The Birthday Surprise – Vaishali Chudasama’s Story for the #6FrameStoryChallenge
9 years ago
The protagonist this time round is not a dragon or a dinosaur- it’s a grasshopper! Doesn’t Vaishali Chudasama’s story have a nice, holiday feel to it? We are impressed with her simple yet vivid strokes that will appeal to a wide range of readers!
Vaishali had some lovely words to say about the challenge-
“I participated in the #6FrameStoryChallenge because I found it very interesting and specially this is for children. As an illustrator I love to create illustrations for kids. This Challenge is a really nice concept- it’s interesting, challenging & fun to work on. The best thing about it is that this is for kids and goodwill. I like to thank Pratham books for such a competition. It’s really good, helpful and inspiring for artists.”
(Vaishali has had experience with 2D animation, 3D maya & VFX (Visual Effects) since the past year. She currently works as a freelance illustration artist. Her work can be viewed here:
