Three statements

First statement 

My funny cartoons shall be well balanced artwork with to the point joke.

Second statement 

My portraits/caricatures shall have great resemblance with well shaded colors, with shadows and with light highlights all working together to give a perfect portraiture/caricature. 

Third statement 

My comic drawing will have great 3d effect with shadows, shadings, highlights.  They shall also have great textures from now onwards if possible. 

These are my guiding statements and I shall be working towards these.

I want to be a very great artist like Leonardo DaVinci and I shall reach there, one day. 😄😄😄

Drawing Spree

Yesterday,  I saw a classic drawing video (Online Art Academy) in Youtube.  From that instant my desire for drawing went up.

Yesterday evening and today morning I did the following 

Have a nice day, folks !!

"There goes the man that I was talking about. He always keeps a newspaper in front covering his face when he walks. He probably has taken loans from his neighbours and friends. And he covers his face to hide it from his lenders. What other better reason could be there as to why he covers his face with a newspaper ?" 

Two practices

 Shaded Asaro head

I plan to only shade and get an Asaro head. This I believe will improve my portraits/caricatures drawing. 

PdcaDCA comic drawing 

I plan to stress for a lot of perspective in my comic drawing practices.  This calls for a more than one PDCA.  I have termed it PdcaDCA. 

These are the practices I plan to do. Currently.

PDCA for comics drawings

I am into PDCA for comics drawings. 

You may recall that PDCA worked for me very well in cartoons drawings. 

Now I am trying to improve comics drawings quality by PDCA.  Time frame is one year.

I am not too happy with my current comic drawing. 

I do caricatures to pep up myself.  You may have seen that in last three blog posts.

Have a nice weekend,  guys.

It will be wonderful to have pencils and paper and make money with these two. This drives me mad and I pursue caricatures/portraits due to this driving force.

I am strong in Golden Ratio.  Proportions. 

I use Loomis method and Asaro head principles to draw a head. A mixture of these two.

I expect my cosine hatching to give me accurate volume to my shading.

"Whenever you say something controversial or something out of the box; you bring your hands towards your face. This has become a habit of yours. Probably you are slapped by your wife for arguing against her. This habit has percolated into our office as well." 

Gaja and Kukura song

 "Pop up words and pop up musical phrases needed these days"

AI is into music. Our history of music is more than 80 years. AI should not eat our market share.

Of course, our love songs and dirty songs will sell. But this is not enough.

We must stress on musical phrases and lyrical phrases. In the following song "Mazaa Mazaa", "Sazaa sazaa" are stressed. This can beat AI as AI may not be able to stress beautifully so much. Even if AI does, it cannot displace our own stressing based on our cultural values.

Enjoy this song.

"Why don't we go to our parent's place and stay there for a few days ? That way our daily squabbles will get reduced. And also we can conserve gas."

Gaja and Kukura song

What are Gaja and Kukura ? Gaja in Sanskrit means elephant. Kukura in Sanskrit means dog. Gaja and Kukura were to be an animation series and has now become a dream of mine. I am composing all these songs as a dream. Just as Gaja and Kukura animation series is a dream.

But there are many listeners to these songs. And I do not want to disappoint them.

Here is a new Gaja and Kukura song. Forgive me for my lyrics. Though I know three languages namely English, Hindi and Tamil; but the lyrical ability in all the three are not good.

To the point

"Let us not concentrate on Idlis, Rice in our restaurant for now. People will be having these cooked in their homes in electric heaters. I foresee a demand in Tawa items like Dosas, Pancakes and Chappatis. Let us now concentrate more on these." 

Gaja and Kukura song

I believe in experiments and experimentaion. In R&D, in mathematics and even in music.

This song is an example. The sthahi and antara are so vastly different. But they are expected to be joined by background scores/ silence.

 

Gaja and Kukura song

In 1960s, Lata Mangeshkar sang "Ae mere watan ke logon" to end war.

This song is offering to end war like situation in the world. This song is on friendliness.

"Panditji, please do not wear jeans and T-shirt and leave. Please take your bath and wear new dhoti and do poojas. We agree there is delay in allotting you a quarter inside temple premises. There won't be more delay. We promise. By today evening we shall allot a quarter in your name."

Gaja and Kukura song

The times are difficult. There is no motivation in people to stay calm. There is tension. There is panic.

A new song makes one motivated. I still remember how motivated, driven and energetic I felt when I listened to a new song of Mohit Chauhan, Arijit Singh.

To keep up motivation and to make people feel positive I have made this song.

"Do not be angry, Panditji. Tie your kesh into round sphere and do poojas. Do not leave your kesh loose. We promise to give you 5 grammes of gold as discussed in contract earlier. Now please tie your kesh and do poojas."

"Panditji, please don't turn away from food like this. It is an insult to divine food. We promise to give you silk dhoti and silk angavastra. We promise. Now please turn the other way and take your food."

I want to be as good as Alex Raymond.  Creator of Rip Kirby comics.

It is almost impossible,  still I wanna try

Not be an Indian,  but a world known guy

Towards quality improvement in five frames funny cartoons

I plan to start five frames funny cartoons.  I want to improve my drawings for this. I am using DMAIC and PDCA For Quality Improvement. 

I am planning to name this five framed funny cartoons ' Stories Around and Abound'. I shall publish these funny cartoons in Tapas.  They shall be in Webtoons format.

I want to be very funny. And the drawings to be very good. Try and make cartoons which are good in global standards.

I intend to practice for a few months, possibly 12 months; and then start 'Stories Around and Abound ' in Webtoons format.

My yesterday practices. 

Morning 

Late Morning 

Early afternoon 

You may notice that my practices include 

1. Drawing exercises 2. Comic frame distant 3. Comic frame close 4 Funny style humans 5 Framed style humans 6. Animal

I shall include cars, motorbikes, better looking sofas, chairs, beds, almirahs, tables. Gradually.

Will I be doing portraits,  caricatures?

No. As these are of Indian rupees.  And I want to earn foreign money. I shall be aiming for viewership in millions or thousands and earn foreign money. And that is why I want Quality Improvement in 12 months time. I feel it is my social responsibility of me as an Indian to earn foreign currency.  In yuan. In dollars. 

Dekh rakhen hain paise wale kitne na jaane
