The latest work I have done has been with Katha Publications. I worked as a children's book illustrator along with my colleague. We worked on a wordless book called "Maari and the Sea of Adventure." The book is to be a set of zines, where my colleague worked on the front (folded) spreads and I worked on the back (full spreads). These spreads on the back were to be informative and spread knowledge about something in the story. the process followed for every spread was reserach-thumbnails- pencils- colour. The work was done entirely on Photoshop.
The brief for the following illustration (28* 18 ") was to represent diel migration, a phenomenon when sea creatures who live in the twilight zone rise to the surface of the ocean to feed at night.
The brief for the following illustration (28* 18 ") was Olive Ridley Migration, where Olive Ridley turtles hatch as babies on a particular beach, then make their way into the ocean, where they live out most their lives, and then return to the very same beach to nest as adults.
The brief for the following illustration (28* 18 ") was fun facts about octopuses. There were two versions of this- one as the large poster, and the other as flashcards.
The brief for the following illustration (28* 18 ") was fun facts about humpback whales. There were two versions of this- one as the large poster, and the other as flashcards.
The brief for the following illustration (28* 18 ") was to illustrate the back story of the main character- Maari.
