Prajwal Shetty

I am Prajwal Shetty, a self-taught wildlife artist from India and the artist behind PrajWild. I specialize in realistic charcoal drawings of wildlife, focusing on the character, anatomy, expression, and natural presence of animals.

My artistic practice has developed through independent study, observation, continuous drawing, and experimentation with charcoal. I pay particular attention to anatomy, proportions, tonal values, light and shadow, and carefully observed fur textures to create detailed and lifelike wildlife portraits.

Wildlife has always been a strong source of inspiration for my work. Through charcoal, I aim to capture not only the physical appearance of an animal but also its individuality and presence.

My work is created traditionally by hand on quality drawing paper, with each original artwork individually drawn and signed by me. Through PrajWild, I am building a collection of original wildlife artworks and digital prints for collectors who share an appreciation for wildlife and realistic art.

I am continually developing my technique and creating new work inspired by the diversity and beauty of the natural world.
