ESTIMATESAbout Traditional Hand-Drawn Illustrations
I make art the old-school way - just me, my hands, and a sketchbook. No digital shortcuts, no filters. If you want something real, not perfect, you’re in the right place.
My Approach
I show up every day and draw, even when it’s messy. For me, it’s about the raw energy of creating by hand. I’m not chasing perfection, just that honest, handcrafted vibe. Ashtey (that’s it).
What I Offer
- Vibrant Alcohol Marker Portraits:
If you want your portrait to pop, this is it. I use Ohuhu markers on thick paper for bold colours and smooth blends. It’s not photorealism, but it’s got attitude and personality. - Classic Pen & Ink Sketches:
Love that raw, timeless look? My cross-hatching pen sketch style is all about texture and character. Feels like a page straight out of my own sketchbook.
The Process
We’ll chat about what you want - could be you, your friend, or even your pet. You pick the style, share your ideas, and I’ll handle the rest. My goal is to keep it real and make something we both vibe with.
If you’re after a custom sketchbook drawing that feels alive, not polished, I’m your guy.

My Story
Hey, I'm Manoj from Bengaluru. Art just kinda happens to me, ya know? Like, one minute I'm chilling in Cubbon Park, next thing—boom, yellow spider on my hand, and suddenly I'm sketching 'Spider-Man Bengaluru' on my iPad. That’s how most of my stuff starts—random, messy, sometimes silly. Not chasing perfection, just showing up and letting the weird ideas flow. That’s me, full power, every day.
My Work
Illustrations and Animations - I do digital art, anime-inspired digital illustrations, portraits, custom character design, and pop culture commissions.
Pop Culture Vibes - My art’s got bits of Dragon Ball, Kingsman, Ulidavaru Kandanthe and lots of Spider-Verse energy.
Go With The Flow - I just draw—sometimes a Procreate quick sketch, sometimes pen or marker, always what feels right.
All Human, No AI - Every piece is made by me, not AI. Showing up daily matters more than making it perfect.
