Phase Two
My guide asked me to analyze illustrators and artists who have worked on the subjects of Indian mythology. This would help me in knowing how these illustrators perceive the stories and also how differently they illustrate a same topic.
Amar Chitra Katha - www.amarchitrakatha.com
These graphic novels introduced me to the mystical world of mythology. The illustrators have a minimal usage of black and flat coloured. The outline treatment is modulated (thick and thin lines). A keen observation is that Amar chitra katha follows a very unusual pallete. The main protagonist or the central characters have a different colour than the rest of the people. The illustrators also do not add depth or roundity by colour treatment.
Sanjay Patel - www.gheehappy.com
Sanjay Patel has a very different take on mythology. His illustration style is full of cute geometric vectorized characters and backgrounds. His illustrations are very detailed and uses bright flat colours.
Abhishek Singh - abhiart.blogspot.in
Abhishek Singh is an alumini from NID. His style involves a massive usage of black, with bold dry strokes. His illustrations are very detailed and realistic.
