Reddit may not be at the top of its game in terms of technical specifications but has always outdone itself in terms of creativity. This online social community motivates people to interchange content on a global platform that not just encourages budding artists but also doubles up as an incubator of healthy discussion.

One particular forum that gives this website its distinct identity is Sketch Daily. Every day one particular theme is chosen and artists from around the world create their own interpretation and upload it for public viewing. This rendition usually emerges from years of reading, exposure to media, personal experience or just mere abstract thinking.

The theme that gained momentum recently was our very own culture-driven homeland, India. Whimsical artworks right from hand-sketched drawings to computerised designs created an outpour of colour and vibrance all over the internet.

Here are some unique drawings that appeared on their thread.
