About Hand-Drawn Realistic Portraits
Why I Draw
Art for me is all about catching the little things - the wrinkles, the shine in your eyes, that tiny dimple. Main hamesha focus karta hoon (I always focus) on making each pencil sketch portrait look so real, sometimes folks ask if the drawing will get up and walk.
What I Make
I can turn your favorite photo into a custom realistic drawing. You can ask for:
- Single portraits - your face, with every detail
- Couple or group portraits - perfect for those family moments or best friend vibes
- Pet portraits - yes, even your dog’s fluffy ears or your cat’s grumpy look
- Fan art - movie stars, cricketers, or your fav characters
My Process
People always ask, "Sir, kaise banate ho?" (How do you make it?) Simple answer? Bohot patience chahiye (You need a lot of patience). I use pro materials - graphite and charcoal for bold black-and-white, colored pencils when you want those rich tones. Heavy, acid-free paper keeps your hyperrealistic art safe for years.
I start with your photo, use grid or freehand, then do endless layering and blending. Sometimes, I spend 20+ hours on a single detailed face illustration just to get it right.
What You Get
Your art is packed carefully, ready for anywhere in the world. Each piece is my honest, painstaking work, showing every tiny detail you care about.
