While I specialize in graphite, I also explore other mediums.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/e7517d08-16ac-4a02-81bb-e2acdc723664) ## About Additional Work This gallery shows pieces beyond my usual graphite work, including color studies and experimental sketches. While pencil shading is my main focus for commissions, I enjoy experimenting with different mediums to see how a face looks in color. If you have a specific artistic style or medium in mind for your commission, tell me when we talk. I believe art is a constant process of learning. My signature style relies on the deep, high-contrast finish of graphite and charcoal, which takes 40-45 hours per piece to achieve that hyper-realistic look. However, I sometimes pick up paintbrushes, pens, or other materials to challenge my understanding of light and shadow. This section showcases those personal explorations. It demonstrates how I adapt my core techniques to different mediums. Whether I am working on a color portrait or a quick study, the goal is always to capture the true likeness of the subject. These works are part of my ongoing artistic journey as I refine my skills through practice. If you are looking for something non-traditional or want to discuss a mix of styles for your portrait, feel free to reach out to me directly. ## About Vikash Tanti I am Vikash, and I see art as a feeling, not just lines on paper. I spend days chasing tiny details with my pencils, and sometimes, I step out of my comfort zone to try new mediums. My work is personal, raw, and always focused on making the subject feel real.
