FAQ

Questions people ask before ordering.

Prices, timelines, delivery and how a custom piece actually gets made. If your question is not here, WhatsApp Harish directly.

How much does a custom sketch or portrait cost?

Listed artwork on this site runs from ₹800 to ₹6,500. A pencil portrait typically starts around ₹1,800, hand-painted sneakers around ₹2,499, and wall murals around ₹5,000.

Custom pieces are quoted individually, because the price depends on size, how many subjects are in the frame, the medium and the level of detail. Send your idea on WhatsApp and Harish quotes it before any work starts.

How long does a custom artwork take?

It depends on the piece:

  • Live sketch and stall portrait sessions — same day to a few days
  • Pencil and charcoal portraits — roughly 5 to 12 days
  • Hand-painted shoes — about 5 to 12 days
  • Wall murals — 2 to 6 days once the site has been checked

The exact timeline is confirmed on WhatsApp before work begins.

How do I pay? Do you take online payment?

Cash on Delivery only. There is no online payment on this site. You place the order, Harish confirms the final price and delivery details on WhatsApp, and you pay when the artwork reaches you.

Do you deliver outside Noida?

Yes. Harish works from Noida Sector 18, Uttar Pradesh, and sends artwork across India.

Packing and delivery cost varies with artwork size and destination, so the delivery charge is confirmed directly on WhatsApp before the order is finalised. Wall murals are painted on site, so those are limited to areas Harish can travel to.

Can you draw a portrait from my photograph?

Yes — most custom portraits are made from a customer photograph. A clear, well-lit, reasonably high-resolution photo gives the best result. Blurry or very small images limit how much detail can be carried into the artwork.

You can upload reference images with the custom order form or send them on WhatsApp.

What surfaces does Harish Rawat work on?

  • Paper — pencil sketches, charcoal portraits, framed gifts
  • Canvas — painted pieces for decor and gifting
  • Walls — murals for rooms, schools, cafes and studios
  • Sneakers — hand-painted anime and character shoes in leather-safe acrylic

Do you paint anime characters on sneakers?

Yes — hand-painted anime sneakers are one of the main things Harish makes, using leather-safe acrylic paint.

You can pick from listed designs or send your own character, scene or theme for a custom pair. If a series is not listed on the site, it can still be painted to order.

How do I order a custom piece?

Use the custom order form, or message Harish on WhatsApp at +91 7683059647.

Share the subject or reference photo, the size you want and any deadline. Harish confirms price and timeline first — work starts only after you agree.

Can I cancel or return a custom artwork?

Custom artwork is made specifically for one customer, so cancellation and return should be settled before work begins — once a piece is under way it cannot be resold to anyone else. Raise any concern on WhatsApp as early as possible. Full terms are on the policies page.

Is my reference photograph kept private?

Yes. Customer reference photographs are used only to make the requested artwork, and are not shown publicly without permission.

Can I visit the studio in Noida?

Harish is based in Noida Sector 18, Uttar Pradesh. Message on WhatsApp to confirm availability before visiting, since he is often out on mural and stall work.

Still deciding?

Send the idea and get a price first.

There is no obligation. Harish quotes the piece, confirms the timeline, and only then starts work. Payment is Cash on Delivery.
