I finish every piece with a professional matte fixative spray to lock in the deep blacks of the charcoal, keeping your drawing smudge-free and ready for your wall. Whether you have a crisp digital photo or an old, cherished family picture, I can turn it into a high-quality charcoal portrait. My process is simple: you send the reference, and I handle the shading and detail to bring the subject to life. I provide each sketch in a black or brown synthetic frame with a protective glass or acrylic sheet, so it arrives ready to hang. If you are looking to honor a loved one, remember a milestone, or just want a piece of art that feels personal, this is the way to do it. I focus on realistic textures, from hair to fabric, to make sure the final result feels like the person you know. I am based in Bengaluru, but I ship these portraits safely across India. ## About Sharan Ediga I’m Sharan, and I believe a good portrait should feel more like a memory than just a drawing. I work from your photos to create simple, honest charcoal sketches that capture exactly how your family or partner looks in their best moments.
