My first IPL Cartoon


By Mrigank Shekhar - Posted on 21 May 2008

After years of comtemplating, starting, doing something, then forgetting, I am back to cartooning. Back would mean starting off, not that I am an expert or anything. In my first IPL Cricket cartoon, I take a dig  at the Kolkata Knight Riders who lost against the Rajasthan Royals and are almost out of the IPL.

The latest cartoon is on the Gilchrist Tendulkar controversy

My next cartoon is about the Ganguly Interview, Umpire Review SystemHarbhajan slapping Sreesanth , Romesh Powar InterviewCharu Sharma enacting Gabbar Singh ,Sachin getting ready for next IPL , Indian Cricketer asking cheerleader out on a date , T20 Cartoon: Miss-bah 5 runs , A Tale of Two Cities , Harbhajan performs the Vanishing Act , Sydney Test Controversy on Umpiring Decisions and Robin Uthappa carries his bat through the innings

IPL Cricket Cartoon - Karbo Ladbo Jeetbo Harbo, Kolkata Knight Riders loose and are almost out of IPL

You are using decent words like 'haaarbo' ... you could use any of the swear words ending with 'bo re'

This is my first shot at cartooning. Have to start subtle and decent Smiling.

Maybe harsher in the future.

It is a great beginning. A bit of background stuff would do a world of good Smiling

Mrigank Shekhar's picture

Yeah I know. I tried the background stuff, but was using MS Paint Sad. It provides fixed set of flashy colours, not gradient etc. Will try to move to a better product. Also need to fill the background with some props. That adds a lot to the images.

Can't believe you made this on the comp using a mouse!! Great stuff.
As far as I know we have no cricket-only cartoon strip do we? Now we can Eye-wink

Mrigank Shekhar's picture

Comp is correct but mouse is wrong. Used a pen tablet for it Smiling.

Have a few more ideas. Will pen them down.

Nice cartoon. SRK looks like SRK, Ganguly looks like Ganguly, message and humor are effectively communicated. Looking forward to more from you.
