About Hand-Drawn Pencil Portraits
Why I Draw
Art is what I live for. Drawing by hand, making real faces come alive on paper - that’s what I do. If you want your photo to turn into a realistic hand-drawn artwork, I’m your guy.
What I Draw
- Individual portraits (head and shoulders)
- Couple, family, or friends - for those special bonds
- Icons and legends - like Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, or anyone you admire
- Deity portraits - Mahadev, Ganpati Bappa, and more
- Pets too, though people are my main focus
How I Work
I use graphite and pencil to keep things natural and classic. My style is all about capturing tiny details - that eye twinkle, the texture of hair, the play of light and shadow. Usually, I stick to black and white portrait art, but sometimes I add a splash of colour if it suits the vibe.
My process is straightforward:
- You send me a clear reference photo
- I sketch it by hand, focusing on realism
- I sign the finished personalised pencil drawing and ship it to you, anywhere in India
From Mumbai, With Heart
Sab kuch Mumbai se hi hota hai (Everything starts from Mumbai), but I make sure my custom graphite sketch reaches you wherever you are. Your artwork will arrive safely, ready to be shown off at home.

My Story
Hey, I’m Shivam from Kalyan, Mumbai. Art is my world – nothing else really. I get a kick out of seeing a photo and thinking, 'I want to sketch this.' Could be anyone – a hero, a celeb, or just someone’s uncle. I chase that real look, every tiny shadow. My sketches? That’s my life on paper. What you see is exactly me.
