Hello, I'm Raghav Arumugam, an illustrator and character artist originally from New Delhi, India, now soaking up the sun in vibrant Los Angeles, California. My art is bursting with cuteness and energy, crafted by hand digitally on platforms like Photoshop and Procreate. With over a decade of experience in animation, my work is infused with dynamic poses and hilarious expressions, a testament to my animation roots.
Not one to shy away from challenges, I've clinched accolades like the Shorty Award for Social Good and The Red Dot Junior Award, showcasing my versatility in projects ranging from ads for big names like Adult Swim and National Geographic to illustrating captivating children's books. A proud moment for me is directing Ted-Ed lessons, exploring diverse art styles and topics. Clients appreciate my rapid, effective work style and knack for infusing Indian cultural elements into my layouts.
Away from the drawing board, you'll find me reminiscing about my childhood fascination with animated movies, a passion that still drives me today. Whether recreating movie scenes in my sketchbooks or unwinding with hand-whipped iced coffees and cozy TV shows, I cherish every moment of creativity and relaxation. Fun, kind, talented, and prolific, my goal is to leave a mark as an artist who not only entertains but also connects with hearts through memorable characters and stories.
