How alisketchez Collaborated With Pakistan's Biggest Celebrities — And Changed the Art Scene Forever 🎨
When Art Meets Fame — Something Extraordinary Happens
Pakistan has always had extraordinary talent. In its drama industry. Its music scene. Its digital creator community. Its sports arenas. Its fashion world.
But for decades, one conversation was missing from Pakistan's mainstream cultural landscape.
The conversation about art.
Not digital content. Not printed posters. Not AI-generated images. But real, handmade art — the kind that takes hours of skill, passion, and human touch to produce. The kind that cannot be replicated by any machine, any filter, or any shortcut.
alisketchez started that conversation in 2016. And over nearly a decade, it has grown into something nobody could have predicted — a movement that has brought Pakistan's biggest celebrities, most followed influencers, most celebrated musicians, and most beloved actors face to face with the power of genuine handmade oil painting.
This is the story of how alisketchez collaborated with Pakistan's most famous faces — and in doing so, permanently changed the way Pakistan thinks about art.
The alisketchez Philosophy — Handmade, Always
Before we talk about the collaborations — we need to talk about what makes alisketchez different from everything else available in Pakistan today.
In a world overflowing with printed merchandise, digital renders, and AI-generated portraits — alisketchez refuses to take a single shortcut.
Every single piece created at alisketchez is 100% handmade. Every portrait is painted by hand using premium oil painting techniques on high-quality canvas. Every brushstroke is deliberate. Every colour choice is intentional. Every hour spent on a piece is an hour of genuine human skill and passion.
This is not a print shop. This is not a digital studio. This is a traditional art practice — one that honours the ancient craft of portrait painting while bringing it fully into the world of modern Pakistani culture.
And it is precisely this commitment to genuine handmade oil painting that has attracted Pakistan's biggest names to alisketchez. Because when you receive a handmade oil portrait of yourself — you know immediately that it is something no machine could have created. Something no app could have generated. Something that required a human being to sit down, pick up a brush, and pour genuine skill and care into your likeness.
That is what alisketchez offers. And Pakistan's biggest celebrities have noticed.
The Collaboration Journey — From One Canvas to a Cultural Movement
🎭 Chapter One — Actors & The Drama Industry
Pakistani drama is one of the most celebrated television industries in Asia. Its actors are known not just across Pakistan but across the entire South Asian world — and alisketchez has painted some of its most iconic faces.
Imran Ashraf — perhaps the most significant collaboration in alisketchez's history. One of Pakistan's greatest actors — known worldwide for his landmark role as Bhola in Ranjha Ranjha Kardi — Imran Ashraf's handmade oil portrait became the painting that introduced alisketchez to the entire nation.
When that portrait was featured live on Mazaaq Raat — Pakistan's most beloved and long-running entertainment show — seen by millions of Pakistani viewers on national television — it marked a turning point. Not just for alisketchez. But for the entire conversation about Pakistani handmade art in mainstream media.
A handmade oil painting. On national television. Celebrated by an actor the entire country loves.
That moment changed everything.
Hania Amir — one of Pakistan's most beloved and widely followed actresses — brought a different kind of challenge to the canvas. Her warmth, her expressiveness, her instantly recognisable charm — capturing all of that in oil paint required not just technical skill but genuine emotional intelligence. The finished portrait captured something beyond physical likeness. It captured the feeling of Hania Amir — the quality that makes millions of Pakistanis love her.
Fahad Mustafa — actor, host, and producer — one of Pakistan's most powerful and recognisable entertainers. The face of Jeeto Pakistan. The star of countless blockbusters. Painting Fahad Mustafa meant painting a man who carries enormous weight in Pakistani entertainment — and the handmade oil portrait delivered exactly the gravitas his presence demands.
Kinza Hashmi — actress and model — known for her striking on-screen presence and her deeply expressive performances. Her handmade portrait required capturing not just beauty but the quiet depth that makes her so compelling as an actress.
