The artist & vision
The hands behind the artwork
Hi, I'm Jarvis, a self-taught graphite artist from Mumbai, India, and the artist behind Drawings by Jarvis.
I create by hand, one careful stroke at a time. Meaningful art should never be rushed.

The story
A passion that became a calling
I've loved drawing for as long as I can remember. As a child, I spent hours sketching whatever caught my imagination. During lockdown, that love grew into a deeper commitment as I dedicated myself to improving my craft.
I attended art classes briefly as a child, but learned what I know through years of practice, experimentation, and perseverance. After exploring different mediums, I found my home in graphite. There is something timeless about creating depth, emotion, and life using nothing more than shades of black and white.
The story
The patience behind each piece
Every artwork is drawn completely by hand. Some pieces take weeks to complete, while others take months. Each stroke is intentional, shaped by patience, discipline, and attention to detail.
“Every artwork begins with patience, grows through perseverance, and is completed with purpose.”
The story
More than drawing
A few years after finishing school, I came to a life-changing realization: every talent I have is a gift from God. My ability to create is something I have been entrusted with. That changed the purpose behind my art.
Today, every drawing I create is ultimately for His glory. I hope each work points beyond itself, encouraging people to remember God, trust Him through every season, and reflect on His love, sacrifice, and faithfulness.
“My art is simply my way of giving that gift back to Him.”
The foundation of my work
Guided by faith
These verses continue to guide both my life and my work.
01“Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.”
1 Peter 4:10
02“So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.”
1 Corinthians 10:31
03“We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us.”
Romans 12:6
These verses remind me why I create, who gave me this gift, and who every drawing is ultimately for.
Thank you for being here
May every artwork point not to the artist, but to the Creator.
Whether you're here to commission a portrait, collect a fine art print, or simply enjoy the work, I hope these drawings encourage you to pause, reflect, and remember the One who gave us every good gift.
