When you look at these sketches, you’re seeing the messy, honest experiments that eventually turn into the pottery or prints you see elsewhere in my studio. When I sit down with my sketchbook, there’s no pressure to get it right. It’s just me, some ink, and whatever memory is soothing me that day. People often ask why I share these raw, unfinished pages. Honestly, because art shouldn't always be a polished final product. Whether it’s a quick floral study in watercolor or a pen doodle about 'finding your place,' this collection is where the real work begins. I use these pages to play with techniques—mixing procreate layers for digital art, or keeping it tactile with watercolor washes on textured paper. If you connect with a sketch here—maybe a landscape of a 'pahaad wale ghar' (mountain house) or a simple study of a vase—we can absolutely turn it into a finished print or a custom commission for your home. These sketches are the DNA of my larger projects, and seeing them gives you a better sense of how I bring a vibe or a feeling to life. ## About Malvika I’m Malvika. I spend most of my days with clay, charcoal, or my iPad, trying to capture little memories—like the way light hits a quiet reading corner or the flowers in my mother’s garden. Everything you see here is a piece of my daily practice, a little unfiltered look at how I think.
