Custom Digital Art Commissions & Hand-Drawn Portraits
I transform your ideas into high-resolution digital files using my iPad Pro. Whether it is a portrait, a pet, or a mythological figure, I create hand-drawn art that captures the details you care about—no AI, just manual illustration.
Here you can see the full-length view and a close up of the commissioned Krishna digital painting. I work closely with clients to ensure every detail, from the posture to the accessories, matches their vision.

This was my first attempt at a realistic digital portrait. It took a lot of trial and error, especially with the hair, but it was a great learning experience in digital painting techniques.
Here’s a step by step look at my digital painting process for this glitter eye makeup look. I start with a basic outline, add solid colors, and then build up the details and textures.

About this collection
When you commission a piece, we start with your reference photos, and I build up the layers on Procreate, sharing updates as I go. This back-and-forth lets us adjust details like lighting, colors, or facial features before the piece is finished. You receive a final 300 DPI high-resolution file that feels exactly like what you imagined, ready for printing or sharing on social media.
How We Bring Your Ideas to Life
I focus on creating digital art that carries a human touch. I don't use AI generators. Every stroke is made manually using an Apple Pencil and Procreate. When you reach out for a commission, we talk through the concept, the mood you want to set, and the specific details you want highlighted.
What I Can Create
- Portraits: From realistic depictions to graphic-style illustrations, I can capture friends, family, or pets.
- Illustrations: I frequently paint food, detailed textures, and mythological subjects like Krishna, paying attention to elements like jewelry or fabric patterns.
- Personalized Graphics: If you need specific art for social media, personal printing, or just a digital keepsake, I can handle the technical work.
The Process
- Consultation: We discuss your reference photos and the style you prefer (Flat Illustration vs. Realistic Painting).
- Creation: I work on the piece over 3 to 5 days, keeping you in the loop.
- Refinement: I include up to 2 rounds of minor revisions to ensure the final result fits your vision.
- Delivery: You get a high-resolution JPEG/PNG/PDF file. I do not provide the source Procreate file, but the output is print-ready.
Note: These commissions are for personal use only.
The Messy Hand
I’m Naina, and I treat my iPad like a physical canvas. I’m not after machine-perfect images; I want to capture real emotions in every stroke, whether I’m painting a portrait or a pet. If you have a memory you want to turn into art, let's talk about it.
