What are the principles to be successful?
Whatever profession you are in, until one does proper research on the required subject it’s not possible to move ahead in your career, if your basics are clear your journey will be very easy.
How was your journey after re-joining the calligraphy?
I was given a list of things to work on, even though in the start my calligraphy work was not that well but I was supported by my seniors, though with time I got more interesting assignments in many Indian languages. The most important thing is to create such an art form which would satisfy the client at the same time you have the opportunity to make some innovation in the given assignment. Adapt with time to try out new things, be versatile Never stop experimenting with things around you.
Due to Covid Pandemic, digital art has come to the mainstream public, young people should learn multiple art forms be it traditional form or the new. The field of art is very vast, one must keep exploring it. Personally I keep trying out new things, I love experimenting with new things in calligraphy. My suggestion to all young aspiring designers is to right down your ideas on which you can work in near future. Tips for beginners I, advice young designers to start small with armature material don’t use professional designer’s pens and other art material. Practice for minimum for 10 minutes a day for building a good rhythm for calligraphy. The more you practice the better it gets.
Difference between Calligraphy and writing
These are both difference practices, calligraphy is an art which require patience while writing can showcase ones emotional state. Before entering the world of calligraphy young kids should first hold the pen or pencil with a steady hand.
What is your Vision about Calligraphy?
Calligraphy as a medium to communicate with great emotion, what a hand written note does digital text cannot as it carries the writer’s real expression and true emotions. The amalgamation of calligraphy and digital design is the future.
