Iris H. says, "I was in the Encinitas area to attend a concert with my very good friend for her birthday weekend. We were looking to do a paint and sip the night of our arrival, and upon searching the area I found Ambika’s profile. I saw that she was experienced with private parties and pet portraits, which was perfect because I had been thinking that what better painting subject than my friend’s two dogs who are her babies. Ambika was super communicative and helpful from the start, giving helpful insights via email to help me land on the painting that we would be creating. She checked in multiple times leading up to the event. On the day of the event she was super punctual, arriving early to set up and as a result we even got to get started early. She was patient, professional, instructed clearly and went at our pace. We had so much fun and most importantly, were actually so amazed at the end result. We didn’t even know we could paint something like this!"See more

Reviews for San Diego illustrators on Thumbtack

From Marianne L.

It was wonderful working with Devin. She hit the nail on the head and my client was very happy with her illustration.

Karine Makartichan - Book Illustrations

Karine Makartichan - Book Illustrations

Karine did a wonderful job on my first children’s picture book. Her characters brought my book to life and she was always willing to make changes. She was very helpful, as I was a novice, with the formatting process and she was always very prompt answering my emails and finishing the illustrations. I always felt she was invested in my story and it showed in the illustrations. I will certainly use her again!

JoelynD Creative

I have had 35 years of award winning collaboration, with illustrators at 3 of the most prestigious Advertising Agencies in Detroit. Never have I enjoyed the creative process more than with Joelyn. She embodies all the qualities of a true professional. And I am looking forward to my next collaboration with her.

I had the pleasure of collaborating with Sasha and her team in the creation of my first-ever children's book. She was not only a blessing in all that, but the illustrations are absolutely exquisite, couldn't be happier! 😃😍 She is patient, kind and really went above and beyond to help me create my very first children's book. If I could give her over 5 stars, I would!!! 😊 💕
