Custom Digital Illustration and Portrait Art
Hey, I am Mallika. This gallery is a peek into my digital sketchbook, where I turn your favourite memories, dreams, and characters into warm, Disney-inspired illustrations.

About Featured
My process is super collaborative, so you are never just getting a generic file. I start with rough sketches where we nail the mood and composition together, and I only move to final rendering once you are completely happy with the direction. Whether you want a dreamy Disney-style portrait or a custom character design, I am here to make sure the final piece captures exactly what you envisioned.
I am a UX designer by day and an illustrator by night, creating art that feels personal and expressive. My style is defined by warm lighting, soft aesthetics, and a focus on capturing the emotion behind a moment. When you commission a piece, you are not just getting a drawing; you are getting a story.
How I Work
I want the process to be as fun as the result. After we discuss your idea, I send over rough sketches to make sure the character poses and background elements work for you. From there, I refine the details, add those signature textures, and deliver high-resolution files ready for printing or digital sharing. If you have an idea that is a little hatke (quirky), I am always game to try something new.
Types of Commissions
- Couple & Wedding Art: These are perfect for anniversaries or gifts. I focus on semi-realistic likenesses and can even include hand-lettered names or dates.
- Character Design: Whether it is reimagining a nostalgic brand mascot or creating an original character for a storybook, I love bringing concepts to life.
- Commercial Projects: I have worked with brands like Netflix and Redbull to create visuals that stand out. If you are a brand looking for custom illustrations or social media assets, let’s chat.
I primarily work on my iPad, allowing me to be flexible with styles, from cute and cartoonish to detailed semi-realism. If you are ready to start, check out my package details below or drop me a message on WhatsApp, and we can start brainstorming.
