I’ve been doing this for 22 years, and every learner brings something different to the table. My studio is in Koramangala, Bangalore, but you can also join online, wherever you are. ### Who Shows Up Here Honestly, there’s no one “type” - I see total newbies, busy parents, stressed-out working folks, and serious art students. If you want to figure out the basics or push yourself to do more realistic pencil sketching, you’ll find your spot. ### What We Do - Start with pencil basics and work up to advanced shading and blending - Move into drawing realistic portraits (from photos or live models) with pencils, charcoal, or dry pastels - Try out ink illustration classes and explore other mediums in our workshops - I keep it hands-on, and you get personal attention no matter your pace ### How Classes Work - Regular batches if you want to build skills week by week - Charcoal portrait workshops and focused sessions for deep-dives - Flexible, pay-as-you-learn setup for busy lives - Both weekday and weekend timings ### Supplies & Stuff For workshops, I usually sort out all the art materials. For regular classes, I’ll let you know exactly what you need when we chat.
