Custom Digital Caricatures and Portraits
I turn your favorite photos into custom digital art and caricatures, perfect for gifts or a unique profile picture. Each piece is hand-drawn on my iPad, capturing the personality in every smile.

About Digital Caricatures & Portraits
When you commission a digital piece, you receive more than just a high-resolution file. I include a 15-30 second timelapse video showing exactly how your artwork was built, from the initial rough sketch to the final color details on my iPad. It is a fun way to see the process behind your finished portrait.
Whether you want a quirky wedding gift or a tribute to your pet, digital art offers endless flexibility. I use the Procreate app and an Apple Pencil to hand-draw every line, so you get a truly custom illustration rather than a filtered photo. You can tell me exactly what you want in the scene, like that specific beach backdrop, a funny hobby, or having your furry friends included. I can also handle group caricatures, which work great for family gifts. Once the artwork is ready, I send it over as a high-resolution 300 DPI file, which is perfect for printing on canvas, mugs, or t-shirts. My goal is to make art that feels personal, real, and just a little bit fun. Digital art is also a great option if you need something quickly, as it avoids the shipping time of physical paintings.

I am Varun, an engineer by degree and an artist by heart. I spend my days blending code with canvas, and I love capturing the expressions behind a photograph. Every caricature I draw is a chance to make someone smile, and that is honestly the biggest reward for me.
