SKETCHES

The first medium I use to get my ideas and thoughts out is pencil and paper. The more I draw, the clearer concepts become, expecially during script level.

ABOUT Ishika Srivastava 8 February, 1992 College National Institute of Design, Ahmedabad Schools Welham Girls’ School, Dehrarun,2009 Delhi Public School, R.K. Puram, 2007 Status IIIrd year Graduate Diploma student in Animation Film Design Class XII, ISC Pass with 90% ,Humanities

Hi, again. I am a student of Animation Film Design at the National Institute of Design, Ahmedabad. I am 20 years old, with a penchant for madness :) As a film student, one of my ways of telling a story is via the techniques of editing. I am inspired by pop culture, stereotypes and psychology. The best part about films is sharing an ‘Aha’ moment with your friends or strangers. As an illustrator, most of my illustrations come from a very personal space with my cultural background. I draw on topics that amuse the cynical eye. I consider being a solid team player as my major strength.
