Hello, I’m a children's book illustrator with 15 years of experience and my name is Ananta Mohanta.
I was born and spent of my life 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 develop a unique style and voice in my illustrations.honestly feeling proud I'm children book illustrator.
Honestly single word is, ‘’I LOVE TO DRAW’ ’when I was 18+then I will go to Art collage,and pass out the Art collage,
, and focus in my carrier. 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 something was missing for me. So, I realized that I want to try new traditional materials. after that I will learn Digital art or painting and start illustrating children's books .
