## About Custom Portrait Sketches

### Har Sketch Ek Emotion Hai

For me, har sketch sirf drawing nahi hota, ek emotion hota hai (every sketch isn't just a drawing, it's an emotion). I try to catch that feeling in your photo, not just the face. If you want something real, something that makes you say, "Bhot pyaara hai!" (It's very lovely), that's what I aim for.

### Pencil Magic: Details Matter

I use graphite and charcoal pencils for realistic pencil sketch work. The eyes, the smile, the hair - I pay attention to those tiny details. Sometimes it takes hours, but the reaction when you see your portrait makes it worth it.

### Gift That Hits Different

A personalized art gift is always special. Birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, ya phir just because - a hand-drawn family portrait or custom couple sketch is a memory you can hold.

### Simple Process, Your Way

- Send me a clear photo
- We talk about size, style, and any custom touches
- I draw using a grid method for accuracy, layer by layer
- You get the finished artwork

### Custom Options

- Choose from A4, A3, A2 sizes on thick paper
- Solo, couple, family, or even mini sketches
- Mostly black and white, but I can add a bit of colour if you want

### Delivered Anywhere in India

I pack each sketch carefully and deliver all over India, so your portrait arrives safe and ready to frame.
