Need a one-of-a-kind souvenir? I love turning faces into cartoons right on the spot. Whether you're at a fest or just want a cool new profile picture, let's get you sketched! ✨

I had the most amazing conversation with Arun sir, who is 80 years young and a total kid at heart. It's a blessing to meet such dynamic people and capture their spirit in a timeless pencil sketch.

Here's a close up of the art, showing the hand drawn details of a classic black and white caricature. I focus on capturing a fun likeness and key features, like the cap and sunglasses, to make each sketch unique.

This is a special mommy's edition, featuring a lovely lady from Nepal who is also a realistic artist. It's always inspiring to meet and sketch fellow artists.

Here's Alvin, looking cool and confident with his caricature. A solo portrait is a great way to get a unique and fun profile picture.

Meet Soukya. I loved her fun pants and happy vibe, which I tried to capture in her personal caricature.

Ft Sujatha from Hyderabad. Her expression says it all. I love it when a client's joy is so clear to see.

This is Rohit, an amazing human. A quick, live sketch is a fun experience and a great souvenir from a day out.

Meet Ramesh Shastry. It was a pleasure to draw him and capture his distinguished look in a caricature.

Meet Kavya. Her happy reaction to her sketch was wonderful. It's all about creating those smiles.

This is Dharani, and her happy face says everything. I love her beanie, it was a fun accessory to draw.

About Solo Portraits

When you sit for a solo portrait, it is not just about me drawing, it is about the chat we have while I sketch. Most people are a bit nervous at first, but after a few minutes, you will be laughing, and that is when I really capture the fun vibe you see in these photos.

My setup is super simple and portable. I just need two chairs and a well-lit space, and I am ready to go. For solo portraits, I focus on capturing your personality, from your favorite accessories like a beanie or headphones to the expression you make when you are happiest.

Every sketch usually takes about 4 to 6 minutes. It is quick, interactive, and gives your guests a real piece of art to take home. I use standard A4 bond paper for my classic black and white style, which is perfect for framing or posting on social media. If you are planning a larger event, I can also provide protective sleeves or custom branding so your guests have a clean, ready-to-carry souvenir.

I have sketched all kinds of folks in Bangalore, from artists and doctors to students just hanging out in the park. Whether it is a solo feature or a quick profile sketch for your office desk, my goal is to make sure you have a blast while we create something unique together.

I'm Harshini, and for me, sketching isn't just art, it is about connecting. I love the buzz of meeting new people, from cool 80-year-olds to busy professionals, and turning that energy into a sketch you can take home.
