About Fine Art & Figurative Studies
My process for these figurative studies relies on a direct approach, mapping out features before building the shading. I always share a work-in-progress image, and with one minor revision included, we can adjust the expression or composition to match exactly what you envisioned before I finalize the drawing.
I approach every figurative study not just as a drawing exercise, but as a way to capture a person’s story. Whether it is a charcoal sketch of a dancer or an intricate pencil portrait, the focus remains on the eyes and posture to convey authentic emotion. For my portrait commissions in Bangalore, I use acid-free 140 to 200 GSM paper to ensure the artwork lasts. The charcoal work, in particular, requires a specific sealing process with fixative sprays, which I handle myself to prevent smudging.
If you are looking for custom art, I work closely with you during the drafting phase. We start with your reference photos, and I translate the key details onto the canvas. While I have a set style for these figurative studies, I am always open to adapting the technique—be it realistic, raw, or minimalist—to suit the space where the art will live. My work ships across India, and I ensure every piece is packed in reinforced envelopes or tubes to keep it safe in transit.
