I turn your favorite outfits, foods, or wild ideas into vibrant, hand-drawn art. Let’s make something real.
My finished purple rose illustration, created with a mix of Derwent, Staedtler, and Prismacolor pencils. I focused on the delicate texture of the petals and the rich gradient of purples and pinks.

About Custom Colored Pencil Illustrations
I use professional-grade supplies like Derwent and Prismacolor pencils on heavy-duty 250gsm paper so your art actually lasts. Every commission includes progress updates, so you aren't guessing what you'll get—you will see the layering process unfold as I go.
How I approach your art
Whether it is an outfit you love, a favorite snack, or just a random object, I treat every colored pencil illustration like a deep dive. I don’t just sketch; I layer colors to build texture—like the knit on a sweater or the glossy drip on a strawberry. It’s a slow process that takes anywhere from 9 to 16+ hours, but that’s how I get that realistic look.
The process and materials
I use top-tier brands like Derwent Chromaflow, Prismacolor, and Faber-Castell to make sure the pigment stays rich. I also use white gel pens to pop those highlights, which makes all the difference in the final piece.
Ordering your custom piece
If you’re looking for a custom piece, just let me know what you have in mind. We will chat about the subject and size, and I’ll keep you in the loop with regular progress shots so we are on the same page. I ship these across India, carefully packed in hardboard to make sure they arrive without a single crease. No shortcuts—just hand-drawn art that took time to get right.
