When i first joined the animation discipline in college, i was probably excited beyond repair and was imagining some crazy Miyazaki wonders to instantly erupt from my pencils. But gosh was i wrong, without any prior training in drawing and having self learnt most of my life, i was petrified. Never did i find a blank piece of paper so intimidating and never did i loathe drawing so much.
Yes, we started with the basic bouncing ball and went on to hammers and axes, slowly progressing to walk cycles and scarves waving in the air. Animating is certainly no child's play and i realized soon enough why my seniors would warn us everyday when they saw us with our light boxes in the studio.
It's a tough journey ahead, and now even in my fourth year, i still struggle with many many things which seem almost impossible to animate.
I had made this illustration out of frustration one day when our coordinator Sekhar Mukherjee was dismissing all our hammer animations.
