## About Custom Pencil Portraits

### Why I Draw Portraits

I put my heart into every portrait I make. It’s not just about copying faces, it’s about telling a story and holding onto emotions. I’ve drawn everyone from babies to Naana-Naani, and each piece is a slice of someone’s world.

### What I Offer

- Black and white only - I use graphite and charcoal for that timeless look.
- Individual, couple, and family portraits, including hand-drawn family portrait for anniversaries or special days.
- Baby portraits with little creative touches if you want (like soft butterfly backgrounds).
- Pet portraits - I pay attention to their eyes, their fur, the real character.
- Memorial pieces - these are close to my heart, I try to make them feel like emotional pencil art, warm and comforting.

### My Way of Working

I’m all about realism and depth, so I spend time layering and blending. I use brands like Staedtler, Caran d'ache, and General’s for pencils. Paper choice matters, so I mostly pick Fabriano or Canson - these are meant to last.

If you want to be involved, I even offer a ‘50-50 effort’ portrait. You do a rough sketch, I finish it off professionally. It’s a fun way to make it more personal.

### Details That Matter

- Standard sizes like A3, A4, or custom sizes if needed.
- I can mount your artwork with a classic white border for that gallery feel.
- Shipping worldwide, straight from my studio in India.

Every portrait I send out is meant to feel like jaadu ki jhappi (magical hug) on paper.

### My story

Since I was a kid, art has been my go-to, my anchor. My bond with Krishna feels like it’s always been with me, you know? I grew up at the academy, teaching and learning, but now I’m doing my own thing. My family means everything - Amar, my Naana-Naani, my roots. Drew a portrait for them called 'Laadvo' (Ladoo) and their faces, those tears - that’s why I draw. Not just for the art, but for those moments. It’s connection, it’s memory.

### My work

- **What I do**: I create realistic pencil portraits, emotional pet portraits, still life, custom art commissions, and live wedding painting. I also mentor beginners.
- **Art with feeling**: Not just a sketch - I try to catch the emotion, the story, the tiny details that make a piece personal.
- **My way of working**: Slow, steady, patient - sometimes a portrait takes months. I don’t rush, some bonds deserve that time.
- **Mentoring beginners**: If you think you can’t draw, I’ll help you start. Step by step, from basics to real portraits. Let’s find your inner artist.
