Client Love: What My Sketching Means to You
Getting a reaction like 'Bhot pyaara hai' is the best part of my work. See what people are saying after they receive their handmade portraits.

About Happy Clients, Happy Me
It is not just about drawing a face on paper, it is about the relief people feel when the portrait arrives exactly how they imagined it. Most of my clients are gifting these sketches to their loved ones for anniversaries or birthdays, so they are naturally nervous about how the final piece will look. When they message me after opening the package, sharing their excitement or how happy their partner was with the surprise, that is when I know I have done my job well.
More Than Just a Drawing
When you commission a realistic pencil portrait, you are not just buying art, you are freezing a memory. Whether it is an A3 double-photo portrait for an anniversary or a miniature sketch for a locket, my goal remains the same: capturing the feeling behind the photo.
Why Clients Choose My Work
- Accuracy: I use the grid method to ensure facial features are precise, followed by layer-by-layer shading to get the skin tones and expressions right.
- Quality Materials: I work with 200 GSM acid-free paper and apply an archival fixative spray. This ensures that the artwork does not smudge or yellow over time, making it a gift that truly lasts.
- Safe Delivery: I ship all over India, from Gorakhpur to Kerala. Every portrait is rolled in a heavy-duty, moisture-proof tube or reinforced container so it reaches your hands in perfect condition.
The Commission Process
If you have a special moment you want to turn into a sketch, the process is straightforward. Send me a clear reference photo, and we can discuss the size—A4, A3, or A2—depending on how many faces are in the frame. For couples, I often blend multiple photos into one cohesive portrait, ensuring the connection between you is the highlight of the sketch. I share progress updates so you are part of the journey from the first outline to the final shade.
