So in Drawing Foundation class today we were introduced to the concept of abstract drawing. For getting us started with the process of abstraction and understanding how one formulates it in a way very personal to oneself,Sir asked us first to doodle whatever we wanted simply by listening to songs that he had played. The whole purpose of listening to songs was to be distracted by different moods and then going with the flow of our thoughts combined. Later we discussed and reviewed everyone’s work and understood how each one of us had a different expression, post doodling sir gave us a demo of entopicgraphomania where by simply joking the dot that we place on the sheet of paper we could get an amazing result of an abstract drawing. We tried the same in many different ways and reviewed everyone’s work later, Sir gave us another demo on abstracting words, emotions and actions, we further abstracted words like anger, lazy, light weight, organic,etc
Sir then paired us for a new project and assigned a culture to us. My partner for this project will be Sriram and the culture that we are assigned is Chinese.
Following is what we did in class today, for more such updates stay tuned:)

DRAWING FOUNDATION WEEK 1, 30.07.2019 So today we had a class with Akash Sir on Drawing Foundation. Post introduction Sir showed few of his works and they were AMAZING! The amount of time he had put in for those sketches was unbelievable. He showed us presentation and it showcased a lot of his college work which again were too inspiring. We then started by simply drawing straight lines, circles and then ellipses. He also showed us the right way to sketch few forms and shapes in the right manner. Sir showed us a demo on designing and sketching a helmet in merely 5 minutes. He helped us understand the time division and importance of thumbnails and basic rough sketches. We were then assigned 25 minutes to sketch whatever we felt like, and the first thing that strikes my mind is my vegetable vendor(dont ask me why?) following below is the sketch I drew in the 25 minutes that were assigned, We discussed further how everyone's drawing had a basic sketch to it and sir gave another...

So today’s 3D Animation class was FUN! Every class we do gesture drawing where one person poses in front of the class and the rest quickly draws the gesture. Today we did the same exercise in a different way, we played side ball! Whenever sir saw a nice unique pose being showcased, sir asked that person to freeze for ten to fifteen seconds and we quickly used to sketch, by this we learned to draw more dynamic, instant, realistic and quirky pose gestures. Later we did stop motion of a bouncing ball(coin) where I learned a lot about the curve arcs and how gravity affects the arc and placement of the coin. Post bouncing coin I went through the book called Animator’s  survival kit by Richard Williams. I ordered it instantly as this book has got everything, from basics of animation to advance level.We later used our light boxes to draw the bouncing ball cell animation using pose to pose. I found it quite interesting how back when I was in school I used to copy science diagram using t...

ANI 17Sept MAKE UP WEEK

So today we had a make up class for animation where we continued with the previous exercise of heavy and light ball. Before that we did contour and gesture drawings, saw few short films and few of Sir’s work. In my animation for heavy and light ball, I have added an interaction between those two balls where when the light ball hits the wall on which the heavy ball is, the heavy balls hits the light ball from above and bounces back to the ground. I tried many ways but I haven’t got the effect that I want yet, few scenes look very unnatural and I am going to try again, this time I’m going to keep it simple and get the fundamentals right first. Stay tuned, I’ll be uploading all my playblast in the next blog:)
