## About Illustration

### What I Do

I’m Noopur, a visual designer and illustrator. My art is a mix of science, nature, and a bit of dreamy surrealism. I’m obsessed with how womanhood connects with natural patterns and forms. Sometimes it’s all about strong lines and punchy colors, sometimes it’s softer and more introspective. I work both by hand and digitally - starting with ink or gouache, then moving things onto the screen for those detailed touches.

### What My Illustrations Feel Like

- Narrative-driven: Every piece tells a story or dives into a mood - it’s rarely just a pretty picture.
- Surreal, with vibrant colors and intricate patterns.
- Sometimes the work feels like an “emotional ecosystem”, with lots happening beneath the surface.

### How You Can Use My Work

- Editorial illustration for magazines and media - I’ve done artist portraits for music shows and my work’s been featured in big art publications.
- Motion cover art for books, zines, or even podcasts. I can do both static and animated covers, and promo posters too.
- Surreal portrait art for musicians, personal projects, or brands wanting something different.
- Large-scale murals and archival prints for offices or events - I’ve handled mural projects in Chennai and Bangalore, even managing the on-site painting.
- Patterns for textiles or interiors, plus short looping animation GIFs if you want something meditative.

### How I Work

My process is collaborative. I’ll keep you involved from first sketch to final piece, whether it’s a quick digital job or a big mural. I take on commissions globally and love projects that push me to mix things up - from layered paper sculptures to acrylics on wood.

If you’re after illustration that feels a bit offbeat and deeply personal, I’m your person.

## Meet your expert

[Noopur Choksi](https://mytribe.in/cookshop_ruin)

### My story

Hey, I’m Noopur. I get totally lost in drawing out what it means to be a woman, and how that ties in with nature’s wild patterns. My grad thesis at MICA, ‘The nature of being,’ was me connecting womanhood and science with the natural world. Hands-on stuff is my jam - acrylics, pencils, sketchbooks everywhere. But digital art and making things move? Love that too. Seeing my work in places like The New York Times, honestly, it’s wild and humbling.

### My work

- **Visual Design & Illustration Projects**: I create editorial illustrations, posters, book covers, and love jumping into creative collabs.
- **Surreal Feminine & Nature Themes**: My art dives into self-preservation, bioluminescence, and the link between bodies and nature.
- **Mixed Media & Motion Graphics**: I switch between acrylics, color pencils, digital tools, and sometimes add motion graphics for magazines.
- **Editorial & Collaboration Experience**: I’ve worked with Bandcamp Weekly, The New York Times, and on fiction contest posters.
