Samidha Gunjal, who runs Studio Dhamisa, is an illustrator, animator and comic artist mainly working on children’s books and comics for adults. Gunjal’s linocut work, an art that she only explored as a new hobby to break the monotony of digital drawing mediums, especially stands out. “I find linocut more challenging, engaging, calming and liberating. I have to approach and plan each concept differently to achieve the desired outcome. It also needs a higher level of concentration with almost no room for mistakes. It is calming as it is a skill-based tactile medium that never fails to surprise me with the outcome,” she explains.
