Preetam Bendre

Karnataka's art kid - Born and raised in Karnataka, I've been drawing since childhood, always fascinated by faces and expressions.

Why I create - Making art lets me tell stories through portraits. Each face has a unique tale worth capturing.

Time is my friend - I spend up to 90 hours on each piece because perfection takes patience and dedication.

Culture connects me - Movies, sports, and music inspire my work. I love bringing regional cinema characters to life.

What I do? - I create realistic portraits using graphite and charcoal, specializing in sports figures, musicians, and film personalities.

How am I different? - I focus on photographic realism, making each portrait look alive through detailed pencil work.

My process matters - I use premium materials like Staedtler pencils and ultra-smooth Brustro paper for the finest details.

Working together - I take time to understand your vision, offering personalized portrait commissions that capture unique stories.
