For me, drawing isn't just work - it's the way I connect with people and spread a bit of preethi (love) around. Every sketch I make is a chikka prayatna (small attempt) to give you something real, not just digital. ### Your Photos, My Touch I turn your favourite photos into custom pencil artwork. Sometimes I use pencil for sharp, realistic black and white drawing, especially for details like hair and eyes. Sometimes I switch to charcoal for a softer finish. You get a portrait that's more personal than a photo on your phone. ### Something for Everyone - Individual portraits to keep someone's memory close - Couple sketches for anniversaries, weddings, or just because - Family portrait from photos, even if the people are in different pictures - mixing them together in one drawing is tumba khushi (a lot of happiness) for me ### My Process - Hege Kelasa Maadutte? You send me a clear photo, I pick up my pencils and start. I work on A4 or A3 paper, hand-drawing every detail. Framing is also handled if you want. Seeing the smile when someone gets their portrait - that's the best part. ### Details Matter I'm a bit obsessed with making things look real. I spend extra time on things like the shine in jewellery or the light in someone's eyes, so the portrait feels alive. ## Highlights Browse through Sagar Kumar's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/sagar_arts17/custom-black-white-portraits/featured) - [Video: This is a custom A3 portrait I created from a client's photo.
