Hand-Drawn Portraits from Your Photos

I work across a range of styles because every memory has a different energy. If you have a classic portrait in mind, I use high-quality graphite and charcoal on 200 GSM cartridge paper to capture every detail, from the expressions in the eyes to the texture of clothing. These are finished with a professional fixative to prevent smudging and keep the art crisp for years to come.

For something more modern, my high-contrast shadow art uses solid black permanent ink on heavy 300 GSM paper. This creates a graphic, pop-art style that looks fantastic on a wall. It is perfect for photos with strong lighting, as it turns shapes into bold silhouettes.

Whether you choose a single face or a couple portrait, the process starts with a quick discussion. I can even merge multiple photos into one cohesive composition if you want to bring family members together who were not in the same frame. Once the sketch is finalized, I pack it in reinforced, moisture-resistant packaging so it arrives at your door anywhere in India in perfect condition. Since these are all hand-drawn, I spend specific time on each layer, especially with the shadow work which requires drying time between steps. Let me know what your photo looks like and we can start the conversation.
