I believe art is about capturing the feeling, not just the face. Here is a selection of my most detailed work, ranging from divine figures to personal portraits.

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.

A look at my watercolor process for a painting of Lord Krishna with a calf. I use vibrant colors to capture the divine love and tranquility of the scene, building layers to achieve depth in the skin tones, hair, and the gentle expression of the calf.

A realistic graphite portrait of actress Priyanka Mohan. My goal was to capture the delicate details in her traditional attire, the flow of her hair, and the soft expression, using careful shading to create a photorealistic effect.

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.

A unique portrait of cricketer Virat Kohli drawn entirely with a blue ballpoint pen. This technique requires precise control to build up layers of ink for shading, capturing his joyful expression on a simple sheet of lined paper.

Watch the process of my graphite drawing of Premanand Govind Maharaj coming together. This video shows how I build up the details, from the initial sketch to the final shading of his robes and hands, capturing his peaceful presence.

About Featured

Making these isn't just about lines, it is about patience. I spend 40 to 45 hours on each piece because I need to get the eyes, the texture, and the expression right before I send it to you. Every sketch is coated with a matte fixative to keep the charcoal safe, so it reaches you in perfect condition.
