About Character Design for Brands
Why Character Design Matters
A character puts heart into a brand. It’s not just art, it’s a little buddy for your audience. I’m all about making something that feels playful but still sticks in people’s minds. A good character can make folks say, “Ayyo, this is cool!” and remember your brand for ages.
Projects That Make Me Smile
Designing Aiyyo Shradha’s cartoon mini-me for her world tour was a blast. Creating an expressive avatar that showed off her vibe, and then seeing it on posters everywhere - honestly, tumbane channagi barthide (it’s coming out super well). That’s the kind of energy I want for your brand too.
What I Offer
- Cartoon avatars for marketing - great for socials, profiles, or making your team stand out.
- Custom brand mascot - I can turn any idea, even a mop, into a memorable character.
- Unique character illustration for campaigns, posters, or digital ads. If you have a wild concept or need something to explain a tricky idea, I’m up for it.
My Style & How I Work
I usually go with cute and colourful cartoons, clean line art, or full digital paintings. Most of my work happens on my iPad with Procreate. The process is simple: you share your idea, I sketch it out, we refine it together, and then I bring it to life with colour.
I like keeping things fun and collaborative. If you want your brand to have a face people won’t forget, let’s make it happen.

My Story
Nanna hesaru Ravi. Artist from Karnataka, always doodling faces - sometimes Appu, sometimes Dr. Rajkumar, sometimes your chikkamma (aunt). Kannada roots run deep in my sketches. I love catching that surprise smile when someone sees their own cartoon. 'Eshtu cute agide idu!' (So cute, this!) - that's what I live for. Drawing is not just my job, it’s my way of celebrating our people and moments. Little magic, little fun.
My Work
Live Caricature for Events - I sketch guests on-the-spot at weddings, birthdays, or office parties. Quick, fun, and makes everyone laugh. Real keepsake.
Digital Caricatures & Cartoon Design - I make digital caricatures and cartoon characters for gifts, profiles, or branding. Used iPad and Procreate. Fast and expressive.
Custom Sketches & Paintings - Anything from tribute art to personal sketches, inspired by Kannada culture. I draw kids, elders, anyone who wants a happy memory.
