More recent questions asked

So are you trying to be like Kim Jung Gi,  Peter Han and others ?

No. All I mean is Kim Jung Gi,  Rembert Montald,  Peter Han, Dongho Kim are my masters. They are my gurus. My inspiration.  But I know what I want. And I am focused only in what I want to achieve.  And that is a very good comic artist.  I worship the great guys. But I will remain in comics. I will focus on comics.

Why comics?

I like telling stories.  That's why.

So, animation you said needs a team. Comics one can do alone. And you are aiming for comics because you want to tell stories.  Is this what is going on in your head?

Exactly. 

How are you focusing in comics ?

Mainly, I draw gravity held box frames. And fit drawing objects inside them. Here are my recent drawings. 

The quality of my drawings are poor now. But with Deming method of PDCA I hope to improve above boxes and drawing objects thing in days to come.

Okay. Got it. By what time are you likely to become a great quality comic artist ?

I expect to be a good comic artist by March 31, 2026. Of course I don't know whether I can be a great comics artist or not.

Two more questions. First one. Can someone borrow some of your mathematical ideas and work on them?

Frankly,  I want to reserve my mathematical ideas for my family.  My wife. My children. As my mathematics are of intuitions and inspiration.  However,  one can use ifs and buts and manipulate and try differently.  I have no objections. 

The second question. You said you have deep desires in art. Are you over with your desires?

Just as a man drinks cow and buffalo milk my desires for art does not end. Animation art desires are not there. Classical art desires are not there. Modern art desires are not there. But comic drawing desires are there.  Portraits art desires are there. I want to do very good comics.  Not excellent comics. But I want to do excellent Portraits. Here is a sample imagined face portrait drawn Just now using a HB pencil only.

Thanks. 

Thanks. 

These 10 drawings

I thought I need to finalize my drawing exercises.  And also not hide anything from readers. I do not have any secret exercises.  The below exercises are honest,  complete and to the best of my abilities. 

Have a fantastic week ahead !!

New questions asked

I shall come to the point. Are you in right frame of mind ? With mathematics,  art, music and all.

I am a sane person. With the strength of my mathematical constants like pi, phi etc. I want to see where I reach. In mathematics.  In art. I believe in Jesus and am sure constants Are due to him. And because of Jesus I attempted music too.

So, mathematics and art and music have inspiration from Jesus.  What are you doing this weekend ?

I'm practising difficult areas like muscled men, interiors and exteriors. 

I got for myself piano stickers and pasted them in my harmonium keys.

I also wrote down music notes of my compositions. 

Are you sure you don't want to do animation ? Only cartoons and comics, is it ?

Yes. Animation needs a team. As I am alone, I shall do cartoons and comics . 

What is your favorite food ?

Tandoori roti, dal makhani,  shahi paneer, rava Khichdi, venn Pongal, sabudana and peanut powder and peanuts and potato Khichdi.

Thanks 

Thanks

Paper - Spiral Blank Register, Normal Pencils, Normal Black pens, Normal Erasers, Normal Sharpener

Digital - Microsoft Paint, Adobe Bamboo Paper, Clip Studio Paint Pro

Till Date - March 31, 2026

Three objectives and three weapons

First things first.  Being alone and aiming for 2d animation and/or 3d animation will never work.

So I have made three objectives -

1. Cartoon drawing 

2. Comic drawing 

3. Trying to be Kim Jung Gi 

I have three weapons with me

1. Five alphabets of drawing 

2. Triangular meshes 

3. Sigma ((-1)^(n))((n^2)/(n!))

I have PDCA with me. I have nearly 3 years time.

Whether digital or whether paper. Its gonna be cartoons and comics. However I shall learn, understand,  assimilate Blender 4.5 and books of art.

The latest set of questions asked

What softwares do you have in your Lenovo laptop ?

Curve Fitting Basic,  Clip Studio Paint Pro which is subscribed, Pencil2d and Blender 4.5. I also have McAfee support for all my devices for dark web series.

Why Curve Fitting Basic?

My digamma function is almost a straight line. That's why. 

Why Clip Studio Paint?

World War 2 ended in Japan. Peace is due to Buddha.  I subscribed to Clip Studio Paint and now I promise that I shall be robust as Taguchi preached and not get into mood swings because of other softwares. 

Animation may not be possible.  Portrait sculpting you do not know whether will work or not. 3d animation can be impossible.  Do you understand the limitations?

Yes. 

SAILMA is great steel. How do you propose to improve SAILMA?

Currently management is focused on Green steel making processes.  But privately I am doing application of my mathematics on SAILMA steel. 

You say you do experiments.  Have you done on steel making ?

Yes. I use refrigerator for my experiments.  Milk, ice cream powder mix and its ice cream formation. These experiments give meaningful insights into crystal properties.

Prove that water and liquid steel are similar.

Water becomes ice on cooling. Liquid steel becomes solid steel on cooling too.

