A blog for Sketching

Damn i missed daily sketches after leaving Ittina. Here's the alternative :D Introducing : Ok, this is how it works. Libere Artisti is a page connecting individual sketching blogs. We are conducting Outdoor sketching sessions in our place every thursday and put the sketches in each artist's individual blog. Since it's tough to organize combines sketching sessions online, the plan is to start sketching on your own, post them in your Sketch blog and give us the link.You'll have a button to your blog from our main page. It's just for the fun of doodles. May be we can be lucky to get a great guy in some day and get some tips and tricks.. Till then,it's all about practising and sharpening your skills. Doodles, Life sketches anything goes.. Let me know how many would like to start some serious sketchin. Grab a book, Pocket some pencils...get ur ass out of the room..computers does not exist for u for a while... capture some life on paper :D ( plz join only if u r really interested to keep doing it . I'll see you in the comments ) enjoi monsterz!

hey monsters!! what's up?? just done with my 2nd lipsync animation! damn i just FREAKED out on this one!! right from conceptualization to the end, i loved working on this piece! not too much of a story here... just wanted to show two people talking. i also wanted to do some subtle acting this time. it's also the first ever time i animated a hindi dialogue, so it was an enormous challenge working on it! indian acting is definitely something we shud all try... it's a whole new world of acting choices!!! i really learnt a lot from this! do check it out and pour in ur c&c. this is also officially my LAST assignment in takshaa! my my, how time flies!! :D i must take this opportunity to THANK ALL OF YOU for your never ending support. it's only because of you guys i cud improve so far!! really thanks a lot guys! :) all i'm waiting for now is the ANIMATION JURY on 23rd may! fingers crossed! :D p.s. btw for those who dont understand the language, lemme translate it. the first guy,"you know that meena from cheekuwadi?? the other evening she was passing by nautan lane. i asked her right then and there... you wanna marry me??" the second guy,"what happened next??" the first guy,"what could happen?? she SLAPPED me with her sandal!!" they both start laughing!

nina paley "Fetch" (DUCK Studios)

prasad's post really took me back to those nina paley days!! there was a time i was going CRAZY about her work. i still am! she's really one of my inspirations! one of my wishes is to meet her someday! here's another awesome video i had watched over and over again of nina paley. i love the abstraction in this one!! and it has only 4 simple characters to deal with: a man, a dog, a ball and a line. check it out!

Sita Sings The Blues !

Nina Paley, using 'Creative Commons license' is allowing people to watch her indi film "Sita Sings The Blues" .Don't loose this chance and go watch it, you can download it in various formats and sizes (including HD, use a nice download manager for this ! ) from here. It's said she have completed it alone in a small apartment, with very limited funding's ! But, just a word of caution, keep your mind and heart open while watching this film, and don't watch if you are a Hindu Extremist ! For me it was nice experience, just don't want it to show to my mother :) Go watch !

unrequited

...ha ha Some crap i did. flash. entirely spontaneous stuff..580 frames in 6 hours..No thoughts,No planning, No artificial flavors involved. free flow of mind , a lil bad mood ...and some flashcs3 :) " And the Nightmares are back... i really thought she had left me for good, then... i think i was wrong... i run and run amok.. they still chase me like there is no tommorow...i flee to escape... but the impetus is so hard that it pushes me over the edge... " ".....but who am i fooling... no wonder even when i travel across seven lands, your love looks upon me like death... i don't want to bear your love and live till i age and wither off... let me be crucified... for you and millions of other unrequited love... " lemme know if u like it :) i don't mind if u don't :D it's nothing great :D
