Acharya Shri Tirthbhadrasuri - Graphite

​

A graphite portrait measuring 21 cm × 30 cm, completed over 470 hours of focused work. Every square centimetre is packed with intricate detail—each often requiring more than five hours to render. The aged textures of the forehead, cheeks, and neck are captured with precision, from the fine pores on the skin to the deep creases beneath his calm, contemplative eyes. His serene expression and subtle smile anchor the portrait, while every strand of his beard and moustache is drawn with deliberate, patient accuracy. This artwork stands as a testament to discipline, devotion, and the pursuit of meticulous realism.