But so does liquid aluminum. 

Your concepts of reasoning is weak. You asked me to prove water and liquid steel.  Am I correct or not ?

You maybe. That's good.  Thanks. 

Thanks.

Just now Questions asked

Are you working on mathematics ?

Yes, I am. I have Curve Fitting Basic software in my laptop. I am trying to get (number) to the power of (polynomial) that best fits with (((n+1)(n+2))/2)^n to give us 2n factorial. Preliminary observation seems a straight line. Probably 'Amplifier' region.

What about art ?

It will be Clip Studio Paint. Though it is an oriental thinking processes, it suits me. Much better than Blender, Of course triangle mesh system is there for paper drawings. So, Clip Studio Paint and paper is my present and future plans.

Will you not be using MS Paint, Adobe Bamboo Paper and all ?

MS Paint came with Windows OS. Adobe Bamboo Paper with Wacom. So why should I not be using them?

What about Pencil2D, Blender?

I will not be using them. Camera layer and light does not suit me. Everything has its timeline. And that is what I feel is correct. It is an artists interpretation of what he sees understanding and respecting everything's time factor.

Will you uninstall Pencil2D, Blender etc.?

I do not understand. We are getting oil from Russia and that is what is the main issue. Asking prejudiced and uncomfortable questions are not welcome.

You scoundrel, who do you think you are ? You do not know . . .

Get out, rascal. Never show your face again.

I maybe a journalist. You are middle manager in a lousy PSU. Don't loose your temper on me. Do you understand?

Okay. I am not clear on many things.  Let me say just one fact. I chose History and Electrical engineering as options in my Civil Services attempt. Meaning History of Electrical.  Do you have it ?

Why not ? I don't want to tell my optionals.

That seems good. 

Suppose, I arrange 1 week classroom training in Blender 4.5. Will it be possible?

Yes. I shall be delighted.  That is what I want. Blender is most advanced animation software and I am desparate to plug my holes in my understanding and doing high resolution quality animation in Blender 4.5.

Thanks. 

Thanks.

Roadside Dhaba - A short story

 

Ganesh was a wonderful person. He was in his 50s. He had a wife and three children. He lived a comfortable life in Delhi in a high rise apartment. There were four rooms in his apartment and he got a room for himself.

Ganesh had varied interests. He was a lover of music. He had a high quality music system. He bought the music system just to listen to Fur Elise intently.

Ganesh loved drawing art. He was good in drawing in paper and got for himself all the imaginable materials. Pencils, crayons of all types. And different type of papers. All of these just to emulate Da Vinci drawings.

Ganesh however was sad. He was serving in Delhi government in the municipality division and was in-charge of sewage unit. His wife was in a top German electrical firm and was earning highly. They were married when love blossomed between them  during college days. He was a man of passion and his wife then was a very practical girl. They thought they would be ideal partners.

Then there was a severe rift between them. His wife would often say she can take care of raising the children and he can move out.

One fine day he did move out with his pencils, drawing notebook and clothes for car cleaning to Murthal, Haryana. He had plans for leading a life in dhaba doing drawings for customers and cleaning their cars.

But he had to influence Captain(Retd.) Ranjeet Arora, who owned the dhaba. He met Captain Arora and showed him his drawings and cleaned and polished his car. Captain Arora was deeply impressed. Captain Arora promised him free breakfast, lunch and dinner in exchange for drawings to customers and cleaning their cars. Captain Arora, then asked about his background and family. But Ganesh did not say anything. And he requested Captain Arora not to enquire about his past. 

Three years moved on. Ganesh impressed the customers to Murthal Dhaba with his cleaning the cars and selling drawings free of cost. He got breakfast, lunch and dinner. In the evening he would go to local temple and did meditation for 1 hour. At night he will sleep in his charpouy. He was leading a contended man.

One fine day customers came in a black Mercedes car. Captain Arora on seeing the brand of car immediately called for Ganesh and asked him to clean, polish the car and give them his best drawings free. Ganesh agreed.

After about an hour, the customers namely a woman and three grown up kids came up towards the black Mercedes car after having sumptuos dhaba meal. Captain Arora also came down with them.

Ganesh immediately recognized that the woman and the three grown up kids were his own family. His own blood relatives. His own world. The people who mattered the most. Ganesh started crying. He could not stop himself from weeping profusely. His wife also recognized Ganesh and there were tears in her eyes too. The kids then hugged their papa. Captain Arora who was watching the situation now fully understood what is what.

Captain Arora in his full military command style ordered the family to be together. Ordered the wife to take back Ganesh. Ordered Ganesh to show positivity. Ordered Ganesh and the family to lead a happy life. And ordered them to leave.

Ganesh, his wife and the three kids obeyed the orders of Captain Arora. And they all left in their black Mercedes.

. . . And Captain Arora for the first time in his life had tears in his eyes.

