Each of these hand-drawn sketches is a shradhanjali (tribute), capturing the spirit of heroes we lost. ## Photos and videos - ![My tribute to the unforgettable Irrfan Khan.

I draw every single tribute by hand using permanent markers and fine-liners—no digital filters, no shortcuts. It is about the soul in the lines. If you have a personal hero you want to celebrate, I can create a similar hand-drawn piece for your home or office. ### Why I Draw Tributes For me, an artist’s work is a dialogue. Drawing legends like Irrfan Khan or Ratan Tata isn't just about the portrait; it is about remembering the impact they had on us. When I pick up my markers, I am not trying to create a photograph. I am trying to catch a feeling—the smile, the intensity, or the grace that made them special. ### The Process: My Markers vs. Digital Most modern sketches you see online are digital files. Mine are different. Every sketch you see in this gallery started as blank paper. I use black permanent markers and gel pens to build shadows and features, layer by layer. This manual process takes patience and steady hands, but it ensures you get a physical piece of art that you can frame and hold in your hands. ### Can I Draw Your Personal Hero? If you see a style here that you love, you don't have to wait for a celebrity portrait. I apply the same dedication to your personal tributes. Whether it is a grandparent, a mentor, or a parent you want to honor, I can turn your favorite photograph into a hand-drawn sketch. * **Originality:** No two drawings are the same; every stroke is unique. * **Physical Artwork:** You receive the actual paper artwork, not a digital file. * **Framing:** All tribute sketches come with a standard synthetic wood frame, ready to be mounted on your wall. If you have a photo and a story to share, let's talk. I am happy to discuss how we can create a meaningful portrait that truly honors the person you admire. ## About SKD Main SKD hoon, and for me, art has always been about catching the true essence of a person. I don’t use software; I rely on my hands, my pens, and a lifetime of observing people to create these portraits.
