Featured Doodle Art and Custom Illustrations
A look into my favorite pieces, where Mumbai city life, beloved pets, and your personal stories come together in vibrant ink.
This custom Christmas illustration is one of my favorites. It’s a visual story woven with personal memories, beloved pets, and landmarks, showing how I can bring your world to life on paper.
I love capturing the happy spirit of your furry friends. This custom portrait of a smiling golden retriever shows the joyful, personal style I bring to each pet illustration.
My art is a love letter to Mumbai. This piece brings together the city's icons like the Gateway of India, our famous 'macchiwaalis', and the street animals that I care for deeply.
Meet Ivaan, the dapper cat detective! This is an example of the whimsical and imaginative characters I love to create. Getting a custom pet portrait like this also helps fund my animal rescue work.
Here’s how a custom illustration can look in your home. I provide high-quality digital files, ready for you to print and frame, turning your personal story into a beautiful piece of wall art.
Come see my creative process. This video shows how I digitally hand-draw the vibrant details and colors that make each illustration of Mumbai's bustling streets unique.
My inspiration comes from incredible places, like Jaipur's stunning Patrika Gate. This video shows the step-by-step creation of an architectural doodle, capturing its intricate beauty.
My art is also for the little ones. This "Sky Snuggler" print, featuring a cute koala in a hot air balloon, is perfect for adding a touch of gentle whimsy to a nursery.
About Featured
When I start a new piece, I am not just drawing, I am listening to your story. Whether you want to turn a quiet moment with your pet into a keepsake or capture the energy of a city street, I work closely with you to ensure those tiny, meaningful details are right there on the canvas. Since I provide high-resolution digital files, you have the flexibility to print your illustration on anything from wall art to personal stationery.
My creative process is built around the narrative, mixing bold black outlines with pops of color that bring a scene to life. I often get asked if I can combine different photos, and the answer is yes. I love weaving separate elements, like your favorite childhood home and a current pet, into one cohesive visual diary.
If you are looking at my detailed narrative scenes, expect a 2-3 week process where we collaborate on the hidden details, or 'Easter eggs', that make the piece truly yours. For simpler pet portraits, the turnaround is much faster, usually within a week. I share updates at the sketch and color stages so you feel part of the creation every step of the way.
Every custom portrait, especially the pet illustrations, funds my ongoing work with street animals in Mumbai. You get art that sparks joy, and the streeties get a meal or medical support. It is a win for everyone. If you have an idea that feels a bit messy or unformed, do not worry. Send me a message and we can chat about how to turn those thoughts into a piece of art that lives on your wall.

Hi, I am Ishneet. Fashion design was my start, but doodling is where I found my happy place. My cats are my bosses, Mumbai is my muse, and my art is my way of giving back to the street animals I love.
