This playful illustration narrates a vibrant scene from a children's story created for NCERT children magazine.
Inspired by local narratives and landscapes, it captures the lively interaction between Munni and mischievous monkeys in Sikkim's charming setting.
Each element in this illustration was meticulously sketched by hand and then carefully painted using watercolor.
The precise technique brought warmth and life to every character and environmental detail.
After painting, the elements were individually cut and thoughtfully arranged in multiple layers.
This technique provided depth and a playful three-dimensional feel to the final illustration.
On-location Creative Workshops by NCERT
This project was part of an innovative approach by NCERT, where illustrators participated in on-location workshops to authentically capture local settings, culture, and stories. By immersing artists directly in the environment, the resulting illustrations became a genuine reflection of the places depicted, offering young readers relatable and culturally-rich visual narratives.
