About Custom Artwork
I'm Shashank, and for me, art is about real connections. I love working with people who want something personal, not just a pretty picture but a piece that means something. Art these days, lagta hai, thoda business ho gaya hai (feels like it's more business now), so I'm stubborn about staying original. When you get a custom piece from me, it’s my skills and your memories coming together.
What I Make
- Pencil Sketches: If you want realism, I do detailed pencil portraits - all the little features, classic white or bold black paper. For those who like a bit more raw emotion, expressive sketches are my jam.
- Watercolor Paintings: Watercolor lets me play with softness and color. I paint everything from solo to couple portraits or even city and village scenes. If you want your favourite place as a custom landscape artwork, I can do that too.
How We Work Together
- You tell me your idea or moment
- Send your reference photos
- I’ll make the artwork in my studio
- Art comes safely packed, anywhere in India
Honestly, a hand-painted watercolor memory or a personalized pencil portrait is more than just a gift - it’s an emotional gift painting. People have teared up seeing their memories on paper. That’s why I do what I do.

My Story
Hi, I’m Shashank. Art is everything for me—teaching, learning, sharing. I’ve run workshops everywhere from IIT BHU to Sunder Nursery, and started art communities and an art materials business. Life ka maza toh travel mein hai (the real fun is in travel), like my Kerala to Munnar bike trip—nature always sneaks into my sketchbook. But yaar, art world can be tricky—scams, copying, sab hota hai (everything happens). I just want my students to find their own voice, asli wala (the real one).
My Work
Art Commissions & Workshops - I do pencil portrait commissions, watercolor paintings, and host watercolor landscape workshops in cities and online.
How My Classes Go - We dive into basics—live art demo classes, figure drawing, landscapes, market scenes. I show techniques, not just theory.
Advice for Artists - Ek baat suno (listen up): Don’t copy. Submit your own work, check if competitions are legit. Art is about being real.
My Art Style - Mostly watercolors and pencil, inspired by Indian daily life—markets, villages, travel moments, portraits with a story.
