Drawing Classes: Master Realistic Pencil Art Online & In-Person
I believe drawing is about patience, not perfection. Whether you join me in my Kandivali studio or online, my classroom is a space to build your basics, understand light and shadow, and find your own artistic voice.

About My Classroom: Online & Offline Learning
I don't just watch you draw, I help you see. In my live sessions and dedicated feedback channels, we go through your work line by line. I will show you exactly how to adjust your pencil pressure or fix proportions, so you are not guessing your way through shading.
My Approach to Learning
I have seen too many students give up because they think they need natural talent to draw. The truth is, anyone can learn to draw what they see if they have the right process. My classes are built on the '5 Pillar Method,' a systematic way of observing subjects, breaking them down into simple 3D shapes, and applying light and shadow logic.
Online & Offline Classroom
- Online Workshops: We use live Zoom sessions to bridge the gap between us. I provide real-time demonstrations, and recordings are always available if you miss a class or need to revisit a tricky texture study.
- Kandivali Studio (Mumbai): My offline classes offer a tactile experience. Here, I can physically guide your pencil grip and show you how to build textures on paper. We work in small batches so you get individual attention and coaching suited to your personal speed.
What You Can Expect
Whether you are a complete beginner or looking to master hyper-realistic portraits, my goal is to guide you step-by-step. We start with basics like structure and value scales before moving to complex studies like fabric textures, eyes, or portraits of your loved ones. You will get dedicated feedback during the week, allowing you to ask questions and correct your path as you practice.
Learning takes time, but I am here to ensure you enjoy the process as much as the result. If you have been looking for a teacher who values your growth and persistence, you have found the right place.

I grew up at an art academy, learning that a drawing is only as good as the heart you put into it. Now, I create that same warm, supportive space for you, whether you are sitting at my desk in Kandivali or joining us from your home.
