Illustrator · Lucknow, India
Hi, I'm Laxmi.
I draw picture books,
slowly, with a lot of tea nearby..
I make warm yet laughter filled, whimsical illustrations for children's books and editorial. Currently working on writing my very own children’s book.
How do I know when it's right?
I don't, at first. I just keep going, adjusting, erasing, trying again. Most illustrations go through ten versions no one ever sees. The one you love is just the one I decided to stop at.
For me, It’s magical.
You hate the rain?
It's the only time the world slows down enough for me to catch up.
This is what that looks like.
A LITTLE ABOUT ME..
I grew up somewhere loud and
colorful and completely alive.
Big family. Too many people. An imagination I carried around but never really opened, until 2023, when I accidentally walked into the world of children's books and illustration.
I didn't know that world existed. Turns out, it had been waiting for me.
