Kerala Girl Digital Doodle Art: 10-year-old Thejaswi Abhilash has registered her name in the India Book of Records and Asia Book of Records for being the youngest in India and in Asia to create digital doodle art on iPad in 59 seconds.
What inspired her for the same? Well, she saw her uncle Arjun drawing assignments on his iPad. Inspired by his uncle who is a student at National Institute of Fashion Technology, the Thrissur-native also expressed her desire to give it a try. Initially, she found it difficult to draw on the digital illustration application - Procreate but mastered the whole process gradually.
In an interview, she credited her success to her uncle adding that she was fascinated by seeing him draw on an iPad using a pencil-like tool. She is a class V student of Sree Sarada Vidyalaya Senior Secondary School, Kalady.
Her mother advised her to attempt this record. In a bid to create the record, she trained herself to finish doodling within 30 to 40 seconds. She wants to become a fashion designer cum instructor at their own Fashion Institute in Angamaly.
According to her mother, she wants to explore digital illustrations including animation and then create another record. She also added that doesn't do it to pass her time. Instead, it is a serious affair for her.
Another heart-warming story comes from Kozhikode where a young woman painted the seven wonders of the world in 12 minutes with Mehndi on hand. With this, she got her name registered into the Asian Book of Records and India Book of Records. Interestingly, she is not a trained artist but it is her love for drawing that keeps her going. She is now prepping up for Guinness World Records.
