About Featured

I use the grid method to ensure accurate proportions, but the real work happens in the shading. Whether it is the fine texture of a saree or the specific glint in someone's eye, I spend hours layering graphite to make sure the sketch looks like the person you know, not just a drawing. Every piece is sealed with a matte fixative spray so your portrait stays crisp and smudge-free for years.
