About Custom Portraits & Thematic Art
What I Do
I sketch portraits and thematic art that go way beyond just likeness. My thing is hyperrealistic charcoal portraits - I use only charcoal and graphite, sticking to black and white because it shows every little detail, every shadow. You get a piece that feels real, almost like you could reach out and touch it.
How I Work
My approach is personal. I use top-notch archival paper, so your art stays fresh for years. If you want a hand-drawn family keepsake or a personalized celebrity tribute drawing, I’ll work with you to get the vibe just right. I can go from smaller portraits to big statement pieces - size isn’t an issue.
What You Can Get
- Personal & family portraits that capture real personality, not just faces
- Tributes to icons, celebs - I focus on their energy, not just their look
- Thematic music-inspired artwork, dance, cultural themes (Lavani, Mudras and all that jazz), spiritual concepts if you’re into deeper stuff
The Process
We’ll chat about what you want, whether it’s super clear or just an idea floating around. I like keeping it collaborative so you get something that actually means something to you. Every piece is original and hand-drawn, meant to spark conversation or just make you stop and look for a moment.

My Story
Hey, I’m Om. Grew up in Latur, now hustling in Mumbai. Art’s my way of catching a vibe—sometimes it’s a wild animal, sometimes it’s a quiet face, all in charcoal and graphite. Judged a painting comp at IIT Bombay once, but honestly, nothing beats seeing a grandpa and his granddaughter chatting about my work. That’s real. That’s why I keep drawing.
My Work
What I Do - I make hyperrealistic charcoal portraits, custom graphite artwork, and offer prints of my original pieces.
My Style - Monochrome is my thing. I chase light, texture, and emotion in black and white.
Commissions - I sketch custom portraits and soulful commissioned sketches. Every subject gets its own vibe.
Subjects I Love - From tigers and elephants to ballet and musical instruments—if it’s got soul, I’ll draw it.
