Dense, joyful, packed edge-to-edge with characters — the style you see on brand walls, merch, fandom pieces and Memory Characters. Made to be looked at for a long time and still find something new.

Pure line

Intricate black-and-white line work — heritage, cities and stories in one continuous hand. This is the language of the murals and the colouring book: you bring the colour.

Doodle School

Nobody is "bad at drawing" — I failed drawing class and turned it into all of this. Doodle School is hands-on: kids learn to think in pictures, teams learn to loosen up, and everyone leaves with a character they made.

  • Workshops for schools & kids
  • Corporate team sessions
  • The Doodle Experience Centre, Jaipur — play for kids, calm for adults In the works

Can't draw? Perfect. Neither could I.

Little lessons, one-on-one or in a small bunch — for kids who draw on everything and grown-ups who stopped drawing at twelve. Online from anywhere, or with me in Jaipur. We start with a scribble and end with your very own character.

About

Ubharta Kalakar means "rising artist".

I'm Dhruv. I'm self-taught. I failed my 12th, I got rejected by every design school I applied to, and I was told I couldn't draw. So I stopped trying to draw well and started drawing a lot — and the cute, crowded, story-packed doodle you see here is what came out.

Today that doodle lives on palace-wedding boards, 15-foot walls, brand packaging, Comic Con booths across India and in the homes of people who asked me to turn their memories into characters.

The goal is simple: to be the name the world says when it says "doodle".

Based in Jaipur. Drawing everywhere.
