Nabi H. Ali

Nabi is a Tamil-American illustrator who enjoys creating diverse works that showcase an array of cultures and people.

His interest in illustration started when he realized he could help create representation in the arts and in media for minorities. He is very passionate about working with characters that he wishes he had seen in books when he was a child. Nabi is aspiring to become a visual development artist for animation alongside his pursuit of illustration. He has worked for studios like Wild Canary Animation as a freelance character designer. Usually, he illustrates digitally, but he also has a secret love of inks, color pencil, and acrylic paints. His favorite thing about art is experimenting with color and what the right colors can do to make a piece magical. His hobbies include doll collecting, reading, learning about South Asian mythology and folklore.
