RACHAEL Pisarcik has drawn attention after becoming the Kardashians’ go-to artist.

She made what many called the first image of Kylie Jenner’s never-before-seen baby boy, Khloe Kardashian’s “favorite” phone case, and a WILD custom order for Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker.

Rachael owns Handmade Highlights, and her fashion silhouettes – or as she calls them, Babe Sketches, are now all the rage with the Kardashians.

“I started off drawing them almost as a help for myself with accuracy,” the full-time artist exclusively told The Sun on her online business based in Santa Barbara which now gets “orders every day.”

I “drew Khloe [Kardashian], posted it to Instagram and she liked it, and I don’t even think I had 10,000 followers yet.”

A year later, Khloe reposted the sketch again, and soon the entire family was re-sharing her work to Instagram and requesting ‘Kustom’ orders.

Khloe DMed Rachael to have her drawing of her and daughter True, 4, made into a phone case, now the reality star’s “favorite.”

“I reached out to Khloe when I started providing phone cases, the one product [aside from the two image files customers receive] I sell online. She said ‘absolutely’ and that has been her phone case of choice since.”

“She was very sweet and wonderful when I offered the phone cases to her – so responsive and kind.”

“If she takes a mirror selfie or at the gym, it’s always this one particular case.”

FRAME & FORTUNE

Once Khloe got her phone case, Rachael soon gifted Kris Jenner, 66, what’s now the centerpiece in the momager’s office on Hulu’s The Kardashians.

“I knew that would be perfect for her office,” Rachael said as her palette of pro-bono sketches to them expanded.

“So now whenever you see photos of her in her office, that’s the big picture in the background.”

Rachael first drew the full family for Kris in 2021, and then “took the initiative” to make an updated version.

The newest family memento offers a look at all of Kris’s children and her grandchildren.

Kris was drawn in the middle wearing one of her signature pantsuits, surrounded by Khloe, 37, Kylie Jenner, 24, Kim Kardashian, 41, Kendall Jenner, 26, Kourtney Kardashian, 43, and Rob Kardashian, 35.

All of the grown-up KarJanners were drawn alongside their kids, including Kylie with her daughter, four-year-old Stormi – also holding her baby son, whom like Stormi, she shares with 31-year-old Travis Scott.

‘HAVE YOU SEEN KYLIE’S BABY?’

“I have been asked if I have seen Kylie’s baby, I have not. This is what I think he could potentially look like.”

The second version, with Kylie’s son formerly known as Wolf began, “when Kris was on the Ellen Degeneres show she said the new baby looks just like Stormi.”

“I just went off went for a newborn cute baby boy that has features that resemble Stormi, for what he might potentially look like.”

Kylie’s newborn was drawn with his short baby hair, wearing a charcoal baby onesie – and the beauty mogul was drawn wearing a skin-tight grey maxi dress.

After the image was shared on RedditKardashian fanatics rushed to discuss what one user described as the “official first picture of the baby.”

Rachael added, “It was just so Kris to feel like no grandkid was excluded in the portrait she already has.”

“I intend to give her one once a year.”

“People were also like oh my god, why is Kanye [West] not in this sketch, not Travis [Barker or Scott] – this is her blood family, I drew it this way – And Rob [Kardashian] is in it! You cant leave out Rob.”

KOURTNEY & TRAVIS’ SKETCHY IDEA

“I even did this little rendition of Minnie and mickey for Travis and Kourtney,” Rachael continued on the thrice-newlyweds.

“You know how Kris gifted the kids golf carts, for Christmas I believe – they each got a different colored golf cart and Travis and Kourtney got a white one.”

“[They requested] Minnie and mickey on the custom cart for them, they’ve never used my artwork without 1000 percent permission, and Minnie and Mickey are on the headrest of the golf cart,” Rachael said on the interesting ask from the couple.

‘ONE DRAWING WAS SPECIALLY REQUESTED’

Nearly every drawing Rachael sends to the Kardashians, which they nearly always re-share to Instagram, virality ensuing – are her pitches, but not always.

“The one time they reached out was for the finale of KUWTK.

“I did a sketch of their very first home that Kendall [Jenner] put in the time capsule, and that was the last episode.”

She added on the “ask from production:” “It’s great to know my piece of art is in the Kardashian time capsule! I also did that for the exposure, I didn’t get paid for that.”

‘THE EXPOSURE IS ENOUGH’

“People ask, how much does Kris Jenner pay you? I don’t like to talk about that,” Rachael said on how the Kardashians haven’t paid her yet.

“I don’t want people to think it’s not a fair trade, I’ve never felt that way.”

“If it’s on a Kardashian Instagram, that gets me enough orders, and its well worth it. It wasn’t them demanding, it was more like ‘okay, this is again a once in a lifetime opportunity.'”

“They’ve paid it forward.”

“If they hired me for an event that’d be a different story. But I love how they’ve shared my sketches for the met gala, or Kim for SNL all of her Balenciaga looks – that’s something I enjoy and my followers and clients enjoy.”

“The exposure and love they’ve shown me has gone such a long way. That’s all I need. They’ve never come back and changed anything.”

“But if they were to request a custom drawing [aside from the KUWTK time capsule] that would be a fee.”

FEELING DRAWN IN?

“I now get orders every single day. I’m still fulfilling my orders.

“It’s the big fluffy eyelashes and the fashion sketch of it all. I want people to realize you don’t have to be a celebrity or a fashion icon to feel this type of way.  I do men and women, and it doesn’t have to be celebrity clients, it can be for absolutely anybody.”

Rachael’s personalized sketches start at $175 and increase per person she draws.

Every customer gets two hi-res images from the artist – or can order a phone case; the framed pieces are gifts for the famous family.

But clearly, they’ve paid off in a different sense – since her brush-based business is booming.
