About this collection

The secret to a perfect bridal portrait isn't just a steady hand, it's about the underlying structure. Most people struggle with eye placement or jawlines, which ruins the entire expression. In my lessons, we start by mapping out facial proportions first, so you get the features in the right spot before you even start the final detailing with your henna cone.

Whether you want to draw traditional deities like Ganesha, or capture a couple's varmala ceremony, the technique is the same. It is all about the grid. When you learn to see a face as a series of simple shapes, you stop guessing where the eyes should go. My 30-day course takes you through this process step by step. We don't just copy pictures; we study the anatomy of a figure.

In these classes, we cover the chemistry of your henna paste too. If your paste is too runny, your lines will bleed, and your figures will lose their definition. I provide a professional starter kit so you are using the same consistency that I do. We spend 60 hours together, moving from basic anatomy to advanced storytelling. You will learn how to draw intricate jharokhas, elephants, and peacocks that frame these figures perfectly. It is a full deep dive, from the first line on the skin to the final dark stain. If you are ready to stop watching tutorials and actually start creating, let’s get started.
