About Custom Portraits & Commissioned Art
Why I Draw
Kelavu sala... tumbaa ishtapattavaranna ene heli varnisidaru adu chikkadaagutte. (Sometimes, no matter how much you describe the people you love, it feels too small.) That's why I put my heart into drawing. For me, art is not just a job - it's how I show what matters to me.
What I Offer
- Realistic pencil portrait and charcoal sketches - I capture every tiny detail, from the smile to the hair. If you want something that looks just like your photo, this is my go-to.
- Color pencil drawings - Bright, lively, and perfect for portraits or even spiritual themes.
- Scribble art commission - Modern, energetic, and a bit wild. This style stands out and is fun.
- Acrylic canvas painting - Bold colors, classic look, great for framing and showing off.
- Blood art - Very niche, very personal. I use a safe process to create portraits with a reddish-brown tone. It’s intense and truly one-of-a-kind.
What You Can Get
- Custom family artwork, portraits of you or your loved ones
- Handmade anniversary gift or birthday surprise
- Fan art, conceptual mashups, or even creative name designs
How It Works
You send me a clear photo, we chat about the style, and I get to work from my studio. I’ll ship the finished piece safely to you. Sometimes, it takes a bit longer if the details are tricky or if you want something really unique, but I always make sure it’s worth it.

My Story
Hey, I’m Chidu. Art is everything for me. You’ll usually find me sketching Kannada stars - Appu sir, Yash boss, Sudeep sir, Vishnu dada... I draw them with full heart. Sometimes I sit for hours just to get that smile right - ‘Nagutiru nee paramathma’ (Keep smiling, supreme soul). Gods like Shiva, Krishna, Jai Shri Ram - I love sketching them too. Parade tablo work with my team is fun, but mostly it’s me and my pencil, fighting with the paper. I hope my art shows my heart.
My Work
Custom handmade art - I create pencil sketches, realistic family portraits, color pencil art, charcoal work, scribble art, and blood art.
Photo to portrait - Send me your photo, I’ll make it come alive on paper using grid method for accuracy.
Celebrity and god sketches - I love drawing Kannada celebrity pencil sketches, Hindu god charcoal artwork, and even cricketers or movie characters.
Flexible styles - Realistic shading is my main style, but I also do acrylic paintings and scribble art commissions.
