Hi, I'm Laxmi.
I draw picture books,
slowly, with a lot of tea nearby..

Open sketchbook with line art drawing of a girl with long hair and a whale-shaped hat, surrounded by colorful star-shaped cutouts.

I make warm yet laughter filled, whimsical illustrations for children's books and editorial. Currently working on writing my very own children’s book.
