About

Main ek Kalaakar hoon, and for me, every portrait is more than just a picture - it's an emotion captured on paper. Been at this since bachpan (childhood), I chase that moment where a sketch feels alive.

What Sets My Portraits Apart

I create photorealistic graphite drawings and custom charcoal portraits using top-grade paper and pencils. The goal? Making your portrait look bilkul (exactly) like a detailed black and white photo, but with the extra emotion that digital photos can't touch.

  • Every line, shadow, and texture is layered by hand.
  • I use a grid method for accurate proportions, so faces look just right.
  • It’s not just copying - it’s catching the tiniest details, from the shine in your hair to the folds in your kurta.

Kaafi Mehnat (A Lot Of Effort)

Drawing isn’t quick. Some pieces take me 22 hours, others even 98. I get into the zone, headphones on, and lose track of time until the piece feels complete.

  • Realistic texture rendering is a big deal for me - skin, fabric, everything.
  • Only professional tools, no shortcuts.

Who I Draw

My muses are pop culture legends, family heroes, and anyone with a story. From Rocky Bhai to Guddu Pandit, I love putting energy into iconic faces. But I also make heartfelt tribute sketches and personal portraits - your loved ones, a special moment, or a memory you want to keep forever.

Bringing Your Photo To Life

You send me a photo, and I turn it into a hand-drawn pencil art piece. Doesn’t matter if it’s a celebrity, a family group, or just you. I take commissions pan-India, no fuss.

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.
