I keep the lines strong and the satire sharp, whether it is for a newspaper column, a website, or a personal project that needs a bit of witty, hand-drawn punch. When I sit down to draw an editorial cartoon, I am not just looking for a likeness, I am looking for the subtext. You might have seen my work commenting on events like the Janta Curfew or viral news clips like the 'thain-thain' encounter story. I believe the best commentary uses humour to make a point that standard reporting sometimes misses. ### The Hindi Factor I find that cartoons with Hindi text connect better with our audience. *Apni bhasha mein baat alag hi hoti hai* (things hit differently in our own language). It brings an authenticity that resonates deeper than English captions. ### My Process Whether it is a single-panel piece for a blog or a series for a publication, I start with a simple pencil sketch to capture the expression. I focus on 'old-school' ink work with strong lines and real expressions. I do not use digital filters or AI shortcuts; this is pure hand-drawn hustle. ### What I Offer * **Editorial Illustrations:** Reacting to government policies, news cycles, and social issues. * **Commemorative Art:** Tributes for public figures or historical characters. * **Custom Concepts:** If you have a specific topic for a presentation, newsletter, or editorial piece, I can bring that satire to life. * **Digital & Physical:** I provide high-res digital scans or physical ink-on-paper work, depending on where your cartoon is going to live. Let’s get the conversation started. If you have an idea, let me know, and we can sketch out a draft. ## About SKD I am SKD. I started by fixing torn book pages in my village and never let that passion for art die. I spent years in Delhi as an editorial cartoonist, and today, I use that same hand-drawn style to capture the irony and humour in the world around us.
