I love the raw emotion of charcoal on paper, as it is timeless, honest, and completely yours. ## Photos and videos - ![A peek at a piece I never completed.

Every sketch gets a professional fixative spray, so your memories will not smudge or fade. Whether you are looking to preserve an old, faded family photograph or want a modern, realistic portrait, charcoal offers a depth that other mediums often miss. My process starts with a conversation about the vibe you want, and from there, I work on bringing the subject to life on high-quality paper. I specialize in restoring details from those blurry, precious physical prints you might have stashed away. Even if the original photo is not perfect, I can reconstruct the features and shading to create a clear, beautiful piece. You can choose between A4 or A3 sizes depending on where you plan to display the art. The standard turnaround time for these pieces is 4 to 7 days, as I take time to layer the charcoal and graphite to get the shading just right. Since these are monochrome, they look stunning in minimalist home decor or as a classic, thoughtful gift for someone special. ## About Megha I am Megha. Honestly, nothing beats the raw feel of charcoal on paper as it is just pure emotion. I pour all my heart into every sketch to make sure your memories last.
