Featured Artwork & Custom Illustrations
A snapshot of the madness and magic from my desk. From hyper-realistic pencil strokes to vibrant anime colors, these are the pieces I'm most proud of.
This hyper-realistic pencil drawing of Medusa is one of my most detailed works. I focused on the intense texture of the snakes and her powerful expression, using layers of graphite to create deep contrast and a lifelike feel.
A mixed-media fan art piece of Deadpool and Wolverine. I combined the sharp, graphic style of colored pencils and markers with detailed graphite shading to capture the energy of these two iconic comic book characters.
This video shows the result of hours of practice in shading and form. The final piece is a hyper-realistic pencil portrait where I focused on creating soft, smooth skin tones and capturing the emotion in her eyes.
A close-up of a realistic eye study I created digitally. Using an iPad, I can build up layers of color and texture to achieve a high level of detail, making the eye appear wet and reflective.
A time-lapse of me creating a serene, snowy mountain landscape with acrylics. I built this scene layer by layer, starting with the sky and mountains, then adding the reflective water and delicate trees to complete the peaceful atmosphere.
This piece was a fun challenge in texture. I used fine graphite pencils to create the realistic effect of sand on skin, focusing on the contrast between the smooth skin and the grainy texture for a unique and striking portrait.
Watch the process of my Medusa drawing coming to life. This video shows how I start with a blank page and slowly build up layers of shading and detail with graphite pencils to create a complex and powerful mythological portrait.
About this collection
Each piece here is a mix of patience, good music, and lots of coffee. Whether it's a hyper-realistic portrait or an anime sketch, I spend hours layering graphite until the skin looks real or blending markers for that perfect pop. I'm always experimenting, and these featured works are just a snapshot of the messes and magic I make at my desk.
Art is my therapy, and honestly, every piece you see here is a result of trial, error, and plenty of '3h ki mehnat' (3 hours of hard work). I don't believe in perfect art, just honest progress.
What I'm into
- Hyper-realistic Portraits: This is where I go deep. I use high-grade Faber-Castell and Staedtler graphite to capture skin pores, hair strands, and the emotion in the eyes. It's slow work, but that contrast is worth it.
- Anime & Pop Culture: When I need to switch things up, I grab my Ohuhu markers and Prismacolor pencils. This is all about bold lines and high-contrast color—perfect for fan art or turning your photos into a stylized character.
- Digital Sketches: My iPad is my portable sketchbook. From clean line art to full digital paintings, this is where I do my quick studies and character concepts.
Why work with me?
If you want something mass-produced, I'm probably not your guy. But if you want a hand-drawn piece that’s got real personality, I'm here for it. I'm currently based in the Delhi NCR region, but I ship physical graphite and marker artwork anywhere in India. If you have a specific idea—like a mythological character, a gift for a loved one, or just a cool concept—send me a message. Let’s figure out how to make it happen.
