🎨 Meet Anain Shaikh ✨
Anain Shaikh is an illustrator and communication designer based in Karachi, Pakistan whose whimsical, colorful art is filled with heart, storytelling, and beautifully detailed worlds.
A graduate of the Indus Valley School of Art and Architecture, Anain has illustrated the comic series Basila and the Street Crew as well as the children’s book Basking in my Brown. She’s passionate about creating stories that inspire children and communicate meaningful messages through illustration.
From digital art and painting to clay sculpture and embroidery, Anain loves experimenting with new artistic techniques and weaving them into her creative process.
When she’s not drawing, she’s usually surrounded by towering stacks of books, indie comics, “Art of” collections, her cat Smoll, and a cup of coffee nearby ☕️
