I use a specialized, high-quality crimson pigment that captures deep, realistic tones. It creates a bold, monochromatic look that feels more intense than a standard sketch, making it perfect for preserving a moment or a person who really matters to you. When you send me a photograph, I look for the emotion, not just the features. My approach with these portraits is different from the caricatures I do at events. It is quiet, deliberate work done from my studio in Vijayanagar. ### How the process works Once you share a clear photo, I begin sketching with a focus on depth and shadow using this specific crimson medium. Because the color palette is limited to deep reds and browns, the human eye focuses entirely on the expression and the details of the subject. Whether it is a traditional portrait or a tribute, the monochromatic effect ensures the subject stands out. ### Ordering a portrait I offer two primary ways to have these done. For solo portraits, I use A4 acid-free paper, delivering the artwork unframed in a secure safety tube so it reaches you without damage. For couple or family portraits, I work on larger A3 paper. These come pre-framed in a premium wood finish with an acrylic sheet, meaning they are ready to hang on your wall the moment they arrive. Each piece gets a double coat of archival varnish. This is not just to make it look nice, but to protect those deep red tones from fading or reacting to humidity over time. If you are looking for a gift that carries a different kind of intensity, this is a path worth taking. ## About Shivaraj I am Shivaraj. While most people know me for my live event caricatures and making crowds laugh, these portrait commissions are where I slow down. I love creating these 'nenapina chitragalu' (pictures of memories) because they capture the quiet, heartfelt moments that a quick cartoon sketch cannot.
