### My story

Hi, I’m Sagar Viradiya. Art is my world, really. Been making pencil portraits for 6+ years now, and done over 500 commissions - Surat se lekar Indonesia tak (from Surat to Indonesia). Started with lots of confusion myself, toh socha let’s make it easier for others. That’s why I started sagar_art_studio - for anyone wanting to learn or just enjoy art. I love seeing students grow, and I’m always up for a chat about portraits or classes.

### My work

- **Custom Portraits & Art Classes**: I create custom hyper-realistic portrait sketch and teach you how to draw with online or offline classes.
- **Realistic Portrait Sketches**: Give me any photo - solo, couple, family, pets - I’ll make detailed graphite and charcoal artwork, any size, worldwide.
- **Art Workshops (Online & Offline)**: Confused where to start? My 2-month online art workshop Hindi covers basics to advanced, step-by-step, live in Surat or online.
- **Favourite Subjects**: Love drawing celebs, spiritual figures, but mostly everyday faces - custom family portrait drawing is my favourite thing to do.
