Neelesh Kumar origami
— Indian, Bharatian (or, surely more correct, Bharati) origamist Neelesh Kumar generally produces quite complex models, favoring as subjects: human figures, cartoon characters, mythical, historical, symbolical personalities and figures, legendary deities and eidetic themes, as paperfolding subjects as well..., most often using box-pleating folding techniques and procedures (for example, in an, one uncut square, he makes a Hindu goddess, Saraswati –or Sarasvati–, with a crown on head, standing on a swan, himself perched or seated on a lotus and deploying feathered wings..., with four arms, holding the hands a rosary, an instrument of music called Veena, in some linguistic idiom of भारत, India, a book and a raised one giving blessings! Here's another example: www.flickr.com/photos/neeleshk/30601033245/in/dateposted/; and here's the Saraswati goddess: www.flickr.com/photos/neeleshk/49131040931/in/dateposted/).
— The model I tried to assemble, schematically, from an easy printed out ± 19×19 cm crease pattern is one of a few simple ones he created: a human figure of an athlete.
— It must be hard to make a complete shape: many details are not in the drawn pattern (the eyes, the nose, the mouth, the ears, the hairstyle, the T-shirt, the pants & the sneakers...); but visible on the photos of his folded model.
— It would be very interesting, as an exercise or a study, to (try to) do, separately and by portions of his C.P., with distinct large pieces of paper, some parts (Hideo Komatsu did it, lecturing his –one uncut square– Girls B. P., origamiplans.hatenablog.jp/entry/20080518/jabaragirl12)/origamiplans.hatenablog.jp/entry/20090822/GBP14:
1.– Head/face/neck (I'm sure, at this part, the very detailed human faces designed by Daniel Chang will aid a lot, www.flickr.com/photos/mitanei/28533514188/in/faves-163566...);
2.– Arms/hands/fingers;
3.– Legs/pants/shoes.
— By agreeing and risking to have a few headaches during the folding/shaping process! But by adding pleats to the square pattern, or by grafting it, it could be less hard to get some shape and clean fold of the designer's model.
— Don't repeet my error using a black & white c. p.; use his published one drawn with mountain and valley folds in two different colours.
I admire the folders who had already dared to give shapes to this crease pattern (the author in the first place and 2 other great folders –Daniel Xu and Sandro Pires– I have known; as far as I know).
