Wildlife & Animal Art
From majestic tigers to my students' favourite pets, I love capturing the spirit of the animal kingdom. Whether you want to learn to sketch fur or get a custom portrait, let's bring these creatures to life.

About this collection
Whether we are working with white charcoal on black paper for that dramatic tiger gaze or layering watercolors for a soft equine portrait, the focus is always on the texture. If you are learning with me, we start by mapping out the anatomy before diving into the shading, so do not worry if you have never drawn an animal before.
Wildlife art requires patience, especially when you are trying to capture the intricate patterns of fur or feathers. In my online sessions, we break down animal anatomy into simple shapes first—circles for the head, lines for the limbs—so even beginners in Bengaluru and beyond can get it right.
For those taking classes
We cover various mediums. For students who love drama, white charcoal on black paper is a favourite for drawing big cats like tigers or lions. It really makes the eyes pop and brings the fur to life. If you prefer color, we use pencils or watercolours to study the vibrant feathers of macaws or flamingos. I believe art is about the process, not just the final frame, so we focus on having fun and enjoying the masti while we draw.
For custom commissions
If you have a favourite pet or a specific wildlife scene in mind, I can create a custom piece for you. I use professional-grade charcoal and graphite on acid-free paper, finishing each piece with a fixative spray to keep it smudge-free for years. Whether you want a charcoal portrait of your dog or a vibrant landscape for your living room, let us chat and bring it to life.
