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. ## About Ishika Vishwakarma I'm just a girl who believes art is the best way to run away without leaving home. I pour my heart into every sketch, treating each stroke like a prayer, and I can't wait to help you turn your memories into something you'll keep forever.
