The next assignment of the semester! Digital anatomy sketching...! We had to design a Male, a Female, and a Child character. Here is the process we use to draw... First, we have to draw a skull base anatomy i.e. a stick figure sketch. Second, we have to give volume to the skull base by drawing spheres, cylinders, cubes etc.  (I have actually done the two steps together in the drawings, sorry...) Third, we add the muscle structure. Fourth, we design the features, the clothes, etc etc. And last, we colour it! So, here are the end results:   For the child anatomy, I used this artist,  LuigiL 's work as reference. I really liked the style. Anyway, that's all for now! Bye! ~~~~~~~Chinmayee. S

It's the First assignment of the semester! And it is Character animation! We had to animate a character by using the 12 principles of animation, cushion, accent and moving hold. I was inspired by The Umbrella Scene  TM from 'The Miraculous Ladybug' Show, and I came up with this small animation. Here is the scene: Yes, I do watch Miraculous. #bigfan And here is me, acting out the idea of the animation: (watch me make a fool of myself) And finally, here is the Animation! Yay!! I also prepared an X-sheet for the animation: Well, that's all for now. See you next time! Bye!

Hey Guys! Sorry for the recent inactivity. What with the exams and the holidays. But college has finally started! Which hopefully means that I will be posting more stuff very soon...! So, have some digital bubbles! This was just a random idea I had while looking up some digital painting tutorials. This was the first stage: Then came the bubbles: Here are the bubbles without the cloudy sky background: Well, that got rid of my boredom pretty well! Bubble Tutorial Thanks for visiting! Bye! ~~~~~~~Chinmayee. S

Hey guys, Happy Deepavali...! Deepavali or Diwali is the festival of lights. It symbolises victory of light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance & Good over Evil. It is one of the most celebrated festival in India. And one of my favorites too!! We light Diyas or oil lamps and burst crackers to show the victory of light. And we eat lots of sweets! I've made a sky lantern (or Akash Butti as we call them). Here it is! Unfortunately, I didn't click photos of the process of making this. But I'll attach the video I watched to make it. Legend has it, that our ancestors and Gods visit us during these days. So, we hang these lights in the sky for them to find their way.  There are many other rituals that are equally as interesting and delightful. There are different stories behind them too. Do check them out...! Click here to watch the YouTube video That's all for now! See you again, Namaskar!!

Mewar art or Rajasthani art is one of my favorite art styles. This is a Traditional art style. It is one of the most important schools of Indian miniature paintings of the 17th and 18th centuries. It was developed in Hindu principality of Mewar(in Rajasthan State). It is very similar to Mughal art style and is often confused. I really love the beautiful features of the Men and Women depicted here, mostly from the royal families. The colors are also bright and very lovely. I tried to draw a Queen in this style. I used a picture of Rani Padmini as reference. click here to see the  Reference . That's all for now! Bye! ~~~~~~~Chinmayee. S

Kalighat Paintings or Kalighat Pat was an art form popular during the 19th century, in Bengal. This art style was mostly seen in the vicinity of the Kalighat Kali temples. These group of artists are called 'Patuas' A very famous artist in this style is Jamini Roy. I have taken his art work as reference here. The things I love about this art form are the simple shapes, bold colors, and the perfect line art. Here is one more drawing in this style:   This art style might look simple, but it is not! Well, that's all! Thanks for stopping by! Bye!

So, this took a little longer to upload, but here it is! The very first thing I sketched when I got a hold of my new Pen Tab...!! Fem!Adrien: Adrianna! Done on 25th august 2016. There are a lot of things to improve on though... My friend, Vijay Kumar, has also coloured this sketch. Take a look at his work too...! He's a really good artist...! Visit Vijay Kumar Naik's blog! Well, thanks for visiting! Bye! ~~~~~~~Chinmayee. S

Here's an assignment about perspective.  This one is called '2-Point perspective' in which you have two vanishing points. This method makes it look three dimensional.  Hope you like it! Bye! ~~~~~~~Chinmayee. S

Blowing bubbles was my favourite pass time when I was young. It was nice to see the changing colours and see it pop! So, here's an animation of a bubble bouncing around and popping! Thanks for watching! Bye !

Bhag Milka Bhag...! Run cycle... Thanks for watching! Bye ~~~~~~~Chinmayee. S

I wasn't kidding when I said that people were obsessed with monochrome... I'm obsessed too! Here, I've done a composition using only triangles and filling it in with black ink: (I wonder where Bill Cipher is now?) Here is one using only squares: Here's one using only circles: And here's the one in which all the three shapes are combined: Well, that's all...! Bye! ~~~~~~~Chinmayee. S

Walk and talk... Walk and talk... Walk and talk...!! It's good for health! So, here! Have a walk cycle animation... Egg walk, anyone? I referred this: Thanks for watching! Stay healthy! Bye! ~~~~~~~Chinmayee. S

What can I say? I love cats!! So, have some cat sketches... Here's some more of Mr. Fur Ball... I looked up some kitten poses for references, and created a cat in my style. That's all! Bye! ~~~~~~~Chinmayee. S

Human anatomy is a very complicated subject. I used to find it very hard to draw human figures. But after this assignment, I feel a little confident about drawing human beings. Thanks to pose reference websites, the difficulty was reduced. Here are some of the sketches of female anatomy: And here are some male anatomy sketches: Well, that's all for now! Bye! ~~~~~~~Chinmayee. S

"My grandfather's clock was too large for the shelf, So it stood ninety years on the floor.  It was taller by half than the old man himself, Though it weighed not a pennyweight more." Remember this poem? I remember reading this when I was in high school... Anyway, here is a small animation that I did. A swinging Pendulum. The poem  'My Grandfather's Clock' written by Henry Clay . Thanks for watching! Bye! ~~~~~~~Chinmayee. S

Ants are amazing creatures. They can lift objects 50 times their actual weight! They started farming way before humans!! Crazy, right? So, here you go. Angry red ant. I used Donald duck as a reference for this one...! That's all! See ya...! ~~~~~~~Chinmayee. S
