Priyanka Jaising – Spreading Light Through Lines and Doodles
Featured Artist: Priyanka Jaising – Doodleebee 🖤✨
We’re excited to introduce Priyanka Jaising as our featured artist! Priyanka is the creative mind behind Doodleebee, where black and white ink art flows with emotion and meaning. Based between Mumbai and Pune, her intricate doodle illustrations are filled with lines, dots, and heartfelt messages that radiate hope, peace, and light.
Drawing inspiration from the mystical universe and her inner world, Priyanka uses her fineliners to turn simple strokes into soulful stories. Her work reflects not just beauty but a quiet strength — art that speaks to the heart.
How would you describe your art style in a few words?
My signature work is black and white ink art, though I dabble in a bit of color every now and then. My art can be described as a mix of doodle art and illustrations, flowing with lines and dots, conveying a message or mood — and full of love.
What inspired you to start creating art?
I’ve always been creating from childhood, ever since I got my hands on a pencil. I used to sketch and paint with various mediums over the years, then the black and white art form took over my journey and birthed Doodleebee. From an educational and financial background, I quit the normal work-life, and with the support and encouragement of my lovely parents who have always told me to follow my passion, I took up art full-time since 2015.
Can you share a bit about your creative journey so far?
I’ve always created almost every single day since childhood. It has been my calm in chaos. I started with crayons and painting as a child, went on to sketching (pencil shadings), and explored mediums such as oils and acrylics. Eventually, I added black and white art, which turned into Doodleebee. Experimenting is key — you never know what leads you to where.
What themes or messages do you explore in your work?
I started Doodleebee to encourage people on a deeper spiritual level. It’s a medium through which I share the messages and visions that come to me. I always make sure that my art is focused on the flow that guides my inner being and on its purpose — to give someone a message they may truly need at that particular time. I wish to spread hope, peace, and light through my work and uplift people through the vibes emitted by it.
Do you have any favorite mediums or tools?
My favourite medium for my ink art is fineliners, and I’m totally obsessed with them. I can never have enough of these magic-creating tools. As a painter, oil is my favourite medium. It teaches me patience, merges its hues beautifully, and is appealing to the eye.
What has been the biggest challenge in your art journey?
The biggest challenge for me, being a workaholic, has been dealing with my free time and balancing my productivity with rest. It’s essential to form a disciplined routine when you are your own boss but also to get in time to rejuvenate, as most times one’s passion doesn’t feel like ‘work’. The initial switch from the regular work-and-income-mindset structure to a total random one also hits differently when you choose this path.
What are you currently working on or experimenting with?
I’m currently working on everything I have mentioned above and experimenting a bit with word art that has caught my attention for a while. Words have power, and I would like to play around with them and elaborate on them.
How do you stay motivated and inspired?
I get my inspiration from the mystical Universe that we live in and from connecting deeply to the beautiful soul that we all have within us. It intrigues me how everything in life is so perfectly and divinely designed, even the chaos and randomness of it. There’s so much inspiration that one can find within and without, even in daily tasks, if one only truly looks with an artistic eye.
Have you ever faced creative blocks? How do you overcome them?
Experience can enable you to train your mind better when facing art blocks. It’s important to observe what works best for you. Create when you want to and don’t when you don’t want to. Taking breaks and doing other things to rejuvenate your mind is key. A mild push to create art for the sake of creating, even for a few minutes rather than the usual hours, is helpful. Even though it may not be your best work, the mere act of creating gets you in the flow. Training your mind to make drawing a ritual or habit — such as drawing during coffee or tea time — builds a habit over the years and lets your mind naturally associate those timings with creating.
What do you hope people feel when they see your work?
I hope that people feel uplifted and moved in a soulful way when they see my work. I want to create a flicker of hope in their hearts at times when they need it the most and cannot find it elsewhere. It might just be a tiny reminder that makes them pause from doomscrolling or something that pops into their minds later like a seed sown. I want them to know they are not alone in whatever they’re going through, and I hope to intentionally make my art relatable in that way.
Have you connected with other artists or communities that have helped you?
I have connected with artists over time on various platforms. Watching and acknowledging their growth journey alongside and simply being there for each other through supporting each other’s work and friendship — even without regular communication — is something beautiful.
How do you engage with your audience?
I try my best to be as attentive as I can in responding to all the comments I receive as I truly value all of them. Interacting with my audience and paying attention to what they do as well, making an effort to visit their profiles and interact back with likes and comments, forms a lovely and supportive bond over time. Noticing the themes they usually like or prefer a little more and bringing it up in conversations always deepens the bond.
What’s one dream project or goal you’d love to achieve?
A dream for me would be to create regularly for someone on a weekly or even monthly basis. Stability can be dreamy. Other than that, I feel like the mere fact that I am able to create each day is living a dream in itself.
Where do you see your art journey going in the next year?
I tend to live in the now and focus on the present rather than what is yet to come, so I do not visualize too far. My goal is to continue evolving and let my journey take its course with grace, at its own pace.

One random fact about you
I’m an ardent moonlover and a whimsical nocturnal being.
Favorite creative ritual or habit
My favourite creative ritual is creating while sipping on coffee and listening to soulful music — a meditative tuning in. This is something I do every morning and evening.
Any advice for other small artists starting out
Always stay connected to why you started in the first place. Create like there is no one watching you and let your art be uniquely yours — your vision was given to only you for a reason. Don’t change it for anyone or any algorithm; defy it all. Most importantly, don’t get lost in the number game. There is no connection between numbers and your worth.
Thank you Priyanka for joining us here. Priyanka’s story is a reminder that art can be both grounding and liberating. Through her intricate doodles and intuitive messages, she’s building more than a body of work — she’s building a space of hope, peace, and connection.