Make in India bandha

 

I shall consider myself a successful artist if

1. Understand, memorize and use all the shortcuts and facilities of Blender 4.5

2. Able to draw Indian Manga animation 

3. Able to use Lasso Tool

4. Able to make sphere, cone, cylinder, cube and pyramids with triangular mesh

Is it possible to be Kim Jung Gi ?

I am confused. And unable to focus. As to what should be my aim ?

Plans Now

 

Triangular Mesh System

 

Q i am following the mesh system in paper drawing with triangular mesh. Triangles were with me for quite some time. I did 3d improvemnt also with triangles. Will it be a copyright violation if I use and develop triangular mesh system for improving drawing in paper ?

 

A Based on intellectual property principles, using a triangular mesh system for drawing is not a copyright violation. Copyright law protects the specific expression of an idea, not the underlying idea, method, or system itself. Since a triangular mesh is a mathematical concept and a technique, it cannot be copyrighted. 

Here's a breakdown of why your use and development of this technique are safe:

·         Copyright protects expression, not ideas: The fundamental concept of using triangles to map and improve a drawing is an unprotectable idea. Your original drawings created with the technique would be protected by copyright, but the method itself is not.

·         Concepts vs. execution: This is known as the "idea-expression divide" in copyright law. Anyone can use the concept of a triangular mesh. A copyright violation would only occur if you copied another artist's specific, finished artwork that was made using the technique.

·         Techniques are not copyrightable: Art and drawing techniques, methods, and processes—like using a triangular mesh—are considered general knowledge and are not eligible for copyright protection. This is similar to how a cooking recipe can't be copyrighted, but a book of recipes can.

·         Patent protections are unlikely: While patents protect new and non-obvious processes, a basic triangular mesh is a long-established mathematical concept. It is extremely unlikely that you could obtain a patent for a drawing technique that uses such a widely known concept.

·         Freedom for development: You are free to innovate and develop the triangular mesh system for your own work. Your unique modifications and original artistic applications of the technique would be your intellectual property, but the underlying method remains in the public domain for all to use. 

In short, feel confident in developing and using your drawing system. Your original art is yours, and the basic technique belongs to everyone.

Questions asked presently

You talk of mathematics.  You talk of art. Why two areas ?

I believe I am strong in Golden Ratio.  In 9th class at the age of 15 I saw Golden Ratio. I believe God wants me to see the principles of Golden ratio.  And Golden Ratio is in mathematics.  And Golden Ratio is in art. That is why I talk of mathematics.  I talk of art.

Should you not be showing proofs in mathematics?

We were taught about proofs as the way in developing mathematics right from school days. Guys prove Wallis pi by 2. Guys prove Madhava pi by 4. Guys prove Stirling gamma approximation formula.  My pi by 3 root3 can be shown to be pi by 3 root3. Is showing the same as proofs ?

Yes. Of course. Why did you not write papers on pi by 3 root3,  then ?

I wrote papers and thought big journals will be only interested in research scope, that's why. I did not know that a statement and showing that it equals exactly something is a paper material. 

I understand.  Are you focused on 2d animation,  now ?

Very much. As focused as Arjuna about to release his arrow on the bird's eye.

You have finalized your art looks for 2d animation.  What next now ?

In paper, pencil and pen for poses practices.  In paper pencil for steps in animation practices.  In paper, pencil for backgrounds practices.  In digital Microsoft Paint for poses practices.  In digital Adobe Bamboo Paper for steps in animation practices.  In digital Adobe Bamboo Paper for backgrounds practices.  All PDCA of Edwards Deming. 

What about coloring ?

Coloring as per the planned need is a simple step only. Just make the borders invisible so to say. And add darker shades to each and every color.

And lighter shades to each and every color ?

Yes. That too. So a color, darker than color and lighter than color.

Will you be doing 3D sculpting,  3D animation?

No. My ikigai is 2D animation.  I plan to use time like Japanese and stay strictly on 2D animation. Focused time usage.

Clip Studio Paint or Pencil2d software for 2d animation?

Pencil2d software. I can manage all the things I have in mind for 2D animation in Pencil2d. 

What is the guarantee that you will not learn 3d sculpting,  3d animation?

You are testing my desires tolerance.  It is my promise to Buddha that I shall resist 3d art temptations fully. If temptations are high, then I shall do paper drawings at the most.  But in digital it is Pencil2d only.

Why did you not use Blender for 2d animation ? 

Blender has a complicated user menus and difficult to understand settings and controls and user interaction facilities. Pencil2D is you see and you understand. I am in the GODI of MODA government but my case is not done a MODA but accepted. Point is everything gets delayed and I may end up in SODA spectacles.

Thanks. 

Thanks. 

3 step humans and 2 steps background

I am getting into animation. Here is a sample drawn on Pencil2d.

PDCA practices now include

3 step humans

2 step background

Ultimately, I want to do animations in this Internationally accepted style.
