Again, I have seen similar to Akshar Ganesh; people could draw God Vittal (well, even I tried once), Goddess from Navratri, and many more. I am not sure what the name of this art is, but I would call it pictionary.

Well, that’s it for today. I thought it was quite a unique topic to write about, so I did it 🙋‍♀️.
