Presenting the cover of Fascinating Maharajas of India: Twenty-five Princely States and Their Extraordinary Stories. Designed by Gina James (@ginghames ), it's a striking tribute to India’s regal past, echoing the grandeur, drama, and legacy of its princely states.
With gorgeously illustrated palaces, portraits, and priceless artefacts by Priyanka Tampi (@tampipriyanka ), the pages come alive with the quirky and extravagant lives of maharajas, who not only indulged in opulence but also implemented reforms for their people and established the groundwork for the development of modern India.
Sample illustration for a project that didn’t work out in the end. Had fun drawing the deodar trees and imagining pleasant afternoons after school.

Discovering Dinosaurs is a humorous book of dinosaur facts written by @anjalialappat . Illustrating dinosaurs of all shapes and sizes was really fun and it was great having @sindhuraravindra guide me through it.
It is the first picture book I’ve illustrated and I’m glad I got the opportunity to work with @pratham.books .
You can check out the book on Pratham Books online platform StoryWeaver.

(1/4) Isabel meets an enormous bear.
Based on The Adventures of Isabel, a poem by Ogden Nash.
I learned this poem for a poetry recitation in school and years later I still remember it. It’s a funny tale about a girl named Isabel who doesn’t worry, scream or scurry when faced with scary situations but calmly deals with them.
