A while back, while building my portfolio, I started sketching a character inspired by Sarla Thakral, India’s first woman pilot.

I could only find one reference photo of her online, which made the process quite challenging, but also more rewarding. :D

Children’s book illustration of a scene at a county fair. In them magic can background are rides and buildings, silhouetted against an evening sky. In the foreground is a stack of straw bales. A boy sits on top of the bales, sharing his cotton candy with a prize winning goat. A little girl is lying on her back on top of the bales, playing with a teddy bear. Dad is sitting slouched against the base of the bales, dozing. His foot has knocked over a bucket of popcorn, and a prizewinning pig is munching on it. Two big trees frame the scene, and the whole painting is done in shades of blue, purple, and pink, emphasizing the evening light.

Hello #kidlitartpostcard 🌞

This card is a tribute to the bright pink rubber sandals from my childhood; they were perfect for playing around the rockpools.

By the way, rocks are one of my favourite things to draw 😊

Alt: Brown girl sitting on the rocks, by a tidal pool, looking a bit unsure at an orange crab that is pointing its claw at her. She has her feet inside the water and is wearing a red two-piece swimsuit and bright pink water shoes.
