Hi! I'm Rukmini and I draw emotions.
For the last five years I've drawn over 500 original illustrations. I drew one hundred of my own emotions into a book, I started an illustrated advice column, and now I focus on creating art that inspires thoughtfulness and mental wellbeing.
100 Obscure Emotions is a collection of illustrations that explore all kinds of complex emotions. The whimsical style invites readers to reflect on their own unseen emotions.
