Bring your favorite memories to life with a hand-drawn portrait. Whether it is a couple sketch or a tribute to a loved one, I use traditional shading and detailing to turn your digital photos into timeless art.

See how I turn a cherished photograph into a timeless hand-drawn pencil portrait. This A4 commission for a client from Odisha involved carefully shading the faces and detailing the saree to capture the couple's special bond. If you want a portrait, just send me a message.

About Custom Portraits: Turning Memories into Art

For custom portraits, I use heavy-duty, acid-free cartridge paper so the sketch does not yellow over time. I focus heavily on texture, like the embroidery on a saree or the specific fabric folds of a shirt, because that is where the real story lives. When we start, please send me a high-resolution photo; the clearer the lighting, the deeper the shading I can achieve on the paper.

Hi, I am Faizan. For me, art is about pausing the rush of life to capture a quiet moment on paper. I do not believe in quick sketches; I believe in putting time and sukoon into every single line I draw for you.
