​Hello Everyone!

I haven't written anything in here for so long as  preoccupied with freelance projects. It sure has been an interesting couple of months,weeks. And it's going to be a busy week for me as I attempt to complete all my current freelance. I absolutely love to illustrate children's books especially of they involve nature and animals! And last few months I have been spending lot of time with various baby animals...Bears...foxes...Otter....koala....and the list is long.........
Some illustrations from the story I finished recently....

​

Here's another book .....Title: Why are Some Animals Less Popular?
Author: Damon Müller
Illustrator: Joyeeta Neogi
Publishing Date: August 2019
Price: 6,99 £
‘Why Are Some Animals Less Popular?’ is the second book
with Dixibooks.... animal series where we enjoy the surprises of the animal kingdom with our children. It’s captivating, intriguing and more importantly, full of surprises. Why? Because we are so sick and tired of listening to the same old animal stories for years. It is a huge world! There are so many animals that live on the land, in the air, and in water.

​I would love to hear from you! Hope you all had a beautiful day! I'll be back next week with some more sketches.Thank you for visiting my illustration site! Have fun exploring and looking at my art work. 

Hello to you All !
A new year is a time for exciting new starts!!!
So 2018 was a bit of a crazy busy year for me. It was a great year for me as an Artist and a children’a book Illustrator, with many exciting opportunities.
Last year I worked on several children’s book illustrations and had a wonderful experience participating in many watercolor art exhibitions. I am so excited that my watercolor work “My garden blooms” got selected for the “Peaceful Golden Heritage 2019” International watercolor art festival in  Myanmar (courtesy IWS  Myanmar). I am super excited about traveling to the beautiful country at end of this month.
​I am sharing here some of my watercolors works!!!

​









​This year my goals are to travel, learn, practice new skills and keep being open to new possibilities and opportunities. It’s always a good idea to look beyond normal responsibilities to diversify, explore new skills and never stop learning.
  I am the New Year……. your next chance at the art of living….. your opportunity to practice what you have learned about life during the last twelve months……all that you sought and didn’t find, waiting for you to search it but with more determination…….All that you dreamed but didn’t dare to do, all that you hoped but did not get, all the faith that you claimed but did not have—these slumber lightly, waiting to be awakened by the touch of a strong purpose.

Hi folks, 
I haven't written anything in here for soooo long as  preoccupied with various freelance projects. Thank you all for hanging around waiting patiently for someone to return to this page and updates!!! So here's just a quick blog post to share a little with you about what has been happening! 

Well, I had a great time working with different clients on lots of books together. I had a chance working  on three books based on African American characters recently. I find it very interesting to work on a diverse group of characters with rich, varied backgrounds. Today kids have a much larger selection of children's books to choose from with brown characters of all shades for them to identify with. Sharing here few illustrations based on African American characters.

Another book illustrations based on multicultural theme. 'The Surprise Inside ' This book is meant for the enjoyment of all kids who are new to being big brothers or big sisters. The rhyming nature of The Surprise Inside makes it fun for all ages.

 Another story "Zuri's family vacation" by Chris & Ray (Author)
 "Zuri ends the school year with no clue as to where she'll be going for her summer vacation, as father decides to pick the family vacation out of a hat. Zuri seems to be having fun on her holiday until she is faced with unexpected obstacles. Zuri has to find the courage to overcome her obstacles and fears in order make sure her holiday doesn't turn into a nightmare.

​Umi and Uma....The perfect children's book for a two mom household, Umi and Uma is the story of two mommies and a baby. Written by two real moms raising a new baby, this story within a story explains to baby Abigail how her two mommies decided to start a family in the far away land of Astrin.

Hello everyone! 
I hope this post finds you all well!
Last week was quite a busy with few completed books before my short refereshing Mumbai trip.
Here's a glance at some of my illustrations from two book completed recently for Anna Digilio.

​A fresh start on a new picture book .
My favorite thing about my job as a children’s book designer and illustrator is, starting to illustrate a new picture book. It’s the fresh beginning of a 2-3 month relationship with new characters that I get to bring to visual life with my pencil/tablet. It’s the excitement and the joy of transforming an author’s manuscript into a colorful picture book.

Today is my first day starting to illustrate a new picture book for an author I have not worked with before. I will read the story several times to get a feel for the mood of the book and to get to know the characters. Once I form clear visual images of the characters in my mind, I can start to put my ideas on paper. I share these early sketches with the author to see if I have captured the personality of their characters.
So doing character illustrations today.... a really very interesting character...will share soon on my next post.Stay tuned! :-) 

Thanks for stopping by!!!
Have a lovely day ahead!

 I had a great time working with Kerry Hall  on her beautiful story about lovely characters.
A heart-warming story of three siblings who all have different needs but have the same desires - to be understood, loved and to be loved. Three year old Jack struggles to understand his sister Rosie and her extra needs. 
The eldest of the sibling trio, Poppy, guides Jack through Rosie's way of living and he soon realises that they are not so dissimilar after all!
Just a few pictures from the book.