Ali Raza — Pakistani actor and public figure — known for his strong screen presence and his genuine connection with Pakistani audiences. Another face that demanded and received the full alisketchez treatment.
📱 Chapter Two — Digital Creators & The TikTok Generation
Pakistan's digital creator economy is one of the most vibrant and rapidly growing in Asia. TikTokers, YouTubers, Instagram influencers — they have built audiences that rival and sometimes surpass traditional media. And alisketchez has painted some of the biggest names in this space.
Ducky Bhai — Saad ur Rehman — Pakistan's most iconic YouTuber. A cultural institution in his own right. Funny, sharp, authentic, and completely one of a kind. When Ducky Bhai's handmade oil portrait was created by alisketchez — it brought together two of Pakistan's most distinctive creative forces. The result was a portrait that captured the sharp intelligence and genuine warmth behind one of Pakistan's most recognisable digital personalities.
Ducky Behn — The beloved sister of Ducky Bhai and a major digital personality in her own right — her comment on our viral post said it all: "@alisketchez guys cutie ka sketch inho ny bnaya hy 😍❤️" — organic, genuine, excited. The best kind of endorsement any artist can receive.
Kanwal Aftab — one of Pakistan's most followed TikTok and Instagram creators with over 4 million Instagram followers — known for her vibrant lifestyle content and her beautiful family moments with husband Zulqarnain Sikander. Her handmade portrait captures the warmth and genuine personality that has built her enormous following.
Zulqarnain Sikander — TikTok star and one half of Pakistan's most beloved digital couple. His handmade oil portrait captures the energy, humour, and authenticity that has made him one of Pakistan's most followed content creators.
Hira Faisal — beloved Pakistani TikTok personality and one of Pakistan's most followed digital creators. Her portrait captures the authentic, relatable quality that has made her a favourite across Pakistani social media.
Rabia Faisal — enormously popular Pakistani TikTok star with millions of devoted followers. A handmade portrait that honours her place as one of Pakistan's most loved digital voices.
Wania Nadeem — Pakistani content creator known for her elegant aesthetic and highly engaged social media presence. Her oil portrait required capturing effortless style alongside genuine personality.
Aniqa Zulfiqar — Pakistani influencer and content creator with a strong personal brand across platforms — known for her fashion sensibility and her dedicated following.
Laiba Khuram — Pakistani content creator known for her engaging videos and her warm, growing community across TikTok and Instagram.
Minahil Malik — one of Pakistan's most talked-about TikTok personalities with a massive following and a presence that consistently generates conversation across Pakistani social media.
Kainaat Faisal — Pakistani digital creator and lifestyle influencer — known for her strong, loyal following and her consistently engaging content.
Samar Jafri — Pakistani content creator bringing a unique voice and aesthetic to Pakistan's vibrant digital landscape.
Ainaa Asif — rising Pakistani content creator whose reaction to her alisketchez portrait said everything: "Oh...my...I am speechless. Wow. Just wow. The talent is INSANE!! Ma Shaa Allah, thank you for this ❤️" — 9,448 people liked that comment. Because every word was true.
Sana Yousaf — Pakistani influencer known for her relatable content and the warm, genuine personality that has built her a devoted following.
Hamna Ayub — Pakistani digital creator known for fashion and lifestyle content — her five fire emojis on our viral post said more than words could.
Reham Rafique — Pakistani content creator known for her unique personality and her dedicated following across platforms.
Moiz Nawaz — Pakistani content creator and influencer known for his engaging personality and his rapidly growing digital presence.
Nehaal Naseem — Pakistani entertainer and content creator — known for her infectious, joyful energy that makes every piece of content feel genuinely alive.
🎵 Chapter Three — Musicians & The Sound of Pakistan
Music and art have always been natural partners. And when alisketchez entered the world of Pakistani and international music — the results were some of the most powerful and widely seen collaborations in the studio's history.
