| The story selected was a folk tale
based in Mogul India. This gave me an opportunity to carry out a considerable
amount of research, trying to understand design stylization, colour
utilization, importance of negative space, costumes and all such elements
which give traditional paintings, be it Persian, Mogul or even the
Rajasthani cloth paintings, its rich character. While designing this
puppet I combined this information with my understanding of the cartoon
image. |
