I create hyper-realistic, hand-drawn portraits of pop-culture legends and warriors. I dedicate over 90 hours to each piece, aiming to capture the raw power and story behind the face, not just a likeness.

My Story
Art is my old friend. Born and raised in Karnataka, I lost touch with it for a bit, but came back. You know, you can't fix the start, but you sure can change the end. Since 2017, I've poured myself into every portrait. Drawing Puneeth Rajkumar sir was emotional - kannadiga pride, always. Sushant Singh too, memories that stick. Met Sunil Chhetri, made him smile with my art. Armaan Malik held my work on stage, called it lovely. Moments like that? Worth every sleepless night.
My Work
Hyper-Realistic Portraits - I make hand-drawn, hyper-realistic celebrity portraits and custom graphite pieces for anyone across India.
More Than Just a Photo - I spend 90+ hours on some pieces. It's not copying, it's catching the real story and soul.
Tributes & Fan Art - From Hrithik Roshan to Yash as Rocky Bhai, I draw legends and heroes who inspire me - my way of tribute.
Invert Art Technique - I experiment with invert art, flipping black and white for a unique, striking effect. Patience pays off here.