Talha Anjum — one of Pakistan's most celebrated rappers and a founding member of Young Stunners — whose music has defined an entire generation of Pakistani hip-hop culture. His handmade oil portrait captures the intensity, the passion, and the raw creative energy that makes his music so powerful. His reaction — fire emojis — 3,788 likes — said everything.
Talwiinder — one of the most distinctive and soulful voices in contemporary Punjabi and independent music internationally — known for deeply emotional, beautifully crafted songs with a passionate global following. His reaction to the alisketchez oil painting — three fire emojis, 3,788 likes — from an artist who understands emotional depth better than most.
Karan Aujla — this is where alisketchez crossed borders entirely.
Karan Aujla is not just a Pakistani or Indian celebrity. He is a global phenomenon — a Canadian-Punjabi rapper and songwriter whose music has topped international charts, whose concerts sell out across North America, the UK, and Australia, and whose fanbase spans every continent on earth.
When Karan Aujla commented "Wow bro" on our handmade oil painting — with 12,254 people liking that single comment — and our post reached 21,257,512 views — alisketchez did not just go viral.
alisketchez went international.
🌟 Chapter Four — The Wider Circle of Collaboration
Beyond the major names — alisketchez has built relationships with a wide circle of Pakistani public figures whose association has deepened the studio's credibility and reach.
Aroob Jatoi — beloved Pakistani content creator and wife of Ducky Bhai — a personality full of warmth, humour, and genuine relatability whose portrait captures exactly what makes her so universally loved.
Saheefa Jabbar Khattak — one of Pakistan's most unapologetically authentic public figures — model, actress, voice. Her handmade oil portrait was the first in the alisketchez celebrity series — and it set the tone for everything that followed.
Zulqarnain Sikander — TikTok star and one half of Pakistan's most beloved digital couple alongside Kanwal Aftab.
Sonam Bajwa — one of the biggest stars in Punjabi cinema — an actress whose films have broken box office records across India, Pakistan, and the international Punjabi diaspora. Her comment on our viral post — "Thank you this is amazing 🙏" — came with 1,054 likes and the genuine warmth of a superstar who took the time to say thank you.
Why These Collaborations Matter — For Art, For Pakistan, For Culture
These collaborations are not just impressive names on a list. They represent something far more significant.
🎨 Art Enters the Mainstream Conversation
For too long, fine art and handmade painting existed on the fringes of Pakistani mainstream culture — appreciated by a niche audience but largely absent from the conversations happening across entertainment, social media, and popular culture.
alisketchez changed that. By painting the faces that Pakistan already loves — and by creating work so extraordinary that those faces felt compelled to react publicly — alisketchez brought handmade oil painting directly into the centre of Pakistani mainstream culture.
Art is no longer a niche interest in Pakistan. Thanks in part to alisketchez — art is a conversation that the whole country is having.
🤝 Bridging Entertainment and Craft
Pakistani entertainment — drama, music, digital content — is globally celebrated. But entertainment and traditional art rarely intersected in Pakistan's modern cultural landscape.
alisketchez built that bridge.
When an actor like Imran Ashraf is painted in oil and that painting appears on national television — entertainment and handmade art share a stage. When a musician like Karan Aujla reacts to a handmade portrait with 21 million people watching — music culture and traditional craft collide in the most beautiful way.
alisketchez is the bridge between Pakistan's entertainment world and its artistic heritage.
🇵🇰 Celebrating Pakistani Faces With Pakistani Hands
Every celebrity painted by alisketchez is painted by Pakistani artists. Using Pakistani craft traditions. In a Pakistani studio. With Pakistani pride.
There is something deeply powerful about that. Pakistani celebrities — people whose faces are known across the world — being immortalised in handmade oil paint by a Pakistani artist who learned their craft here, who built their studio here, who has served over 5,000 Pakistani clients here.
This is Pakistani art celebrating Pakistani culture. And it is exactly what the world needs to see more of.
The Numbers That Tell the Story

Every painting is handmade.

That is what Karan Aujla saw. That is what Imran Ashraf held up on national television. That is what 21 million people watched and felt.
