About Custom Caricature Sketches
Before I pick up my fine-liner pens, we start with a simple pencil draft to get the composition right. You get to approve the layout, including those fun little details like a guitar or your pet, before I commit to the permanent ink lines. It is all about getting that balance between a funny exaggeration and a sketch you will actually want to frame.
People often ask if these are digital prints because the lines look so sharp. I use fineliner pens on 180+ GSM acid-free paper, focusing on clean cross-hatching to get those shadows right. This is all part of my 'Doodle Yatra'—a personal project where I challenge myself to draw daily, which is how I honed the ability to spot the specific quirk in a person's expression that makes a caricature work.
When you order a caricature, you are not just getting a drawing; you are getting a piece of that journey. Whether it is a couple's anniversary gift, a pet portrait, or a funny way to capture a friend's hobby—like a guitar or a favorite outfit—I focus on the details that make the person 'them'. Since I do not use color fill, the monochromatic black and white look keeps the focus entirely on the subject’s face and expression.
I keep the process simple: you send me your photo, we discuss the composition, and once you approve the pencil draft, I start the inking. Everything is framed in a sturdy A5 or A4 frame, ready to be hung or gifted immediately. If you have an idea, even a wild one, let us talk about it. I love sketching stories. Har Har Mahadev!
