## 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.

### My work

- **Portraits & Sketches**: Custom realistic portrait, couple sketch art, family portrait commission - all handmade with love using pencil, charcoal, or acrylic.
- **Wall Art for Cafes & Homes**: I design and paint wall mural painting for cafes and home spaces, bringing your walls to life.
- **Commission Process**: You send me a photo, I turn it into a detailed black and white pencil portrait or color sketch. Reference vs. sketch pics bhi milenge.
- **Materials & Sizes**: Faber Castell pencils, Brustro paper, acrylic on canvas. I do A2, A3, A4 sizes, framed ya unframed.
- **Detail & Time**: Har piece mein 3 se 48 ghante lagte hain, details mein compromise nahi karta.
