Featured Handmade Pencil Portraits

Har Har Mahadev. For me, drawing Lord Shiva is a spiritual journey. This graphite and charcoal sketch is made with complete devotion, focusing on the powerful yet calm expression of Mahadev. It's more than art; it's a prayer.

Capturing a warm smile and the light in someone's eyes is my passion. This vibrant color pencil portrait took over 50 hours, layering colors to get the skin tones just right and make the portrait pop. This is a great example of a commission from Mumbai.

Here’s a quick look at a recent commission work for a relative. In this video, I show you the final framed portrait of a father and his child. Seeing the finished piece ready to hang on a wall is the best feeling. Let me know in the comments what you think!

This shows you exactly what I do. You send me your photo, and I turn it into a realistic, handmade graphite and charcoal sketch. I focus on capturing not just the likeness, but the personality of the person, creating a timeless black and white portrait.

The divine love of Radha and Krishna, brought to life with color pencils. Creating this piece was a meditative process, blending vibrant blues, oranges, and soft whites to capture their spiritual connection. This A3 size artwork took 10 hours of dedicated work.

This is why I do what I do. There is no greater reward than seeing a client's happy reaction. This video captures the moment a client sees her custom portrait for the first time on her birthday. It makes all the hours of work feel worth it.

Sometimes I like to challenge myself with hyper-realistic sketches. This piece, focusing on the light and shadow on lips and a cherry, shows the level of detail I can achieve with professional color pencils. It’s all about making the drawing look real.
