Hyper-Realistic Sketching & Art Workshops
I create custom portraits and teach the craft of hyper-realism. Whether you want a handcrafted sketch for a loved one or want to learn the techniques yourself, you are in the right place.
This timelapse shows the entire process of bringing a portrait to life, from a blank page to a hyperrealistic sketch. In my workshops, I break down every step so you can learn to do this too.
A completed commission piece that captures a joyful expression. My goal is to teach you how to create portraits that feel alive and full of emotion.
Here is a look at the different grades of pencils I use for shading and highlighting. Understanding your tools is the first step, and I cover this in detail in my course.
Wondering how to draw realistic hair? This short video shows my technique for creating texture and flow, a key lesson in my hyperrealism workshop.
A close-up look at drawing a hyperrealistic eye. We focus on capturing details like light reflection and subtle shading to make your portraits truly stand out.
My skills are not just for portraits. This video shows how I create atmospheric effects like rain and mist, a technique I teach for landscape sketching.
This piece shows how I use shadows and light to tell a story, featuring a powerful mythological scene. Learning composition is just as important as technique.
About Featured
Whether you are looking for a custom portrait or wanting to learn the craft, everything I create starts with the same foundation: patience. A single hyper-realistic sketch takes me about 40 to 45 hours, using a precise mix of graphite and charcoal pencils like 8B and 10B to capture the exact shading. If you are joining my workshop, you will learn that same method—we do not just sketch, we build layers to get the skin texture and eye reflections looking real.
My approach to art is simple: if you put in the time, the details follow.
Custom Commissions
I create hand-drawn portraits from your photos, focusing on capturing real likeness and emotion. Since each piece takes several days, I focus on one commission at a time. I use a combination of graphite and charcoal to ensure the shadows are deep and the highlights pop. I pack these securely and deliver them all over India. If you have a specific photo in mind, send it over and let’s discuss the timeline.
Online Drawing Workshops
Learning to draw isn't just about talent; it is about learning the right techniques. In my 1-month live workshop, I break down the process of hyper-realism into manageable steps:
- Portraits: We cover everything from constructing features to rendering realistic hair and skin texture.
- Landscapes: You will learn how to handle sky blending, clouds, and depth.
- Technique: We practice light and shadow theory using tools like paper stumps, makeup brushes, and mono erasers.
Classes are held live on Zoom, three days a week (Mon-Wed, 5:00-6:30 PM). It is an interactive space where you can ask questions as we draw. If you miss a session, you get six months of access to the recordings. It is intense, but mere saath seekhne ka mazaa hi kuch aur hai (learning with me hits different). You will leave the course with a digital certificate and the skills to create your own realistic artwork.
