Parwinder spent the early years of his career in classical 2D animation but eventually he was fascinated by various styles of illustration and was driven to the beautiful world of children's books. Parwinder works on and creates many different styles of illustration for numerous books with his Wacom pen. Drawing and colouring for almost 14 years with different art studios and companies, he finally decided to go it alone. Freelancing has given Parwinder the chance he always wanted - he is able to explore more styles and travel to different places. Parwinder loves to work digitally.
