About Custom Sketches & Portraits
Art That Feels Personal
For me, sketching is more than just putting pencil to paper - it’s a way to find peace and connect with myself. I’m self-taught, and every custom piece I make reflects a bit of my own journey. “Rango mein uljhi wo, khud ko talashti rehti hai” (Lost in colors, I’m always searching for myself). That’s the vibe you’ll find in every portrait.
What I Offer
- Personal sketches from your photographs - single, couples, families, kids, maternity, pets, even deities
- Not got the perfect group shot? I can combine faces from different photos into one hand-drawn family portrait
- Pet sketch commission to honour your furry buddy
Choose Your Style
- Charcoal sketches for that classic, soulful look
- Realistic pencil portraits with vibrant Prismacolor pencils for lifelike detail
The Process
You send me your favourite photos, I turn them into sketches. Each piece is a proper collaboration. Sometimes a small artwork takes a few hours, big family ones can run past 20 hours. I only use pro materials like Strathmore and Fabriano - so your custom portrait lasts.

My Story
Hi, I’m Karishma, Delhi ki artist. Art for me is pura devotion. Jab main paint karti hoon, I get lost in rang (colors) and canvas, searching for myself. Divine figures like Shiva and Krishna, painting their eyes – bas, that’s magic for me. My art is my shanti (peace), and I hope it brings a little calm and beauty to your home too.
My Work
Custom Artwork Commissions - I make oil paintings, 3D art, charcoal sketches, pencil colour, gauche, and glass paintings. Sab kuch custom.
Spiritual Deity Paintings - Mostly, I paint spiritual themes - Shiva, Krishna, Ganesha. It’s pure devotion for me.
Personalized Portraits - Family, pets, ya koi bhi – I put heart in every portrait, for clients worldwide.
All Heart, No AI - Each piece takes me days sometimes. I work till it feels full of emotion and just right.
