## About Custom Portraits from Your Photos

I don't rely on digital tricks or printing. Every portrait is built layer by layer using a standard blue or black ballpoint pen through a technique called cross-hatching. It takes me anywhere from 10 to 28 hours to finish one piece, which is why I need a high-quality, clear photo from you to really capture those tiny details like eye reflections, jewelry, or fabric patterns.

### How I Work
My process is straightforward and rooted in patience. When you send a clear photo, I analyze the light and shadows before putting pen to paper. I work primarily on 200 GSM heavy-grain drawing paper, using the ballpoint pen's ink to create texture and depth that a pencil simply can't achieve.

**What to expect:**
*   **Cross-hatching:** This is my signature style. By overlapping tiny lines, I create realistic skin tones and fabric textures.
*   **The Details:** I use white gel pens to add life to eye reflections and metallic accents on jewelry or traditional attire.
*   **Preservation:** Once the sketch is complete, I apply a professional fixative spray. This seals the ink, preventing smudging and fading over time.

### Ordering a Portrait
Whether you need a classic A4 size for a desk or a large A3 format for a living room wall, I have options to suit your space. 

1.  **Select Your Size:** Choose between A4 for single subjects or A3 for couples and deities.
2.  **Share the Photo:** A clear, high-resolution image works best. If you have specific traditional attire or a jewelry style you want me to emphasize, tell me—bolo toh.
3.  **Safe Shipping:** I know how precious these are, so I roll every finished artwork in a hard, weather-proof PVC tube. I ship across India from Jodhpur, ensuring it reaches you in perfect condition.

I treat every commission as a piece of prayer. If you want something real, hand-drawn with heart, and made to last, let's connect.
