Whether it is the speaking animals with emotions and expressions in Mowgli, the eternal playful rivalry between the cat and mouse in Tom and Jerry, the fun banter of the quirky cockroaches in Oggi and the Cockroaches, or Popeye the Sailor who motivated us to eat spinach, the fun of watching animated characters is an unbeatable entertainment!

Moreover, in realism and pessimism, these animations carry us into a fun-filled world of fantasy and charm. Having begun with shadow puppetry showcasing folktales and initial experiments by Indian filmmakers like Dadasaheb Phalke with preliminary animation shorts in the early 20^th century, the Indian market for digital art like animation has advanced into a major promising area for the media, advertising and entertainment industry.

This trend can also be attributed to the COVID-19 pandemic, which gave a major spur to the shift towards remote working and digital content for marketing amidst the amassed popularity of animation, pushing the industry to a whopping 114 billion Indian rupee industry in 2023.

However, while people like us love watching animated films, India is witnessing a boom in the artists who enjoy creating such cartoons and animated stories. Whether it is the theme of motivation, comedy nostalgia for personal entertainment or brand promotion, these artists can weave all facets of emotions in their storytelling.

Life is so unpredictable! Or it is life’s way of reminding us that every challenge has its purpose. 

Well…Anshi Bansal’s story is an apt testimony of this aspect of life. Her dissatisfaction and displeasure with fashion designing and later pursuit of a career involving software programs eventually landed her in animation, where she found her ultimate fulfilment. 

Stoned Santa had the pleasure of interviewing Anshi, popularly known to her 72K social media followers as Graphic Glimpses, to seek inspiration from her journey marked by unwavering resilience, unbridled passion and unshakeable self-belief. 

Read on to unravel Anshi’s journey from unpredictability to purpose. 

The Twists and Turns of Life

Anshi was neither fond of drawing in her childhood nor interested in art. However, fast-forward to vacations during class XII, Anshi explored drawing and sketching and developed a love for this field to the extent that she desired to pursue her higher education in this area. Consequently, she pursued a bachelor’s in design (Fashion). 

However, after engaging in Fashion Designing for two years, she realised she was not enjoying it, and the Covid-19 pandemic brought another turn of events. The lockdown and online classes from home gave Anshi the time to contemplate her passion and interests and motivated her to explore graphic design, which she found very interesting. 

Anshi also had a good knowledge of software design and secured a decent job in graphic design. However, after working for nearly a year, she realised it was not fulfilling. ‘Though I was employed, I wasn’t enjoying it, and I knew deep down that I wanted to start my own business or venture’, recalls Anshi. 

Marking it as another turning point in her life, Anshi listened to her heart, took the bold step of quitting her job, and sought a new direction for her passion for art and design. 

Graphic Glimpses Comes to Life

It was just a simple suggestion from Anshi’s sister to post her animation creatives on Instagram, which eventually transformed into a passionate project. 

Anshi began designing short animation reels on themes relating to nostalgic memories, childhood games and childhood moments with family and siblings. Her Instagram bio creatively highlights the essence of these themes through the caption, ‘Taking you back to the good old days’.

Anshi pours her heart and creativity into each animation reel, which has resulted in Graphic Glimpses having 75k followers on Instagram and 3.9k subscribers on YouTube. Her followers love these animations because they relate to their lives and favourite memories, which is Anshi’s fuel for excellence. ‘The love and response I get from my audience is truly amazing’, exclaims Anshi.

Anshi’s Motivations and Milestones

The animation and illustrations by fellow artists such as Cristina Furtado (Potatoface) and Satya (Logokuhe) have motivated Anshi to design more creative artwork.  

Over time, her commitment and hard work gained immense popularity and began attracting freelance projects for individuals and brands. Anshi’s portfolio shines with animation projects designed for Bakingo, Blue Heaven, Insights cosmetics, Frozen Bottle and many more. 

One of the most cherishing moments for her was when Ankita Lokhande, a popular Indian TV actress, shared Anshi’s artwork on Instagram. ‘That was really memorable for me’, recalls Anshi.

Anshi’s Tests and Triumphs

While Anshi is a highly skilled artist, she acknowledges that the real test is to find clients in the highly competitive market. Nevertheless, despite such challenges, she is highly optimistic and devoted to her art. She says, ‘It is still my learning phase, and I aspire to design a full animated series in the coming future. 

Anshi’s journey can be understood as a testament to the power of self-belief. She reflects and states, ‘Last year, I had quit my job to establish myself as a full-time artist and I had no idea where it would go, however, I listened to my heart and believed in myself!’ With this motivation and firm belief in herself, Anshi aspires to keep going and excel. 

While architectural planning and animation storytelling seem far-fetched to us, their core lies in artistic imagination and design. Sanya Jain, an illustrator based in Gurgaon, held on to this core and transitioned from sketching buildings to breathing life into animated characters while fueling her passion for art. 

From sketching to storytelling, Sanya’s The Imagine Pot is an exciting journey of artistic evolution and self-discovery. 

Stoned Santa had the privilege of interviewing Sanya Jain, and the insights gained through this conversation will surely awaken the artist inside you. 

Read on to know more!

Transition from Architectural Designs to Digital Animations

Sanya explored the mesmerizing magic of sketching and drawing at a very young age. Over the years, her passion for designing became more intense and fueled her decision to pursue a career in architecture after graduating in the same field in 2015. 

Although working as an architect gave her several opportunities to execute her creative insights, she felt limited. “I love planning and designing interiors, but I realized that at a point you get so engrossed in meeting deadlines and client requirements that the creativity dies, and only corporate tasks are left”, says Sanya.

