Question 1

You are sitting in a well-ventilated drawing room. It is 9 in the morning, and the sunlight is streaming through the window in the East, casting shadows on the floor. A cat is resting on one of the bright patches. A newspaper is placed beside a cup of hot tea on a small side table. There are three freshly watered potted plants in the room; one on the floor and two on the window sill with the watering jug next to it. 

From the above description, sketch the scene from your point of view

Question 2

Prof. Shastri was checking maths papers when she got a call from her husband. Mr Shastri was upset that she forgot the diet lunch box he had specially prepared. He was also annoyed that she left the dining table in a mess with all her papers and books piled up. He accused her of cheating on her diet by eating canteen Pakoras and Aloo Parathas for lunch. Prof. Shastri tried to soothe him by saying that she had been working since morning as she needed to finish checking papers and writing her research proposal by 5 pm that evening. She even had a headache from skipping lunch. Mr Shastri was not convinced and reminded her that she hadn't even read the diet book he had sent and was probably using it as a paperweight in her office. He concluded that she wasn't serious about her health and declared that he would not cook for her from then on. In frustration, Prof. Shastri hung up the phone and ordered her fifth cup of tea from the canteen and her second plate of Pakoras. From the above description, sketch Prof. Shastri's desk from her usual point of view.

Note: Make pencil sketches only, Do not use colours, and Do not draw Prof. Shastri.
