Naanu Sagar, nimma pencil artist (I am Sagar, your pencil artist) - sketching is my way to spread good vibes and cut down on negativity. Every portrait I make is a small effort to capture life’s moments, one sketch at a time. ### Live Portraits, Real-Time Connection Ever wanted to see your portrait come alive right in front of you? I do on-the-spot portrait drawing using pencil and charcoal. You sit for a short while, and I’ll sketch a realistic, black and white portrait - simple, personal, and kinda magical. ### Events with a Twist Weddings, birthday parties, office events - I can set up anywhere. Guests love watching their face appear on paper, and many go home with hand-drawn guest keepsakes. Trust me, it’s always a hit and makes the event feel special. ### Mobile Studio, Local Vibes My studio is literally my car. I travel across Bangalore, Ramanagara, wherever art calls. Sometimes, I sketch random folks - security guards, fruit sellers - and gift them a portrait. These little moments keep me going. ### How I Sketch - Style: Always realism - I want the sketch to look just like you. - Medium: Black and white, all done with pencils and charcoal. - You get: A physical, hand-drawn portrait. Framing is optional, if you want. ## Highlights Browse through Sagar Kumar's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/sagar_arts17/live-portrait-sketching/featured) - [Video: This is why I do what I do.
