My Creative Resume
Oct 7, 2012
Here it goes!!! Thought of coming up with some good ideas for my resume. So I started to surf a lot in net for creative resumes and I come across with a lot of creative stuffs. It was like a blend of rainbow in my scribble pad. Yet something bothering in my mind, “I could even do better than what I have seen till now”.
At last I was ended in perspective, that my resume should visualize my nature of work and work arena. So I thought of developing my resume with Maya Application as BG. I hope It’s for the first time I guess a resume was developed in this way. I clearly picture my career growth with a ascending bar chart. My Education summary was lined with a horizontal char ranging between the years 2004 to 2012.
Then I depict my proficiency with a rating limit of 5. The graph includes “Heartin” symbol which shows the love and passion over the tools am working with. And I have included my video gallery snapshots. Also I have included some of my 3d models. The messy alignment might quite difficult to understand. But I feel interviewer will remember my resume.
I value your comments.Cheers !!!!!
:) Great Day

Various action poses
Feb 27, 2012Before entering in to the action poses, practicing the human stick figure in normal standing position is necessary. This will fetch you the perfect height proportion of the human.
Once after gaining a good practice in standing position we can switch over to the action poses. The following figures are action poses in standing positions. Generally these are called as rhythmic action poses (poses of dancing or moving body along with music, etc...). The below figure will give a clear understanding of rhythmic action poses.
The following figures are different action poses. It will be easy for the person who is drawing the action poses, if he or she gains the knowledge of the spine structure. Always draw a guide line of spinal cord. By following the spine we can easily draw the other divisions and parts.
Also the knowledge of the gravity is necessary i.e. While the human standing, how the gravitational forces will act on his body. The following figure will give you the idea about the gravity.
The center line is the plumb line and the two dashed lines along with the plumb line is the gravity line. The gravitational pull will act in a single point. Understanding the gravity point will result in a realistic pose, so a good practice is this section is mandatory. I suggest newbies to practice the above figures as many times as possible. Once attaining a thorough knowledge in poses and gravity, then newbies can move the block methods.

Shadow and Light
Feb 3, 2012
Light creates various tonal effects on objects such as areas of light, shade, cast shadows, reflected light, highlight or bounce light, etc... The flat surface of the objects show uniform tones and the curved surfaces show tonal variations. The pattern variations depend on the surface curvature. For example we can say a cylindrical surface will show the tonal variations in lines, a conical surface will show the tonal variations in a pattern which is narrowing towards the apex and broadening at the base and spherical surfaces will show tones varying in a circular way.
Tips: A good practice in the primitives will help in drawing real world objects. The shades and shadows will help in detailing the objects.
The figure will give a clear understanding of the basic shapes and perspectives.
To represent the object in three dimensional nature the real depth should be given to the object. The real depth is obtained by giving the proper shade, cast shadow, bounce light, highlight, etc...
The cast shadow if formed by blocking the light source. The cast shadow falls outside the object. The size of the shadow will depend on the angle of the light. The size of the shadow will be small if the light is above the object and will be large when the light is in the side of the object. Also the object nearer to the light source will produce a bigger shadow and the more far object will produce smaller shadow. For an example here a spear is projected in the path of the light. By observing the figure we can see the size of the shadow for the angle of light. For creating a perfect shadow for an object, a very good understanding of light and its angles is must.
The bounce light are formed from the light of the other nearby objects. The lighting area is called as spots or highlights. These spots are perpendicular to the light source.
Tips: Newbies are recommended to use HB pencils in the starting stage, so that they can get a good hand flow in shading and strokes.
