Top 10 Animation Artists Redefining Digital Art in India

Whether it is the speaking animals with emotions and expressions in Mowgli, the eternal playful rivalry between the cat and mouse in Tom and Jerry, the fun banter of the quirky cockroaches in Oggi and the Cockroaches, or Popeye the Sailor who motivated us to eat spinach, the fun of watching animated characters is an unbeatable entertainment!

Moreover, in realism and pessimism, these animations carry us into a fun-filled world of fantasy and charm. Having begun with shadow puppetry showcasing folktales and initial experiments by Indian filmmakers like Dadasaheb Phalke with preliminary animation shorts in the early 20th century, the Indian market for digital art like animation has advanced into a major promising area for the media, advertising and entertainment industry.

This trend can also be attributed to the COVID-19 pandemic, which gave a major spur to the shift towards remote working and digital content for marketing amidst the amassed popularity of animation, pushing the industry to a whopping 114 billion Indian rupee industry in 2023.

However, while people like us love watching animated films, India is witnessing a boom in the artists who enjoy creating such cartoons and animated stories. Whether it is the theme of motivation, comedy nostalgia for personal entertainment or brand promotion, these artists can weave all facets of emotions in their storytelling.

MouseinBubble: Abhishree’s Journey from Doodles to Digital Stardom

Just like Nayanthara is the enigmatic “Lady Superstar” of South Indian cinema, Abhishree of MouseinBubble, also from South India is a trailblazing force in animation, rising as a top female animator by capturing hearts with her creativity and passion in the digital world.

Abhishree’s story shows how following one’s passion and continuous hard work can turn a hobby of creative doodling into something so extraordinary. She started her animation journey in 2021, by creating an Instagram page called MouseinBubble, which now has a whopping 200K followers and is increasing every single day. 

Just like many of us, she completed her graduation with a specialization in Fashion Technology. This course gave her exposure to graphic design and helped her use it as a creative outlet. Little did she know that this would give her a grand entry into the world of animation – a passion that has truly ignited her career.

 

MouseinBubble Collaboration with Xiaomi

Because of the love showered by her followers, Abhishree has gained popularity, a testament to her sheer determination and hard work. She has learned the art of animation by watching countless YouTube tutorials, and her strong foundation in doodling gave her the edge to master the craft swiftly. These nitty-gritty are evident in her animations, which are loved by the audience, including the team at Stoned Santa.

Abhishree has collaborated with major brands like Xiaomi, Coca-Cola, Swiggy, and Snapchat, creating animations and engaging in influencer marketing to enhance the brands’ Digital presence. 

Her creative content has been showcased across various platforms, resonating with diverse audiences.

For Instance, in her collaboration with Coca-Cola, Abhishree partnered with their “Create Real Magic” campaign, encouraging audiences to craft personalized AI-generated Christmas cards for friends and family, thereby spreading holiday cheer and promoting the brand’s innovative AI tool. 

Similarly, in her collaboration with Xiaomi India, she showcased the capabilities of the Redmi Pad Pro 5G in her behind-the-scenes content creation titled “Art in Motion” where she demonstrated how the device’s feature enhances digital artistry.

Through this reel, Abhishree highlighted how Redmi Pad Pro 5G serves as a versatile tool for artists, aligning with Xiaomi’s “Go Anywhere, Pro Everything” ethos.

What makes Abhishree’s work truly stand out? Is it the engaging content, the captivating animation, or the perfect blend of both? 

Let’s unravel the journey of MouseinBubble, exploring its inspiring story and the meaning behind its unique brand name.

MouseinBubble Favourite Childhood Memory

From Childhood Doodles to Discovering Her Passion

Abhishree’s love affair with art started when she was just a kid!

As a child, she loved sketching and doodling on the back pages of her notebooks, and those little doodles were not just random drawings but were the first steps to discovering her passion for art and illustrations. 

This passion for drawing became the foundation of something beautiful. Little did she know that these playful doodles would one day lead her to a moment of inspiration, where she would create a brand name for her doodling characters.

Family Encouragement Sparked Abhishree’s Artistic Journey

Abhishree’s family played an instrumental role in supporting her at every step of her creative journey. Their belief in her potential was so profound that they even suggested she consider an art career, a path that led to the creation of MouseinBubble. 

Her brother too played a big role by encouraging her to share her work on social media, and that suggestion has come a long way since.

As they say, ‘A brother’s helping hand, even in playful mode, often leads to the greatest outcomes in unexpected ways.” This is so true and evident in Abhishree’s journey from doodling to fame in MouseinBubble.

 

 

MouseinBubble Brand Name Inspiration

The Story Behind The Name MouseinBubble:

The name ‘MouseinBubble’ has a deep meaning for Abhishree as she shares the story behind the brand name. “Life, to her is like a bubble – fragile yet beautiful, full of endless possibilities. The idea struck her while looking at a calendar with an image of Lord Ganesha and his mouse. 

