About My Artwork Collection
When you order a portrait, I do not just copy a photo. I build the shading layer by layer, focusing on the eyes and hair texture, which is where the realism actually happens. If you have a clear, high-resolution photo, send it over, as it makes a huge difference in the final drawing.
I specialize in realistic graphite sketching from my studio in Kalyan, Mumbai. Whether it is a birthday gift, an anniversary keepsake, or a tribute to a legend, I handle every commission with the same precision.
My materials are professional grade. I use acid-free cartridge paper from brands like Brustro or Fabriano to ensure your artwork lasts without yellowing or fading. Every piece is treated with a fixative spray to prevent smudging before it is shipped to you across India.
I create everything from single head-and-shoulder portraits to complex family compositions in A3 or A2 sizes. I also handle deity portraits with detailed shading for textures like jewelry and traditional clothing. My process is simple. You send a high-quality photo, I create the sketch, I send a digital scan for your approval, and then I ship it securely in a protective tube.
