It is a slow, meditative process where I build the entire image using thousands of individual dots on heavyweight Bristol paper, creating a high-contrast piece that really stands out from standard sketches. I offer two distinct ways to capture a face on paper, each requiring a different approach and level of patience. ### Mixed Media Sketches This is my go-to for a raw, artistic feel. I combine charcoal shading for the facial features with a loose watercolor wash in the background to add depth. These are perfect for a quick, impactful gift. I frame these in synthetic wood, and they are usually ready for you in 3 to 5 days. ### Stippling Dot Art This is my most detailed work. There are no lines, only thousands of ink dots that determine the light and shadow on the subject's face. Because of the density required to get the details right, this takes 10 to 14 days to produce. The result is a timeless, monochromatic portrait that feels more like a sculpture than a drawing. It is created on premium, smooth-finish Bristol paper. ### The Process It starts with you sending me a good, clear photograph. I work from my studio in Bhayandar West, Mumbai, ensuring every piece has my full attention. Whether you are looking for a birthday surprise or a heartfelt tribute, I focus on capturing the soul of the subject, not just the features. Apni kala se main dil se jodta hoon (I connect from the heart through my art). Once the artwork is ready, I use matte fixative to protect it from smudging before it heads your way. ## About Omprakash Chaurasia I am Omprakash, a Mumbai-based artist. I believe portraits should tell a story, which is why I put so much care into every line and dot I draw. When you commission a piece from me, you are not just getting a drawing, you are getting a memory I have spent days crafting.
