About

Why I Draw

Art isn’t just a hobby for me - it’s my lifeline. When I felt stuck, anxious, or just plain lost, I’d draw to let it all out. Every custom portrait I make has a bit of that honesty in it. You send me your photo, I turn it into something real and lasting.

What I Can Draw for You

  • Individual portraits (yourself, someone you love, or even your pet)
  • Couples and families, because relationships deserve to be celebrated
  • Hand drawn pet portrait if your furry buddy is basically family
  • Special requests - from famous faces to religious art or even quirky Snapchat-filter selfies
  • I’m all about realism, sometimes even pushing to hyperrealistic pencil portrait levels

My Tools & Style

  • For black and white: graphite and charcoal on thick, quality paper (think Brustro, Fabriano)
  • For colour: Doms and Maped pencils for bold, vibrant looks
  • I use the good stuff so your personalized family artwork actually lasts

My Process (The Real Stuff)

  • Not gonna lie, sometimes I procrastinate. I once spent 10 months on a single piece - but when I get in the zone, I give it everything.
  • Before I start, we’ll chat about your idea and the photo you want to use. I’ll keep you in the loop with work-in-progress shots.
  • Based in Delhi, but I ship worldwide.

P.S. Dekh raha hai na Binod... tu bhi apni photo bhej de, masterpiece banwa le! (Are you watching, Binod? Send your photo in, let’s make it a masterpiece!)

My Story

Hey, Tarun here, straight outta Delhi. Art for me? Not just pretty pictures. It's how I make sense of my mess. I’m not gonna lie, sometimes I’m lazy as hell—like that Zakir Khan portrait, took me almost a year! Still, every piece, even the slow ones, means something. When my head gets heavy, I draw it out. No filters, just me, real and raw. Dekho, jo dekhna hai dekh lo (see what you want to see).

My Work

Custom Handmade Portraits - I make portraits from your photos using graphite, charcoal, or color pencils. Real faces, real details.

Live Sketching & Murals - You’ll spot me at weddings or events, doing live portrait sketching. I also paint murals and murtis.

Realism & Hyperrealism - Obsessed with details—hair, eyes, all of it. Love hyperrealistic graphite drawings and ballpoint pen crosshatching.

Conceptual Art from the Heart - I draw about stuff like anxiety and love. Pieces like 'Burden' come from my own struggles.

Teaching & Honest Process - I share step-by-step drawing guides. If I’m slow ‘cause life happens, I’ll tell you. Art’s worth it.
