A friend asked me to draw her mother's father, a man she had never seen, who passed away 43 years ago. Using her aunt's photo as the only reference, I created this memorial portrait to finally give her a face to connect with her beloved 'Appa'.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/6350cf79-1d98-4abb-a46a-fb9a08045347) - [Video: Art is about spreading joy.

Even if you only have a damaged, blurry, or tiny old photograph of a loved one, I use careful reconstruction techniques to bring their features back to life on paper. I share a work-in-progress draft with you before the final shading, so we ensure the expression matches your memory perfectly. My art is about preserving moments. Whether it is a tribute to a loved one who has passed or a celebration of your family's bond, I approach every sketch with the same dedication I give to my live portraits on the street. I offer several distinct styles: * Charcoal and Graphite: My go-to for timeless, soulful black-and-white portraits. This works best for memorial pieces where you want deep contrast and realistic texture. * Scribble Art: A modern, energetic style using continuous lines. It creates movement and a unique depth that looks stunning on a feature wall. * Ballpoint Pen: Ideal if you are looking for intricate, fine-detailed portraits that have a sharp, clean finish. ### The Process Every piece is hand-drawn on acid-free artist-grade paper. For my memorial portraits, which are often my most challenging work, I can merge multiple reference photos or even use a family member's photo to reconstruct a likeness of someone you have lost. Once the drawing is complete, I apply a clear matte fixative spray to prevent smudging. Everything is framed in a 0.75 to 1-inch synthetic wood frame with glass, reinforced with multi-layer bubble wrap, and shipped safely anywhere in India. If you have a specific photo, even if it is low-resolution, reach out. We can discuss how to make it a piece of art you will treasure. ## About Ravish Harikantra I am Ravish Harikantra, a self-taught artist from Ankola.
