Here are a couple of quick self-portrait sketches Kartika made, one with glasses on and one without.  I believe that one of these sketches will be used as a cover or frontispiece for a Kartika biography that is planned for publication sometime in Holland (the author did the interviews with Kartika over a couple of weeks earlier this month).

And though it is not really a 'sketch' I think it is illuminating to see the 'Goats' painting in its earliest moments of creation, in contrast with the finished painting.

Finally, just for fun, I will also share a playful sketch I made at Kartika's house after-breakfast one morning. She commented: "You can draw. But why use a pencil? Why not use a pen?"
