## About Special & Fan Art Projects

Every project here started with a unique challenge, like finding the right technique to blend colored pencils for the Indian flag in a powerlifter's portrait or managing the scale of a corporate tribute piece. I spend between 40 to 75 hours on these commissions, ensuring every detail, from facial expressions to clothing textures, is captured using professional graphite and charcoal techniques.

My process is rarely fast because I care about the finish. For the 'Ghost' movie poster sketch featuring Shivarajkumar, it was a 49-hour commitment just to get the charcoal shading right. For the Quest Global corporate commission, it took 54 hours of focused work. I don't just trace photos. I work with 300gsm Ivory or Strathmore paper, using tools like Mono Zero erasers to pull out highlights in hair and eyes, building depth until the image feels real.

When you ask for a custom piece, we aren't just making a drawing. We are capturing a moment. I frequently handle complex composites, like restoring an old photo for a memorial piece or combining separate photos into one family scene. I handle the composition personally, ensuring the anatomy and lighting align.

I am based in Dasanapura, Bengaluru, but I ship worldwide. Your art arrives in secure, reinforced packaging to keep it safe. If you have an idea for a fan art tribute or a special gift, I am ready to put in the hours to get it right.

## About Art by Naveen

I’m Naveen, a Kanasugara (dreamer) based in Bengaluru. I don’t follow standard art school rules—I just use my pencils, a lot of paper, and pure stubbornness to get the shading right. Whether it is a portrait of your hero or a custom gift, I put all my heart into the details.
