About Commissioned Art & Portraits
I see art in the tiniest things - from temple kallina kettanegalu (stone carvings) to the way light falls on a chai cup. My journey as a kala vidyarthi (art student) never really stops, even with my degree in Visual Arts. Every portrait I make is my way of turning your memories into something adbhuta (amazing).
What I Create
- Hand-drawn family portraits, couple sketches, and individual illustrations, all from your favorite photos.
- Custom memorial illustration if you want to honor someone’s memory in a sensitive, personal way.
Pick Your Style
- Graphite pencil sketches for classic, black-and-white vibes - detailed and honest.
- Colored pencil portrait commission for vibrant, realistic colors and lots of emotion.
- Poster color paintings if you’re after bold, modern looks.
How It Works
- You send me your idea and reference photo.
- I use methods like grid technique for accurate likeness - no shortcuts here.
- Finished artwork is packed and shipped anywhere in India. Framing? We can chat about that too.
Turning a regular photo into personalized memory artwork isn’t just about making something pretty. It’s about catching the feeling, the story, and making sure it lasts.

My Story
Namaste! Naanu Megha. Art is my way of seeing the world, not just a job. Studied Visual Arts, but college was more about anubhava (experience), laughter, juniors, unforgettable days. I travel a lot, love ancient temples like Hirenallur – kalavidaru noduvanthe sthala idu (must-see for artists). Inspiration? Can come from a champaka flower, my toothbrush, or a packet of Electral. On a bike ride, potting a plant, or sketching at home – I’m always creating, always feeling.
