About Custom Portraits & Sketches
Kaam Se Mohabbat: Why I Make Art
Art is my reality - kaam se mohabbat hai boss. If you want memories turned into realistic hand-drawn portraits, that’s what I do. Every sketch starts with your photo and ends with something you can keep forever. I love catching those tiny details, whether it’s a smile wrinkle or the way someone’s hair falls.
What I Offer
- Realistic hand-drawn portraits in graphite and charcoal - mostly black & white, super detailed.
- Color pencil portraits for those who want a bit more zing but still want it to feel real.
- Custom couple sketches - from shaadi ke outfits (wedding outfits) to casual hugs.
- Family, friends, pets - yep, I sketch them too. Pet pencil portrait? Totally doable.
- Conceptual ink art, fan art (anime, mythology, whatever you’re into).
Behind The Scenes
Every piece takes a lot of time - sometimes 3 hours, sometimes 48. I use your reference photo, layer and blend the pencils, then add highlights for that pop. Materials? Brustro paper, Faber-Castell pencils. I post reference vs sketch comparisons so you know what you’re getting.
A Dose of Reality
Dukh, dard, peeda (pain and struggle) - sometimes Insta likes don’t come, but love for drawing keeps me going. Mumbai-based, but I ship anywhere in India.
Portrait bnana ho toh yaha aao. (If you want a portrait made, come here.)

My Story
Main hoon Mahipal, bas ek artist jo apne kaam se pyaar karta hai. Sabse pehle toh apne kaam se mohabbat karo, warna kuch maza nahi. Art hi mera escape hai - dukh, dard, peeda sab issi mein dissolve ho jaate hain. Kabhi kabhi lagta hai, social media pe 48 ghante ki mehnat bhi zero views milti hai, par kya karein, yeh hi toh zinda rakhta hai. Bas, main apna kaam karta hoon - chahe wo Mahadev ka sketch ho, ya koi papa-beti ka pyaar. Dekho, pasand aaye toh batao.
