Custom Hand-Drawn Realistic Portrait Commissions
A collection of my best work, blending hyper-realistic colour and classic graphite styles. Each portrait is crafted with patience and dedicated detail, straight from my studio to your home.
This is the kind of vibrant, hyper-realistic art I love to create for couples. I used Brustro colour pencils on A3 paper to capture every detail of their special moment, making it a perfect wedding or anniversary gift.
This hyper-realistic pencil sketch of a lovely couple from Kerala is one of my favorites. I used Brustro graphite pencils on a large A2 sheet to capture their beautiful smiles and the warmth between them.
Creating this large A2 size family portrait was a challenge I loved. I merged 8 different photos to bring three generations together in one colourful drawing, a memory they can cherish forever.
It took me over 55 hours of dedicated work to complete this hyper-realistic colour pencil sketch of Shree Ram Lalla. Capturing the divine details was a spiritual journey for me, using a full set of 72 Brustro colour pencils.
Here’s a quick look at how I create a detailed graphite pencil sketch. This portrait of actress Kalyani Priyadarshan took about 8 hours, focusing on realistic shading and capturing her expression.
This is a time-lapse of a big A2 size commission piece of a world champion. It took me almost 50 hours over 8 days to get the colours of the flag and the details of the medal just right using Brustro colour pencils.
"Woooowww superr....exactly like I imagined...10/10". This is the kind of reaction from a happy client that makes all the hard work worth it. Your happiness is my biggest reward.
About this collection
Whether you have a single photo or want to merge faces from different pictures into one frame, I handle the composition personally. Before I touch the paper, we discuss the layout to make sure every detail, from the expressions to the jewelry, matches exactly what you have in mind.
My process is all about patience and quality. I work primarily with Brustro and Kohinoor graphite pencils for that classic, deep-contrast look, or high-grade 72-shade colour pencils for vibrant, hyper-realistic portraits. A single piece can take anywhere from 15 to 50+ hours, depending on the detail required, so I ensure no part of the artwork is rushed.
Every commission starts with you sending a clear photo. For complex requests, like combining generational family members from separate old photos, I provide a digital layout check first. This ensures the final drawing is exactly how you envisioned it.
I use 200 GSM to 250 GSM Brustro artist-grade paper to ensure the colours and graphite pop and last for years. To keep your artwork safe during transit, I spray every piece with a professional protective fixative to prevent smudging, then roll it in butter paper and secure it inside a sturdy, moisture-resistant PVC pipe. My goal is to make sure your portrait arrives in perfect condition, ready to be framed and cherished.
