Hello!

Welcome to Illustrating with an Idiot, a newsletter by me, Vignesh Seshadri, devoted to illustrating, navigating life as an artist and general tomfoolery. I mostly make digital art with an iPad + Apple Pencil on Procreate, but I am mustering the courage to work on traditional media.

Making art is hard when your idiot brain is actively fighting you. But here we are despite the idiot in all of us, seeking out and hopefully making art — however small and inconsequential it may seem.

I am not a life coach, or a sherpa leading you up a mountain or even a licensed doctor, but if you see me bumbling around making art and that makes it a tiny bit easier, that will have made my day! And that’s what we’re all here for.
