I create hyper-realistic graphite and charcoal portraits, dedicating 40+ hours to each sketch. I also teach drawing to beginners in my live online Hindi classes.

This is a detailed graphite and charcoal portrait of Lord Hanuman. I focused on creating a powerful yet serene expression, paying close attention to the intricate details of his crown and the texture of his features to bring the piece to life.

An artistic silhouette drawing of Lord Rama with his devotee Hanuman, set against a stormy sky. This piece uses high contrast charcoal to create a dramatic and emotional scene, focusing on their forms and the reflection in the water.

A portrait of Bal Krishna, or Little Krishna, created with graphite pencils. I aimed to capture his innocent and divine nature, focusing on his large, expressive eyes and the soft shading of his features to give the drawing a gentle glow.

This is my completed graphite sketch of actress Kalyani Priyadarshan. I spent a lot of time on the intricate jewelry and the texture of her clothing to complement the realistic details of her face and expression.

My Story

Hi, I'm Vikash. Art is not just lines for me, it's feeling, yaar. Sometimes, the faces I draw almost talk back. I spend hours, sometimes days, with just my graphite and charcoal, chasing those tiny details that make you, you. People from Gujarat to Chandigarh send me pics, want sketches, and when I hear 'Osm yrr' (Awesome, friend!), I feel pura maza aa gaya (total joy). Gods, people, anime - I draw what brings peace. Grateful for it, always.
