Custom Portrait and Rangoli Art by Chandan
From hyper-realistic charcoal sketches to large-scale event rangoli, this is the art I live for. Every piece is a mix of tradition, pop culture, and memory.
This is my first attempt at a fully realistic acrylic painting on a 20x25 inch canvas. I focused on capturing the pure joy on the child's face and the dynamic texture of the water. This style is perfect if you want a vibrant, colorful, and highly detailed custom painting that feels incredibly alive.
A tribute to the film '777 Charlie', this piece was created using my signature technique with hand-crushed charcoal and white stone powder. This video shows how I build layers to create depth and emotion, making it a special kind of pet portrait or movie character art.
A commissioned graphite pencil sketch. I love how this portrait captures a moment of pure, spontaneous happiness. Using graphite allows me to focus on the fine details, from the light in her eyes to the flow of her hair, creating a timeless and personal keepsake.
This large 3x5 feet realistic rangoli of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj was made for a festival. It shows how I use colored powders to create grand, vibrant portraits for events. Capturing the strength and pride of such a historical figure was an honor.
A portrait of Virat Kohli, the 'King' of cricket, made with charcoal and white stone powder. This medium is great for creating strong contrast and a powerful mood, perfect for capturing the intensity of iconic personalities. This is a popular choice for celebrity portraits and fan art.
Here is a look at the creation of a 3x5 feet realistic rangoli portrait of a Saadhu. I used colored powders to bring out the deep textures in his beard and the intensity in his eyes, creating a piece of spiritual art that feels both powerful and serene.
This is a commissioned graphite portrait of a gentleman in a traditional pheta. My goal was to create a respectful and classic pencil sketch, paying close attention to the intricate folds of the turban and the kind expression on his face.
A charcoal powder artwork of Devi Maa for Dussehra. The black and white medium creates a dramatic and divine feel, highlighting the goddess's powerful form. This is an example of the spiritual and cultural art I love to create.
About Featured
When I create a portrait, I don't just copy a photo. I start by sketching your outlines to ensure the expression is perfect before I touch the charcoal or graphite. If you are ordering a charcoal portrait, I use hand-crushed powder for those deep, matte blacks you see in my work, which is why I always ship these in hard PVC tubes to keep the texture safe and smudge-free.
My art is a blend of traditional soul and modern technique. Whether you want a detailed graphite sketch that captures the exact light in someone's eyes or a grand rangoli for a festival, I bring the same focus to every project.
Graphite and Charcoal Portraits
Graphite is my go-to for capturing fine details on A4 paper, perfect for gifts or a timeless keepsake. My signature style, however, is hand-crushed charcoal and white stone powder. It creates a matte, high-contrast finish that looks powerful—perfect for celebrity tributes or movie-inspired pieces. I use 180+ GSM acid-free paper for graphite, so your portrait won't yellow over time, and for charcoal, I use heavier grain paper to hold the powder.
Large-Scale and Event Art
Beyond portraits, I do live speed-painting and custom rangoli for festivals, cafe openings, and corporate events. If you have a specific theme—from historical figures to movie characters—I can bring that vision to life. My acrylic canvas work is waterproof and protected with varnish, making it durable for any space.
The Process
I believe in working with you, not just for you. I share digital sketches or progress shots during the making of your piece so you are part of the journey. For shipping, whether you are in Karwar, Bengaluru, or anywhere across India, I ensure every piece is packed securely so it reaches you ready to display. If you have an idea that feels a bit wild or offbeat, tell me. I love a challenge and I am always ready to try something new.
