About this collection
When I sketch your child, it is not just about getting the features right. I spend hours on the eyes, as that is where the soul of the drawing lives. Whether it is a pencil sketch of those tiny baby hands or an acrylic painting of them laughing, I focus on the little details that make them who they are. If you have a specific photo in mind, let us chat about how we can make it happen.
Your Memories on Canvas
Every child has a story, and I love turning those fleeting moments into art that lasts a lifetime. Whether you want a monochromatic pencil sketch or a vibrant acrylic painting, I approach each piece with the same heart and attention to detail.
My Art Styles
- Classic Pencil Sketches: Perfect for that timeless, elegant look. I use professional Staedtler Mars Lumograph pencils on premium, acid-free, heavy-weight paper. These capture the softest features and expressions, focusing on light and shadow to bring out the depth in a child’s gaze.
- Vibrant Acrylic Paintings: If you want color and life, this is the way to go. I use gallery-wrapped cotton canvases and multiple layers of heavy-body acrylics to build texture. These pieces are sealed with a protective varnish, making them perfect for displaying in your nursery or living room.
The Creative Process
I believe art should be personal. You aren't limited by the original photo. If you want to add a floral background, include a favorite toy, or even place your little one in an RCB jersey, we can do it!
My process is collaborative:
- Consultation: We pick the best reference photos.
- Execution: I work on the details, from the sparkle in their eyes to the tiny curls.
- Updates: I share work-in-progress images so you are part of the journey.
Whether you are in Bengaluru, Shivamogga, or anywhere else in India, I make sure your artwork is packed with care and reaches you safely. Let us preserve these precious, innocent years before they grow up too fast.
