I am super picky about my materials, using professional-grade 200gsm paper so the artwork does not warp, and I seal every finished piece with fixative spray so it stays smudge-free. You will always get work-in-progress updates while I am sketching, so you are never left guessing how your portrait is turning out. ### How I work I am a self-taught artist, which means my style is always evolving. Whether I am working with charcoal for a moody, high-contrast mythological piece or using my Prismacolor set for a bright, pop-culture portrait, the goal is always to make it look real. ### The Commission Process - **Getting Started:** Tell me what you want. Send over a clear photo or just a rough idea if it is a character or a fantasy object. - **The Sketch:** I start with a light outline. I send you a quick pic to make sure the face shape and proportions are right. - **The Build-up:** This is where the magic happens. I layer the graphite or color. It is time-consuming, but that is how you get those fine details like jewelry shine or fur texture. - **The Finish:** Once I am happy, I coat it in fixative and pack it between rigid cardboard so it reaches you without a single crease. ### Important Stuff Because everything is handmade, I cannot rush. Good art takes time, so please reach out early if you need a portrait for a birthday or an anniversary. I do not do free work, but I promise you will get a piece that I have poured hours into. If you want something, just DM me and we can figure out the medium and size that works for your budget. ## About Ritika Hi, I'm Ritika!
