My Art Studio: Behind the Scenes with Vikash

When I am working on a commission, I typically spend 40 to 45 hours on a single piece. I rely on graphite and charcoal to build depth, layer by layer, until the portrait looks just like the person in your photo. It is slow work, but that is how I get the details right.

My Creative Process

Art is not just about lines to me, it is a feeling, yaar. Whether I am working on a custom family portrait, a religious sketch, or a popular anime character, my method remains the same. I use a grid system to get the proportions right, then build up the shadows using high-quality graphite and charcoal pencils.

I focus heavily on textures like skin, hair, and eyes, as those are what make a drawing feel alive rather than flat. If you order a commission, please keep in mind that I do not rush. Each piece takes several days to finish, and I pack them securely for safe delivery anywhere in India.

Learn Hyper-Realistic Sketching

Apart from taking commissions, I also run online drawing workshops. These are live, interactive classes on Zoom held in Hindi. We meet three times a week for a month to cover everything from basic light theory to complex portraiture.

• What we cover: Realistic skin texture, hair and beard detailing, sky blending for landscapes, and how to use blending tools like makeup brushes.
• Support: You get 6 months of access to class recordings, personal feedback on your homework, and a certificate upon completion.

Whether you are a beginner or looking to sharpen your skills, my classes are designed to be practical. If you have questions about commission timelines or when the next workshop batch starts, feel free to drop me a message.
