Whether it is the signature 'Hitman' stare or Thala's calm smile, I use professional-grade graphite to layer texture, focusing on the tiny details like eye reflections and skin pores that make these moments feel real for every fan. Every piece I create starts with the same respect I have for the game itself. When you order a portrait, I am not just sketching a photo; I am capturing a memory. ### How I Work I use high-quality, acid-free cartridge paper (200-300 GSM) to ensure your artwork stays crisp and doesn't yellow over time. For these cricket legends, I focus heavily on contrast, using professional graphite and charcoal pencils to bring depth to their expressions. ### Why Choose My Sketches - **Detail-Oriented:** I take my time. From the stubble of a beard to the logo on a cap, I don't rush the process. - **Safe Shipping:** I know how precious these pieces are. I pack every portrait between rigid foam boards to ensure it reaches you in Delhi NCR or anywhere in India without a single crease. - **Transparent Process:** You will get a high-res digital scan and regular work-in-progress updates so you know exactly how your piece is shaping up. Whether it's a gift for a fellow fan or a tribute to your personal hero, bas batao kya chahiye, and let’s create something special together. 🫶🏼 ## About Shubham Dogra Hi, I’m Shubham.
