In our studio sessions, we start with these fundamental exercises because they force you to stop drawing what you think you see and start drawing what is actually there, which is the exact mindset examiners look for in NID and NIFT aptitude tests. At Advik Art and Design, we believe that advanced design starts with simple habits. If you can master the relationship between positive and negative space, you have already won half the battle in any design entrance exam. Our approach at our Sector 37, Noida studio is purely practical. We avoid heavy theory in favor of live demonstrations and constant sketching. Whether it is a bottle, a kettle, or a complex geometric form, we break it down into manageable shapes so you are not overwhelmed by the final drawing. ### Why Shape and Form matter Design entrance exams like the NID CAT and NIFT GAT test your lateral thinking and observational skills. A strong composition relies on balance, proportion, and weight. We help you build these skills through repetitive, hands-on practice. ### Personalized Feedback Unlike crowded coaching centers, I keep my batches small. This allows me to look at your work, point out where your perspective is slipping, and show you how to fix it immediately. ### Structured Progression We move from basic 2D shape studies to complex 3D form building, ensuring you have the portfolio-ready skills needed for both the written exams and the studio tests. You also have the option to earn a Pracheen Kala Kendra affiliated certification while you train with us. ## About Advik Art and Design I'm Prabuddha Das. After graduating from NID Ahmedabad, I started this studio to do things differently—no generic tutorials, just real, hands-on practice. I work directly with you to break down complex design principles into exercises that actually make sense, whether you are prepping for an entrance exam or just finding your own style.
