Shirish Ghatge
I create custom illustrations, capture live events with sketching, and host workshops. My work is a return to the honest process of handmade art, finding stories in the imperfections of a sketchbook.
Art Education & Speaking Engagements
Available across Mumbai
I run hands-on art workshops, set up doodle walls for all ages, give talks about working as an illustrator, and review student portfolios with real-world feedback.
Custom Illustration
Shipped across India
I create custom illustrations by starting with hand-drawn sketches and finishing with digital or traditional color, so you get artwork that feels personal and is ready for print or screen.
Live & On-Location Sketching

I come to your event or favorite place and make quick hand-drawn sketches of the scene and people as they happen, giving you real-time art instead of photos.

My Story
You know, as a kid, I’d just stare at those art students by the lake in Sanjay Gandhi National Park while my Nanna walked ahead. Never thought I’d be the one with a sketchbook there someday, but here I am, part of Urban Sketchers Mumbai, sitting at the same spot. Got to speak at Rachana Sansad too, my old college. Art’s always been about these moments, not just lines on paper, but memories, people, all mixed up.
My Work
Custom illustrations & live sketching - I do handmade custom illustrations, digital art, and live event sketching Mumbai style, capturing moments as they happen.
Sketchbook stories - Urban sketchbook art is my thing - trains, Chor Bazaar, random thoughts, all raw and honest, straight in the sketchbook.
Workshops for all - I run art workshops for adults and kids. It’s about sharing the process, not making things perfect.
Always handmade, always real - Traditional ink sketches, pencil, markers - I love the unpredictable mess, every mistake is just a new idea.