The lockdown during the COVID-19 pandemic gave her the time and opportunity to resume her love for pencil sketching and painting. Sanya’s interest in art drew her to experiment with digital art. 

She discovered the Procreate software, researched it, and learned more about digital illustrations and animation. And…amidst the global chaos of the pandemic, Sanya’s rekindled hobby soon blossomed into professional digital art forms!

Forging Identity: Creation of The Imagine Pot

As Sanya gained confidence in her skill, she established her brand, The Imagine Pot, inspired by the idea of a magical pot that stirs and brews imagination. Just as a pot combines ingredients to create something new and delicious, The Imagine Pot combines creativity, skill, and imagination to craft unique and captivating illustrations.

The Imagine Pot is however, more than merely a brand, it is a celebration of creativity, emotions, dreams and ideas, that gave Sanya the platform to explore the endless possibilities of cheerful illustration and captivating animation. 

From experiments with different ideas on digital art and playful reels to professional brand collaborations, The Imagine Pot has given wings to Sanya’s creative pursuits.

An Established Professional in Digital Art

After she transitioned to digital art, Sanya initially began with illustrations. However, fast-forward to today, she has specialized in various professional art forms that range from illustrations for children’s books and marketing and promotional content for brands to personal commissions for invitations and home décors like paintings and portraits. 

Whether it is engaging visuals that capture the attention of young minds, brand stories that engage the consumers, or portraits that depict the client’s persona, Sanya’s illustrations and animations are fueled by her passion for art and spreading happiness through her art. ‘I believe that art can bring joy to people’s lives,’ says Sanya.

Sanya further explains that digital illustrations are versatile and have wide applications from personal wedding cards to big advertisements. However, over time, brands have been demanding animation reels also for social media platforms. 

Sanya’s animation content usually focuses on nostalgia, family relationships and motivational ideas and is designed with careful attention to details, enchanting colour palette and thoughtful narratives. 

Her impressive artwork has drawn several established brands including Groww, Kotak Mahindra Bank, HP, ITC, MG Motors and many more prestigious names for creating animations where brand promotion is creatively blended in artwork with marketing finesse. Sanya also designs playful illustrations for entities like NCERT and Faber-Castell. 

Biggest Pillars of Strength: Parents and Family

During the early days of animation, when Sanya was still skeptical about her professional identity as a digital illustrator, her parents and husband motivated her to leave the job, emphasizing how great she was doing. ‘My parents are my best cheerleaders,’ Sanya claimed with a big smile. 

Their encouragement and unwavering support helped Sanya establish herself as a full-time illustrator and animator, giving her flexibility and time with her baby and family.

While there are several facets of art, for the animator Saksham Chaurasiya, it is not only a lifelong passion but also a means to express his thoughts and emotions about life. Life of Mash, is Saksham’s Instagram page with 100k followers, where you can explore all the funny and relatable animations created by him. A self-taught animator from the heart of India, Madhya Pradesh, he puts all his heart into his artworks to animate the characters and stories in his animations. 

Stoned Santa had the opportunity to interview Saksham Chaurasiya, and learn about his story, and life as an animator.

Let’s dive into Saksham’s journey from rough cartoon paintings to professional animations.

The Humble Beginning of Animation in Saksham’s Life

Saksham had a strong fascination with watching cartoons and painting since childhood. He says, ‘I loved art and drawing cartoons since childhood, but animation was something that I learned through YouTube tutorials and videos.’ 

Despite having been born and brought-up in a small town, Gwalior, Saksham endeavoured to pursue his dream of excelling in animation. He started working in the field of animation from 2022. 

The reluctance of Saksham’s father to trust the relevance of animation in facilitating a sustainable career also created relevant challenges for him early during his journey. However, over the years, seeing the growing popularity of Life of Mash,  his father has started acknowledging his art and giving him adequate encouragement and support.

The Growth of an Animation Artist

Saksham Chaurasiya is highly creative in blending his art with digital tools and devices. He uses the software Krita to enliven his ideas as he works on them frame by frame. His animations are usually focused on themes such as current trends, childhood memories with friends, and his reflective thoughts about life, religion, and comedy, which are meticulously crafted, scripted, designed and refined by him. 

One of the key features to note in his animations is a male character with spectacles and blue attire. He is inspired by his perception of a ‘faltu man’ who is believed to be worthless but tackles various relatable everyday events of life intelligently.  

Saksham’s Formula for Viral Animation Reels: Comedy and Relatability

The uniqueness of Saksham’s animation lies in his characters, humorous and conceptual storytelling. He explains, ‘I want to make people smile, laugh and reflect on life by connecting my content with the moments from everyday lives.’ 

The most popular reel on Life of Mash by Saksham has reached 12.1 Million views, and most of his reels usually get about 5M-6M views each.

At this rate, we won’t be surprised if he grows to a Million followers in a few months.

He also wants to develop excellence in 3D animation and VFX, and to open his own animation studio. His dreams of producing longer videos on YouTube and creating videos focusing on trends, nostalgia, and comedy are something to look forward to. 

Advice for Aspiring Animators: Consistency and Relatability 

Saksham’s advice for aspiring animators is simple yet profound. He says, ‘consistency and creating content that helps the audience to emotionally connect with the content is the key. Also, never stop learning and keep on!’ 

Saksham also acknowledges the unpredictability of social media and asserts that good quality and relatability will always give you an edge! 

From creating cartoons in a small town to aspiring to release his cartoon series, Saksham’s journey of self-belief and resilience is a testament to the power of strong-headed dreams and passion. His story is sure to inspire you to overcome any obstacle in your path.
