SKETCH IT ALL - 13

Experimenting a lot to develop a workflow. Its hard to beat the feel of traditional media although modern tools are much more efficient so its time to figure out what works best for me. Even in fusion there are like 999 means to achieve some amazingly unique styles. Its so much fun to explore all these styles and techniques.

Another quick test

Pencil, paper and 10 mins

SKETCH IT ALL - 12 : Doodling around

Just a quick test to experiment with some painting technique.

and studying values and lighting.

Learning painting

Its so much fun to do.

Quick Study - Male body

Study from Ambuj Joshi on Vimeo.

This is not exactly how i draw in general but did this one in a bit elaborated way. Sketching a lot these days .. it gives me a good mind set to work. Before starting an animation its a good way for me to get into the flow by doing a quick sketch. Recorded this for someone to show my sketching process.

SKETCH IT ALL - 08

Its been a while since ive done something just for the fun of sketching. Completely random. No background story .. no hard thoughts. Just for the love of beautiful lines ;) Some people think what is fun in sketching or painting .. its such a tedious process. Well, the fun in everything starts once u get deep into it. Its like this .. when you go to watch movie in a theatre. Do you feel fun in driving through the heavy traffic to theatre?? Or fun in finding place to park your car in a rushy saturday night movie?? Nope .. but fun starts when you get into the theatre after the boring adv. So there is a lot of effort that you have to go through to have fun at the end. Same goes with sketching or painting or any other stuff. You must first understand how to get into it and must put efforts during that. Once ur deep in there ... u'll have lots of fun for sure ;) Here's the step by step till final render in photoshop.

Lets get to the painting!!

Im new to painting .. actually very new .. and ive a very bad track record as far as painting is concerned :D But now i had to just move out of my area of comforts .. so tried this first hard brushed painting in PS. Result came out much crappier than i expected :/ nvm

Yea and digging deep into anatomy and figure drawing these days. My shading skills are worst in all so learning shading planes too :] Loomis ji ki bahot kripa hai =D

As my approach about animation is expanding .. i can see now that great artists are not great just because they are masters of their subject. They are great coz they are much more evolved than others and they use there art as a medium to portray their that evolved approach .. to bring it out for others to see.

Girls are not so easy for me to draw.

Reference Sheets!!

This has become a part of my workflow. Helps me a lot to make a reference sheet of the poses that i can suggest in the planning part. Nice, quick, easy :D

SKETCH IT ALL - 06

We stress ourselves too much with job and work and we forget an important thing called life. This is wat we look, become and feel if we keep on working for 12-14+ hours "the weird". Work is part of life not life. Keep it balanced :D

well yea :D

Its fun ... i mean its toooo fun. Learning animation is wat i do all the time these days. Its fun how u practice, improve, learn new concepts, apply in ur work and u see ur work is improving rite in front of u. This is too easy just a matter of time hmm. Amrit bro (Amrit Derhgawen) taught me to practice 2d and it worked. So i spend almost all my time understanding it and "Pencil" has become one of my fav softwares. Its still under development but rocks for me!!
