    Discover the Joy of Telling Stories and Reaching People's Hearts with the Power of Animation!

    Before starting animation we will be focusing on the foundation first. We will be covering the basis of drawing techniques leading into storytelling poses, to the animation principles, and how to apply them to any type of action. We will then continue on to understanding facial expressions, staging, and acting. The main focus will be 2D but we can also discuss how these methods apply to 3D and stop motion animation as well.

    If you are looking to learn how to conceptualize for films, or how to animate for cartoons along with drawing for comic books and games, then look no further. I am an Animator and Illustrator, who teaches part-time while managing my own company in Traditional Animation the rest of the time. My team and I work on projects such as music videos, comic books, and concept art for video games, movies, and TV. My personal experience consists of working in commercials, while teaching all aspects of the Animation industry in countries such as the United States, India, and Sri Lanka. Aside from Illustration and 2D Animation my other strengths are Concept art, Character Design, Background Design, Storyboarding, and 3D Animation. My former students have worked in companies such as Electronic Arts (EA Games), Disney, and Zynga. Others have moved forward into managing their own teams in creating animated films, comics, and games. For students who love to draw, who have exciting ideas for the stories they want to share with the world, and who want to move people through motion, and entertainment, this is the class for you.

    Kanishka has helped me a lot when it comes to my drawing skills. I've been doing classes with him for a few months and I feel more confident in my skills as an artist over the time. He's very friendly, patient and supportive. There were many times that I felt originally discouraged in my art but he does a good job with being uplifting and motivating me to continue drawing and guiding me to ways to improve my art.

    A very patient, attentive and easygoing teacher. Doesn't hesitate to give constructive feedback and always specify what needs improving. Also acknowledges the student's improvements and isn't afraid of learning new things from his student as well.
