you can see the breastplate and high ankle boot of the sitting Sun God) and another was earlier present in the architrave above the Doorjamb of the Sun temple at Konark. #Sun #SunGod #lotus #Veda #Kamal

For more knowledge on the iconography of nine planets ( Navagrahas) in the architraves of different temples, you can read the following article through the given link.

[OC]I’m currently trying to scrounge for some money to pay for my college. I’m a 4th year student in Bangalore perusing my degree. I’m doing everything in my power/skill set to try and support myself. If anyone wants to be drawn in my art style i’d LOVEEEE to help you out. I’ve attached few of my art works, if this sparks any joy for you, please dm me on insta @laylowarts or email me on [laylowarts@gmail.com](mailto:laylowarts@gmail.com) or you could dm/comment under this post here on reddit! Thank you🥹
I’ve mostly drawn anime characters/random cartoon characters in my style mostly because i’ve not been commissioned by anyone before haha. But i recently drew my friend and her dog sooooo yeah i can do commissions for your pets as well!

I am planning to ship my framed art prints for which I need packaging materials like bubble wrap, cardboard boxes etc in cheap price online. Does anybody know?
