swetha's art work

 At Conestoga College, I had a assignment that involved a physical sketchbook ONLY, (no digital sketching): Sketchbook Prompts. We were given a prompt, and we had to come back next week with about 15 drawing related to that prompt. Some of the prompts were:       Expressive Hands      Expressive Eyes       Zoo Expression      Hybrid Creations      Environmental Spirits      Man-made Objects as Characters      Gestural Body Language      Mouth Shapes for Lip Sync Animation

 A few pages from my sketchbook, as part of my sketchbook assignments from Sheridan College:

 Part of Life Drawing class is to study the bones and muscles so as to have a basic knowledge of Anatomy. It's important to know this so that the character can be animated with a believable personality:

 I just recently got the full Adobe Photoshop app on my iPad Air 4...  I drew this interior sketch with it. And I have to say, it's very different from Adobe Fresco.
