It is a bit of extra work, but it ensures the final drawing looks like your loved ones, not just a random sketch. Turning a family photo into a sketch takes patience and attention to detail. I start by mapping out a grid, which allows me to scale up the facial features accurately on 210+ GSM ivory sheets. Whether you have one clear photo or need me to merge separate images into a single cohesive family composition, I work with charcoal and graphite to capture the specific light and shade of those expressions. You get a raw, handmade piece of art, not a print or a digital copy. It is just a drawing that captures the specific way your child smiles or the bond between parents. Because these pieces are delicate, I seal every finished sketch with a matte fixative spray to keep it smudge-free. I do not frame the pieces myself to ensure they arrive safely via shipping, but the drawing is ready for you to frame and hang up the moment it reaches your home. ## About Shweta Rane I am Shweta, an arttrovert who prefers letting the pencil do the talking. I do not just draw faces; I look for the little quirks, like the way your child holds your hand or a smile that only you recognize. Everything I make is handmade with love, just for your family.
