About Realistic Portrait Drawing

About My Portraits

I draw portraits that feel real, not just look like a photo. Mera kaam (my work) is slow and detailed - ek hyper-realistic graphite portrait banane mein (making a hyper-realistic portrait) easily 40-45 ghante lag jaate hain (takes 40-45 hours). I use graphite and charcoal, working from your photos, capturing tiny details that make the face come alive.

What I Can Sketch

  • Single portraits, perfect for gifting or personal keepsakes
  • Lifelike couple drawing that shows your bond
  • Custom hand-drawn family portrait - bring everyone together on one page
  • Realistic pet portrait, because pets bhi family hain (pets are family too)

My Process

  • I start with your reference photo - clearer the photo, better the sketch
  • Use grid method for accurate proportions
  • All work is done by hand, with top-quality pencils, charcoal, and erasers
  • Once finished, I pack it safely and ship anywhere in India

What to Expect

I don’t rush. Each portrait is unique and takes time. If you want something with real emotion and likeness, you’ll get a piece that lasts. Achha photo bhejna mat bhoolna (don’t forget to send a good photo) - it really helps make the final drawing better.

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.
