Handmade portrait pricing guide by Deepak Art

Standard Sketch Price & Sizes

The most common question we get is, "What is the pencil sketch price in India?" Below is a detailed breakdown of our handmade sketch price based on standard paper dimensions. All our portraits are meticulously drawn on premium acid-free Bristol paper for longevity.

1. A4 Size (21 × 29.7 cm)

The A4 size is perfect for intimate gifts, desk frames, and single-face portraits. It captures standard facial details beautifully.

  • 1 Face (Single Portrait): ₹1,600
  • 2 Faces (Couple Portrait): ₹2,600
  • Best for: Personal gifts, solo portraits, budget-friendly options.

2. A3 Size (29.7 × 42 cm)

This is our most popular size. Twice the size of A4, the A3 sketch price in India offers the best value. It is ideal for wall-hanging portraits and capturing intricate details like jewelry and clothing textures.

  • 1 Face (Single Portrait): ₹2,800
  • 2 Faces (Couple Portrait): ₹4,000
  • 3 Faces (Small Family): ₹5,200
  • Best for: Wedding gifts, anniversary gifts, living room display.

3. A2 Size (42 × 59.4 cm)

A massive, gallery-style canvas. A2 is twice the size of A3 and is used for statement pieces, large families, and premium corporate gifts.

  • Custom Quote Required (Usually starts from ₹7,000 depending on complexity).
  • Best for: Family heirlooms, reception displays, highly detailed scenes.

Charcoal Portrait Cost vs. Pencil Sketch

We offer both Graphite Pencil and Charcoal mediums. The charcoal portrait price generally costs ₹400 to ₹800 more than pencil sketches depending on the size. This is because charcoal requires specialized fixing sprays, meticulous blending techniques, and takes longer to stabilize compared to graphite. The high-contrast, dramatic look of a charcoal portrait, however, is well worth the slight increase in cost.

Watercolor Portrait Painting Price

If you prefer colors, our watercolor portrait price starts at ₹2,400 for an A4 single face. Watercolors bring vibrancy and emotional depth to your photos, making them perfect for memorial portraits and vibrant festive gifts.

What is Included in the Price?
