Custom Portraits & Caricatures
From fun, exaggerated digital caricatures to realistic charcoal sketches, I create hand-drawn art that captures the exact vibe you are looking for.
A finished charcoal portrait of a young boy, capturing a moment of innocence. This style is perfect for creating a deeply personal and artistic keepsake of a loved one.
This video demonstrates my pencil sketching technique from start to finish. Watch as I use careful strokes and shading to bring the child's portrait to life on paper.
A commissioned portrait of Shri. Madhukar Parekh, the owner of Pidilite Industries. This shows my process for creating a formal yet expressive ink sketch for a corporate client.
Here is the process for another custom couple caricature. I start with a simple line drawing and build up the features to create a fun and recognizable portrait for my clients.
This video shows the creation of a third caricature, this time for a couple in a more formal setting. It's a great example of how caricatures can be adapted for different events and styles.
A quick look at a commissioned caricature of a gentleman with a beard. I focus on exaggerating key features in a playful way while still maintaining a strong likeness.
About Personalized Portraits & Caricatures
I start every piece on my iPad using Procreate to make sure we nail the look before any ink touches paper. If you go with a digital portrait, you get high-resolution files in just 3 to 5 days. For canvas work, I treat the digital design as our blueprint, then hand-paint it using professional oils or acrylics once you give the green light.
Whether you want a fun caricature for a birthday gift or a serious charcoal portrait, the goal is always the same: capturing the person's vibe. My process is transparent. For digital caricatures, I work on an iPad Pro, focusing on expressions and that perfect level of exaggeration without losing the likeness. You get 2 rounds of adjustments, so we get it right.
If you want something physical, my 'iPad to Canvas' process is my favorite. We finalize the digital concept first so you know exactly what you’re getting, then I move to the easel. I use archival oils and cotton canvas for pieces that last. I have done everything from corporate gifting for Pidilite to intimate portraits for families. If you have a specific mood or a historical theme in mind—like the spiritual figures I love painting—let's chat about it. I handle the printing for digital pieces or ship the canvas ready-to-hang anywhere in India.
