I look for the story behind their expression at that specific moment in the news. Whether I am using ink for deep black-and-white hatching or subtle acrylics for a portrait, my goal is to keep the art honest and raw, just like the editorial cartoons I started with. ### Hand-Drawn vs Digital Digital art has its place, but there is an *apni bhasha* (a unique language) in lines drawn by hand. When I capture global leaders or tech innovators, I focus on strong, definitive strokes. That is the same approach I bring to custom commissions. I prefer the old-school feel of ink on paper because it carries a weight that pixels often miss. ### How I Create Your Custom Caricature If you are thinking of getting a caricature done, know that I do not use automated filters. I start with a rough pencil sketch—which we can refine together—to ensure the personality matches the vibe you want. Be it a funny caricature of a boss, a couple, or a friend, the process is simple: * **The Idea:** You share the photo and the 'vibe' (what they do, their quirks, or their favourite props). * **The Sketch:** I draft the layout and exaggerate features just enough to be funny but clearly recognisable. * **The Final Piece:** We finalise the details, and I complete the artwork using high-quality materials like 250 GSM ivory sheets and premium markers, or a high-resolution digital file if you prefer. ### Global Figures to Personal Gifts Drawing figures like global leaders is my way of engaging with the world, but the *keeda* (obsession) I have for art finds its real home in your personal gifts. Whether you need a framed artwork for a birthday, a farewell, or a thoughtful tribute, the craftsmanship remains the same. I work on A3 or A4 sizes, ensuring every piece has that hand-drawn, authentic touch. ## About SKD I am SKD. I didn't go to art school, but I learned by fixing torn pages from old books back in my village. Today, I use those same hands to draw caricatures of global figures and custom portraits that bring a genuine smile to anyone's face.