It instantly made her realize that her art lives in its bubble of imagination-safe and limitless! This is so true that we often see her animations revolving around her family, sometimes mom, and dad, and squabbling with her siblings which are so relatable to our day-to-day life.

This moment of inspiration perfectly mirrors the sentiment: 

The best ideas come when you least expect them, but they arrive exactly when you need them the most.

For Abhishree, MouseinBubble is a little reminder to  herself of the things she is grateful for like journaling her thoughts.

Through her brand, she shares stories that resonate deeply with the audience by capturing everything from playful sibling banter to touching portrayals of mother-daughter, and father-daughter bonds. One of her most popular reels, with over 5 million views, highlights the realization that adulthood often reveals your mom being the most reliable best friend. 

These relatable animations have earned her a following of over 200K and have led to work with a diverse array of clients like Coca-Cola, Xiaomi, and Snapchat by blending her creative finesse with marketing insights.

Graphic Glimpses by Anshi: An Artist’s Inspiring Journey

Graphic Glimpses by Anshi: An Artist’s Inspiring Journey

Life is so unpredictable! Or it is life’s way of reminding us that every challenge has its purpose. 

Well…Anshi Bansal’s story is an apt testimony of this aspect of life. Her dissatisfaction and displeasure with fashion designing and later pursuit of a career involving software programs eventually landed her in animation, where she found her ultimate fulfilment. 

Stoned Santa had the pleasure of interviewing Anshi, popularly known to her 72K social media followers as Graphic Glimpses, to seek inspiration from her journey marked by unwavering resilience, unbridled passion and unshakeable self-belief. 

Read on to unravel Anshi’s journey from unpredictability to purpose. 

Father-daughter relationship animation

The Twists and Turns of Life

Anshi was neither fond of drawing in her childhood nor interested in art. However, fast-forward to vacations during class XII, Anshi explored drawing and sketching and developed a love for this field to the extent that she desired to pursue her higher education in this area. Consequently, she pursued a bachelor’s in design (Fashion). 

However, after engaging in Fashion Designing for two years, she realised she was not enjoying it, and the Covid-19 pandemic brought another turn of events. The lockdown and online classes from home gave Anshi the time to contemplate her passion and interests and motivated her to explore graphic design, which she found very interesting. 

Anshi also had a good knowledge of software design and secured a decent job in graphic design. However, after working for nearly a year, she realised it was not fulfilling. ‘Though I was employed, I wasn’t enjoying it, and I knew deep down that I wanted to start my own business or venture’, recalls Anshi. 

Marking it as another turning point in her life, Anshi listened to her heart, took the bold step of quitting her job, and sought a new direction for her passion for art and design. 

Animation on conversations with mother

Graphic Glimpses Comes to Life

It was just a simple suggestion from Anshi’s sister to post her animation creatives on Instagram, which eventually transformed into a passionate project. 

Anshi began designing short animation reels on themes relating to nostalgic memories, childhood games and childhood moments with family and siblings. Her Instagram bio creatively highlights the essence of these themes through the caption, ‘Taking you back to the good old days’.

Anshi pours her heart and creativity into each animation reel, which has resulted in Graphic Glimpses having 75k followers on Instagram and 3.9k subscribers on YouTube. Her followers love these animations because they relate to their lives and favourite memories, which is Anshi’s fuel for excellence. ‘The love and response I get from my audience is truly amazing’, exclaims Anshi.

Anshi’s Motivations and Milestones

The animation and illustrations by fellow artists such as Cristina Furtado (Potatoface) and Satya (Logokuhe) have motivated Anshi to design more creative artwork.  

Over time, her commitment and hard work gained immense popularity and began attracting freelance projects for individuals and brands. Anshi’s portfolio shines with animation projects designed for Bakingo, Blue Heaven, Insights cosmetics, Frozen Bottle and many more. 

Animation reel on school memories

One of the most cherishing moments for her was when Ankita Lokhande, a popular Indian TV actress, shared Anshi’s artwork on Instagram. ‘That was really memorable for me’, recalls Anshi.

Anshi’s Tests and Triumphs

While Anshi is a highly skilled artist, she acknowledges that the real test is to find clients in the highly competitive market. Nevertheless, despite such challenges, she is highly optimistic and devoted to her art. She says, ‘It is still my learning phase, and I aspire to design a full animated series in the coming future

Anshi’s journey can be understood as a testament to the power of self-belief. She reflects and states, ‘Last year, I had quit my job to establish myself as a full-time artist and I had no idea where it would go, however, I listened to my heart and believed in myself!’ With this motivation and firm belief in herself, Anshi aspires to keep going and excel.

Anshi’s story inspires anyone reluctant to pursue their passion. For her, the path to success is a bumpy ride but full of endless possibilities, and if you believe in yourself, you can do it! With her animations stirring nostalgic moments and bringing smiles, Anshi’s journey confirms how integrating passion and perseverance is the key to success.

