These pages are the blueprints for my workshops and the foundation of the custom portraits I create for you guys. If you see a style here that you connect with, I can bring that same energy to your own custom commission. I believe that anyone can draw, but I also know that art is a process. This cluster showcases what I do when I am not teaching. You will find pages from my cafe hopping sessions in Mumbai, my experiments with mural painting on my home walls, and the slow, technical work that goes into my hyper-realistic graphite portraits. ### My Art Process My work typically evolves from these raw sketchbook pages. When I am doing urban sketching, I focus on capturing the energy of the space and the people in it. Coffee painting is a huge part of this; I love using it for its warm, sepia tones, which bring a unique life to illustrations. For more technical projects, like my eye sketches, I switch to charcoal and graphite, focusing on light and shadow until the drawing feels right. ### Custom Commissions Because art should live with people and not just sit in a folder, I accept custom orders. Whether you want a portrait based on a favorite photograph, a custom-painted denim jacket, or a memory collage, I can work with you to make it happen. My goal is always to keep it authentic, just like the work you see here. If you have a specific idea or a project in mind, let's chat about how we can turn it into something real. You just bring the idea, and we will figure out the rest. ## About Kshitij I'm Kshitij, and I really believe that anyone can draw if you just let go of the pressure. Whether I am painting a denim jacket with a dragon or sketching eyes in a cafe, art is just my way of being present. Come check out what I am currently working on—you might find something you would like for yourself.
