20 Hindu Gods and Goddesses illustrations in Sumi-E.

We Indian’s have a very strong belief in God. Before starting any important work, we pray to God for the success of the work. Likewise I have started my designing career by making God illustrations in Sumi-E style.
                         
Sumi-E is the Japanese name for ink wash painting, also known as literati painting which is an East Asian type of brush painting.

Every God illustration in India cannot be scribbled in the way we want. Chitrasutra was developed by lord Vishnu which describes the anatomy of Gods. I just reflected the same in Sumi-E style. These illustrations are first of its own kind.

All the illustrations are available for sale. These are done in Vector, editable and scalable to 1000%.
Ayyappan is the Hindu god of growth, particularly popular in Kerala. He is a synthetic deity, the son of Shiva and Mohini.
