About Portraits of Bollywood and Web Series Stars

You might notice the skin texture and fabric detail in my work, which comes from spending 90 to 95 hours on a single piece. I use a grid method to ensure perfect proportions before I even touch the charcoal, so the final sketch looks like a detailed photograph rather than a simple drawing.

I am a Kalaakar who lives for the details. I do not just copy a photo, I spend days capturing the intensity in an actor's eyes or the specific grit of a character like Guddu Pandit. If you want a portrait that feels alive and carries a story, we should talk.
