How I Became a Portrait Artist in Delhi
It started with pencils and paper — and grew into a lifelong pursuit of capturing human emotion through handmade art.
A Commitment to Pure Handmade Art
From day one, I chose to work without digital printing, tracing, or AI shortcuts. Every stroke is drawn by hand using professional-grade graphite and charcoal — it's slower, but the authenticity is worth it.
Rooted in Patel Nagar, Delhi
Growing up in Delhi shaped my artistic sensibility — the city's vibrant culture and diverse faces gave me endless subjects to study and draw during my formative years.
Mastering the Art of Photo Merging
One of the most rewarding challenges I learned was composing multiple separate photographs into a single cohesive hand-drawn portrait — a technique I've refined over hundreds of commissions.
Why I Insist on Archival Materials
Early in my career, I saw how poor-quality paper yellowed within months. That experience taught me to use only 200GSM acid-free paper and UV-resistant fixatives — so every portrait lasts for decades.
