Whether it is a candid shot of them playing in the rain or a festive portrait, I draw every detail by hand—from the texture of their clothes to the sparkle in their eyes. No digital tricks, just real pencil work on 200gsm acid-free paper that is built to last. When you look at a photo, you see a moment. When I draw that moment, I try to capture the life behind it. Drawing children presents a unique challenge—their expressions change in a heartbeat, and their skin tones require delicate, soft blending to look natural. ### How I Approach Your Child's Portrait I work primarily with two mediums, and the choice depends on the vibe you want: * **Graphite & Charcoal:** These are perfect for a classic, timeless look. They excel at highlighting the innocence in a child's eyes and creating a soft, old-school feel that looks great in any room. * **Colored Pencils:** If you want to capture the vibrancy of a festive outfit or the bright colors of their favorite toys, I use professional-grade oil-based pencils. This allows me to render textures like silk, cotton, or even a soft sweater hoodie with high realism. ### Quality That Lasts I use 200gsm acid-free, heavy-weight cartridge paper for all children's portraits. It is thick, durable, and won't yellow over time, ensuring that the drawing you receive today remains a centerpiece for your home years down the line. Every finished piece is sealed with a fixative spray to prevent smudging or fading. ### The Process Once you share the reference photo, we discuss the size and medium. If the photo is from a special event—like a naming ceremony, Janmashtami, or a birthday—I take care to maintain the authenticity of the attire and background. You don't need a perfect, studio-lit photo; even candid phone photos work. My job is to translate that photo into a piece of art that feels as warm and lively as the memory itself. ## About Artist Akhil I’m Akhil, and art is my escape.
