Children’s Book Illustrator Ananta Mohanta: About Me

Hello, I’m Ananta Mohanta, a children’s book illustrator with 15 years of experience. I was born and brought up in West Bengal, India. But now live in a Barasat city with my family.When I was a child, probably, like all children, I loved to draw. But I never thought that I would connect my life with an illustration artist like  illustrating children’s books  .And I thought that I would not be able to become an artist, much fewer a children’s books illustrator. In addition, the adults next to me often said that you can’t earn a living by drawing. Maybe you great to hear that I’ve been drawing since childhood. It’s clear that art has been a lifelong passion for me. Developing my skills from a young age has likely helped me to develop a unique style and voice in my illustrations.Honestly, I feel myself proud to a children book illustrator.

Honestly, in a single word, “I LOVE TO DRAW” when I was 18, I joined to Art collage,and pass out from the Art collage,and devorted my life into illustration. At the very beginning of my journey, I drew with a simple pencil on ordinary paper, and many medium, like water color, pencil stroke ,inking, oil in canvas, Acrylic, and manual illustrating children’s books e.t.c but somewhere in my mind I always felt that something was missing for me. So, I realized that I should try new traditional materials. After that I learnt Digital art or painting and start children’s book illustrations.
