About

I take your regular photos and turn them into hand-drawn caricatures, right from my studio in Pune. Whether you want something funny, sentimental, or just a cool memory, I try to put real personality into every piece. It’s a good way to make someone laugh or just keep a special moment alive.

Who & What I Draw

• Solo portraits with quirky themes - like someone trekking, cycling, or just chilling with a chai.
• Couple caricatures - super popular for wedding invitations or as anniversary presents.
• Big family or group shots - everyone together, looking their best (or silliest).
• Pets with their humans - these are really close to my heart, I love capturing that bond.

Styles to Pick From

• Classic cartoon style - bold, playful, a bit exaggerated.
• Digital cartoon portrait from photo - drawn on my iPad, lots of color and clean lines.
• Watercolor caricature artwork - done on paper, has that old-school, artsy vibe.
• Semi-realistic - not too exaggerated, more like a portrait with a twist.

What You Get

Besides just a digital file, I can give you framed prints, or even mount the caricature as a wooden cut-out with a glossy finish and a personal message. Makes for a personalized caricature gift that stands out at any party or office desk.

I keep it simple - you send me your photos and ideas, I do the drawing. If you’re in Pune, you can even say “bhai, thoda hatke chahiye” (bro, I want something different) and we’ll figure it out together.
