## About Portraits from Your Photos

When you share a photo with me, I don't just copy lines. I spend 2 to 3 hours focusing on the shading and skin texture to ensure the portrait captures your true expression. Every piece is treated with fixative spray so the charcoal stays sharp, and I pack it with multiple layers of bubble wrap so it reaches you anywhere in India without a scratch.

### How I Create Your Portrait
My process is simple but dedicated. Whether it is a solo portrait or a couple sketch, I start with high-quality materials like Faber-Castell and Staedtler pencils on 200 GSM Brustro or Canson paper. I believe that a portrait should be more than just paper; it is a memory. Because I work from digital photo references, I can dedicate more time to the detailing than I can with my 10-minute live sketches at India Gate.

### Quality and Framing
I do not cut corners on the finish. Every portrait you order comes in a clean, sturdy synthetic wood frame with acrylic or glass glazing to keep the art safe. I use multiple coats of fixative to prevent the charcoal from shedding or fading over time. 

### Ordering and Delivery
1. **Send your photo:** Send me a clear, high-resolution image.
2. **Selection:** Choose between a solo portrait or a larger A3 couple sketch.
3. **Updates:** I keep you in the loop as the drawing comes to life.
4. **Shipping:** I ship across India using tracked, secure courier services. 

Your privacy is important to me. I will never share your artwork or personal photos online without your permission. If you are looking for a gift that someone will actually keep on their wall for years, this is it.

Namaste! I am Umesh Shah, and my wife, Saroj, and I have spent 18 years turning pencil lines into stories. We put the same amount of heart into our studio portraits as we do our live sketches at India Gate. We are just two artists who love our work and want to share that joy with you.
