My Art Journal & Personal Sketches
Art is therapy to me. This is a peek into my sketchbook, my creative process, and the raw work that happens behind the scenes before I create something for you.
For me, art is therapy. This is just a little glimpse into my world and my creative process.
A little video about my double life as a design student by day and an artist by night. I always choose to paint.
Unboxing some new art essentials. Getting new supplies is always one of the best feelings for an artist.
A quick painting of a beach scene on a mini canvas. I love how the paint on my hand shows the work behind the art.
A painting of a sunset over the ocean with a silhouetted palm tree. I really enjoyed blending the orange and purple tones in the sky and water.
A detailed charcoal sketch of a beach house. This was a challenging piece but I'm so happy with how the shading and textures turned out.
A vibrant blue butterfly I drew using colored pencils. I focused on the blending and texture of the wings.
A watercolor painting of a slice of watermelon, done in my sketchbook by candlelight.
A simple and sweet painting of a heart-shaped island in the middle of the ocean.
My sketchbook by the sea at night, with a painting inspired by the view of the Mumbai skyline.
About My Art Journal & Sketches
These aren't just finished products; this is my creative therapy. When I’m not working on commissions, you’ll find me here, experimenting with charcoal textures or testing new color palettes in my sketchbook. If you are looking to hire me for a custom piece, looking through these sketches helps you understand my style and the raw, unpolished energy I bring to every project I take on.
Every piece of art I create for you has its roots in these pages. My process usually starts here—messy, imperfect, and honest. Whether I am testing how watercolours react to different paper types, sketching a quick beach view for practice, or working through a charcoal portrait, this is where my technique gets refined.
Why my process matters to you
When you commission a faceless portrait or a custom resin piece, you aren't just getting a product. You are getting the benefit of hours spent on these sketches and studies. I use my personal art time to:
- Test materials: I constantly play with new paint brands, resins, and drawing mediums so I know exactly how they behave before using them on your memories.
- Refine my style: By practicing things like calligraphy, floral doodles, and landscape sketches, I keep my hand steady and my design sense sharp.
- Find inspiration: You might see a style in these sketches—like the minimalist faceless figures or the botanical line work—that you want me to recreate for your own home or as a gift.
I am based in India and everything here is made-to-order. If you see a vibe in my sketchbook that resonates with you, tell me about it. We can take that sketch and turn it into a custom canvas, a scroll, or a permanent resin keepsake.
