About Invert Art Portraits
As a Kalaakar, I chase stories, not just faces. My art isn't just what you see - it's what you discover. Invert Art portraits flip the script on regular sketches. At first, what you get looks like a photo negative, all reversed shades and colors. But that's only the beginning.
The Technique and Twist
I use opposite colors, swapping light for shadow, black for white. It's like making a negative sketch, but you need to really understand how light works. It's not easy. You need patience, a sharp eye, and a lot of mehnat (hard work). You can't rush this - every custom invert sketch takes hours.
The Reveal - Asli Jaadu
Here's the fun part. Once you have your drawing, grab your phone, turn on the 'invert colors' filter, and point it at the art. Suddenly, the hidden image drawing is revealed - a hyper-realistic portrait that pops out, making all the effort worth it. People have actually said, "Arrey, kya magic hai yeh!" (Wow, what magic is this!)
What I Create
- Individual portraits from your photo - just send it, and I’ll handle the rest.
- Unique fan art portrait for your favorite legend, hero, or even monster.
- Birthday, anniversary, or just something special for your wall - trust me, it stands out.
If you want art that surprises you, makes people stop and stare, then this is it.

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.
