My first wedding commission work. I used color pencils to capture the richness of the couple's wedding attire, from the groom's turban to the bride's intricate lehenga.

About Capturing Your Moments
When I work on a wedding or couple portrait, my focus is on capturing more than just the image. I spend over 50 hours layering vibrant color pencils to get the skin tones and the intricate details of traditional clothing just right, ensuring the drawing feels as alive as the memory itself.
Every portrait I draw is a piece of my heart on paper. Whether you are looking for a classic black and white graphite sketch or a vibrant color pencil portrait, the process starts with understanding the emotion behind your photo. I use professional-grade materials like Prismacolor pencils and 200gsm acid-free paper to ensure your art stays vibrant for years.
The Process
I pay special attention to the details: the patterns on a lehenga, the shine of jewelry, and the expression in the eyes. Every piece is coated with a clear, professional-grade fixative spray to prevent smudging and preserve the work.
Ordering Advice
When you order, I send a high-resolution digital proof before shipping to ensure you are fully satisfied. I package every piece with rigid cardboard and waterproof sleeves, whether I am shipping locally or internationally. If you have a special request, like combining two photos into one composition or adding a background, just ask. I love a creative challenge and am happy to guide you on selecting the best reference photo for a stunning, lasting result.
