About Me

My photo
My name is Rashi. I have been sketching ever since i learnt that a pencil leaves a mark on the paper. Sketching animals is what i love doing the most. Dogs, horses, dragons and other mythical beasts are my favourites. I am available for hire for freelance work of illustrations,graphic designing, character designing, storyboarding, etc.

I just had to make a fan art of Paprika! :D

The only thing missing was a handsome dude..the one who was good looking died. Thats like so unfair! D":

A Narrow Escape

I was cleaning up my cupboard a few days back and i stumbled across one of my old sketchbooks. On one of the pages, i saw i had scribbled up a dog chasing a fox because it wanted to eat a pie. I opened up photoshop and made this short comic..i changed the ending and i changed the fox into a coyote.
Been working on this since 2 days.
:)
And now i really want to eat something sweet...

Budgies-life drawing

I have around 10 budgies as my pets right now(used to have 20) since 7 years now. They were eating their dinner and i decided to make their sketches.

They are so naughty!..i have holes in my tee-shirts because of them!..and mom wont buy me more..sadness :(

Tiger's Sanctuary

One of my most treasured works. I spent days working on this one.

I wish i could sleep like him..he is at peace..i wish all tigers can live in peace..they are such beautiful, majestic creatures.

I want a big poster of this in my room..:(

Red Panda

Done using Color pencils...i should try more of traditional media, no?

Depressed dog

A quick sketch of a sad golden retriever..
i think i am becoming obsessed with this breed!...a few months back, i went ga-ga over the cocker spaniel..

Hope y'all like it! :)

Expressions-1

A character concept i was working on long back, but scrapped it.
These were sketched on paper :)

Hope y'all like it!

Horse Portrait-1

Horse Portrait made with pencil. I have been making such portraits since a long time. I usually gift them to friends and family. Some of my sketches were put up for auction at "The Terry Fox Foundation" held by the Canadian High Commission several years ago.
If you would like to gift someone similar animal portraits and sketches, do mail me. They make wonderful gifts :)

The miscreant Mittens and her elder brother Max

Mittens the kitten loves to annoy Max the golden retriever. Its her favorite thing to do. She keeps looking out for new ways to trouble poor Max. Her curiosity sometimes lands her in trouble, but Max is always there to save the day. Their relationship is just like that of a brother and sister. Max, being the brother, is always there for Mittens. Even though he is the victim of most of Mittens' pranks, he secretly loves it!

More Mittens and Max artworks to come up soon
Hope y'all like it! :)

The Little Painter

I'm sure this scene is similar to everybody. When we were kids, we loved to paint on the wall( and parents hated it)!..i used to do something like this when i was a kid. My poor walls had sketch-pen marks on them. My parents tried a lot to make me use a paper but that huge wall was always more appealing! hahaha!