The Imagine Pot: An Architect’s Impressive Leap into Animation  

While architectural planning and animation storytelling seem far-fetched to us, their core lies in artistic imagination and design. Sanya Jain, an illustrator based in Gurgaon, held on to this core and transitioned from sketching buildings to breathing life into animated characters while fueling her passion for art. 

From sketching to storytelling, Sanya’s The Imagine Pot is an exciting journey of artistic evolution and self-discovery. 

Stoned Santa had the privilege of interviewing Sanya Jain, and the insights gained through this conversation will surely awaken the artist inside you. 

Read on to know more!

Gossips with Maa Animation

Transition from Architectural Designs to Digital Animations

Sanya explored the mesmerizing magic of sketching and drawing at a very young age. Over the years, her passion for designing became more intense and fueled her decision to pursue a career in architecture after graduating in the same field in 2015. 

Although working as an architect gave her several opportunities to execute her creative insights, she felt limited. “I love planning and designing interiors, but I realized that at a point you get so engrossed in meeting deadlines and client requirements that the creativity dies, and only corporate tasks are left”, says Sanya.

The lockdown during the COVID-19 pandemic gave her the time and opportunity to resume her love for pencil sketching and painting. Sanya’s interest in art drew her to experiment with digital art. 

She discovered the Procreate software, researched it, and learned more about digital illustrations and animation. And…amidst the global chaos of the pandemic, Sanya’s rekindled hobby soon blossomed into professional digital art forms!

Forging Identity: Creation of The Imagine Pot

As Sanya gained confidence in her skill, she established her brand, The Imagine Pot, inspired by the idea of a magical pot that stirs and brews imagination. Just as a pot combines ingredients to create something new and delicious, The Imagine Pot combines creativity, skill, and imagination to craft unique and captivating illustrations.

The Imagine Pot is however, more than merely a brand, it is a celebration of creativity, emotions, dreams and ideas, that gave Sanya the platform to explore the endless possibilities of cheerful illustration and captivating animation. 

From experiments with different ideas on digital art and playful reels to professional brand collaborations, The Imagine Pot has given wings to Sanya’s creative pursuits.

An Established Professional in Digital Art

After she transitioned to digital art, Sanya initially began with illustrations. However, fast-forward to today, she has specialized in various professional art forms that range from illustrations for children’s books and marketing and promotional content for brands to personal commissions for invitations and home décors like paintings and portraits. 

Whether it is engaging visuals that capture the attention of young minds, brand stories that engage the consumers, or portraits that depict the client’s persona, Sanya’s illustrations and animations are fueled by her passion for art and spreading happiness through her art. ‘I believe that art can bring joy to people’s lives,’ says Sanya.

Sanya further explains that digital illustrations are versatile and have wide applications from personal wedding cards to big advertisements. However, over time, brands have been demanding animation reels also for social media platforms. 

Sanya’s animation content usually focuses on nostalgia, family relationships and motivational ideas and is designed with careful attention to details, enchanting colour palette and thoughtful narratives. 

Her impressive artwork has drawn several established brands including Groww, Kotak Mahindra Bank, HP, ITC, MG Motors and many more prestigious names for creating animations where brand promotion is creatively blended in artwork with marketing finesse. Sanya also designs playful illustrations for entities like NCERT and Faber-Castell.

Biggest Pillars of Strength: Parents and Family

During the early days of animation, when Sanya was still skeptical about her professional identity as a digital illustrator, her parents and husband motivated her to leave the job, emphasizing how great she was doing. ‘My parents are my best cheerleaders,’ Sanya claimed with a big smile. 

Their encouragement and unwavering support helped Sanya establish herself as a full-time illustrator and animator, giving her flexibility and time with her baby and family.

Sanya’s Advice for Booming Animators

Sanya believes in growing together with the community and actively encourages and persuades aspiring artists to use social media to showcase their creative edge. ‘Start with small, but be consistent and keep experimenting. Put your artwork out on social media and people will surely find you,’ emphasizes Sanya. 

She also asserts that while captivating storytelling is great, precision and good visuals are essential to getting brands’ attention and creating an edge. ‘Basic art and good storyline can surely get a good number of followers on social media, but only great drawing and visuals can get you good projects and long term client relationship,’ advises Sanya.

The Imagine Pot Keeps Bubbling with Ideas 

Sanya’s creative pursuits do not end here. She aspires to continue researching and experimenting with digital art. While she seeks to work with more established brands and larger animation projects, she believes in enjoying the art and spreading joy and happiness through her artwork. 

Sanya Jain’s story is an inspiring story of self-belief, persistence, and the courage to stand for one’s passion. The Imagine Pot is thereby a true testament to the limitless possibilities of dedication and creativity.
