COMMISSION A CUSTOM PORTRAIT DRAWING
Struggling to find a gift that truly means something? A custom pencil drawing can do what photos often can’t; bring presence to absence, closeness to distance. Whether it’s for a birthday, anniversary, wedding, or to honor someone no longer with us, a personalized portrait drawing is a thoughtful and lasting way to remember.
I create custom portraits from your photos that gently bring loved ones back into the frame, complete moments that feel unfinished, and preserve feelings that pictures alone may not express. Each piece is drawn with care, intention, and quiet respect; so the final work feels not only accurate, but deeply personal.
ABOUT ME
Hello !
I’m Aami Dinesh, a self-taught realistic portrait artist based in Kerala, India, with 8+ years of experience. What began as a quiet passion turned into something deeply personal—something that now lives on in the homes and hearts of people I’ve never even met. Over the years, I’ve had the honour of sketching memorable pencil portraits—birthdays, milestone moments, and custom memorial art capturing the faces of those no longer with us. I carefully add lost loved ones into hand-drawn family portraits, offering comfort through something as simple and powerful as a pencil. Every custom artwork I create carries a piece of someone’s story—crafted with detail, care, and emotion. And if you’re here, maybe it’s time to tell yours. Welcome!
CUSTOM PORTRAIT DRAWINGS
By a Self-Taught
Portrait Artist
I bring hand-drawn portraits to life with a soft touch and a deep connection to emotion. Each piece is personalized and crafted with care, made to be treasured—whether framed in a home or passed down through generations as a timeless keepsake. From delicate pencil sketches of grandparents to expressive drawings of partners, parents, or children, every portrait tells a story. These aren’t just drawings—they’re a way to hold onto the people you love and the memories that shaped your life.
Over time, my work has sparked smiles, tears, and heartfelt words from clients across the world. It’s more than art—it’s a part of your story. I’d be honored to help you tell it

Frequently Asked Questions
Photorealistic portraits are highly detailed pencil drawings that closely resemble real photographs. Every tiny feature from hair texture to light reflection is carefully captured by hand to achieve a lifelike finish. If you’re looking for a portrait that looks almost like a black-and-white photo, this is the ideal style.
Yes, absolutely! I specialize in composite portraits, where I bring together multiple people, often from different photos into a single, seamless artwork. Whether you want a family portrait with members from separate pictures, or a memorial piece that includes someone special, I’ll create a custom layout just for you.
You can also request a specific size based on your space or frame. Each piece is tailored to your vision from subject arrangement to background details making it truly one of a kind.
Before finalizing your portrait, I’ll share a detailed preview so you can request any minor adjustments. But honestly there’s very little chance you won’t love it. I take the time to update you at every key stage, from sketch to shading, and I pour my full effort into making it perfect.
My goal is to capture the heart and soul of your photo so well that you feel proud to frame it. In the rare case of a major revision after completion, a small fee may apply but most of my clients fall in love with their portrait at first glance.
