About

Hi, I’m Sanika Khodke, a visual development artist and illustrator specializing in children’s books, animation, and comics. I enjoy turning imaginative ideas into polished pre-production artwork, blending traditional and digital techniques using Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, and After Effects.

I’ve collaborated on book illustrations, character design, and concept art for various clients, schools, and studios across Pune, Mumbai, and overseas. I’m curious, collaborative, and comfortable in fast-paced pipelines, from concept to print-ready assets.
