My Sketchbook Practice: Behind the Scenes of My Art
Art is a journey of constant learning. Take a peek into my 'Doodle Yatra' sketchbook, where I practice daily to sharpen my skills for your portraits.
Day 7 of my doodle challenge. Practicing human anatomy, from the basic structure of the head and torso to the placement of limbs.
Day 5 of the challenge, focusing on sketching different eye and nose combinations to capture various expressions.
Day 4 was all about noses. Sketching them from different angles and with different shapes helps me understand their structure.
Day 3 was dedicated to practicing ears, which have so many unique curves and shadows.
Day 2 of my travel sketchbook. I filled this page with sketches of mouths and lips to practice conveying different emotions.
Day 1 of my 60-day challenge. I started by filling a page with eye sketches, because they are the most expressive part of any portrait.

About My Sketchbook Practice
Ever wonder how I capture the exact expression in a portrait? It starts right here in my daily sketchbook. I dedicate time every single day to anatomy studies—focusing on the structure of eyes, noses, and lips—so that when I work on your commissioned portrait, my hand is steady and ready to perfectly capture your story.
Consistency is everything to me. For me, art isn't just about the final piece; it's about the hours of deliberate practice that go into every stroke. My 'Doodle Yatra' challenge was born from a need to balance my busy routine with my passion, and I treat these daily exercises with the same seriousness as a client order.
By spending time sketching anatomy daily—really looking at the curve of an ear or the depth of an eye—I ensure that when you book a portrait with me, you are getting work built on a solid foundation. Whether you are looking for a classic graphite sketch or a vibrant acrylic canvas, I treat every commission with the focus I put into these daily practice pages. If you have a specific photo you want transformed into a keepsake, know that I am constantly refining my craft to make sure I get the details just right.
