## About Custom Portrait Sketches

Life gets noisy, but sketching is where I find sukoon. Every portrait I make is more than just lines - it’s a bit of my story mixed with yours. Sometimes even I’m surprised by the finished piece, like, “yeh maine banaya?” (Did I really make this?)

### What I Sketch

I do custom, hand-drawn realistic portraits from your favorite photos. My focus? To capture not just your face, but also your vibe. Options you can choose:
- Individual portraits (perfect if you want a pencil portrait from photo)
- Couple sketches for you, your partner, ya dost
- Family or group sketches - sabko ek frame mein (everyone in one frame)

### Process & Effort

This isn’t a filter job. I use Staedtler/Faber-Castell pencils on A3 or A4 - pure mehnat, grid lines, hours of shading. I get picky about details, which means your custom gift sketch gets patience and a lot of heart.

### Gifting Ideas

Want a unique anniversary present? Need to say sorry or just make someone’s day? Ek sketch se kaafi kuch ho sakta hai (A sketch can do a lot).

### Real Talk

I put my soul and crazy amounts of time into every piece. So, please don’t ask for free kaam. Your support keeps my passion alive and bills paid.

Got a deadline? Sometimes I’ve managed urgent deliveries in 24 hours. Just ask, I’ll try my best.

### My story

Main Satyam hoon. Engineering karta hoon, par asli sukoon toh sketchbook mein milta hai. Log bolte hain engineer banna, par main toh khwab pura karne sketch bana raha hoon. Jab bhi pencil uthata hoon, ajeeb life bhi ek khoobsurat sketch ban jaati hai. Raat ki neend chali gayi, par jab peeche dekhta hoon toh sab kuch art ki tarah pyara lagta hai. Bas, dil se sketching karta hoon.

### My work

- **Pencil Sketches - Realistic, Detailed**: Single portrait, couple portrait sketch, family, anime character sketch - sab kuch graphite aur charcoal pencil pe A4/A3 paper par.
- **Mehnat Wali Art**: Har sketch banane mein time, patience aur bohot mehnat lagti hai. Result - ek wow moment.
- **Perfect Gift for Anyone**: Crush ko impress karna ho ya family ko khush, ek custom sketch gift sabko pasand aata hai.
- **No Free Sketches, Please!**: Passion hai, par effort aur art supplies bhi lagte hain. Free mein mat puchna, dard hota hai!
