I work with graphite and charcoal pencils on 200 GSM paper to recreate your photos manually. It takes time and deep focus, but catching that exact smile or specific gaze is what I love doing. Each piece I create is hand-drawn, meaning no two portraits are ever identical. I use high-grade graphite and charcoal to bring depth to the details, from the texture of hair to the glint in your eyes. My process is old-school, but that is how I ensure your memories look real on paper. I work primarily on A3 sized paper. This size is large enough to show off intricate details without being awkward to hang on your wall. Whether you have a slightly blurry reference photo or a crisp, high-resolution shot, I focus on capturing the true spirit of the subject. You can add names, dates, or short messages to the drawing to make it a perfect gift. While I am based in Bengaluru, I ship my work carefully, using protective tubes or flat packs to ensure it reaches you safely anywhere in India. This is 'naanu nanna kanasu' (me and my dream), and I want to share that joy with you. If you have a specific scene in mind, like a family photo or a fan tribute, just send it over. Let’s talk about your idea and bring it to life. ## About Dannyddarts Hey fam, I’m Danny. I live to sketch raw emotions with my graphite pencils. From movie legends to your family’s candid moments, I put my heart into every shade and line.
