About

Drawing from the Heart

I believe drawing is more than just copying - it’s about seeing, understanding, and being patient with yourself. I’ve learned that every line has a story and mistakes are part of the journey. In my classes, you’ll find a space to grow, not just a bunch of techniques.

Who Should Join

  • If you’re convinced you “can’t even draw a straight line” or just curious to try
  • If you want to get strong at realistic pencil drawing for starters
  • If you’ve drawn before but want better basics

What You’ll Learn

We start with the fundamentals - because that’s how you really learn to draw what you see. We don’t just copy, we build and observe.

  • Breaking down objects into simple 3D shapes
  • Mastering light and shadow for realistic depth
  • Drawing accurate proportions without second guessing
  • Basics of drawing with charcoal and pencil for smooth textures

Format & Comfort

Join my live online drawing lessons for newbies or come to my Mumbai studio for offline classes. Missed a session? No stress - recordings are available.

Special: Step-by-step Portrait Course

Want to draw a complete portrait? My personalised 20-session course takes you from blank page to a full A4 pencil portrait - even of your Naana-Naani. Lots of mentoring, feedback, and a bit of jaadu ki jhappi (magical hug) when you need it.

My Last Word

Success comes with persistence, not chasing perfection. This space is about learning, growing, and finding joy in the process. I’ll be with you every step.

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.
