Hand Drawn Custom Portraits
I do traditional hand drawn portraits using graphite pencils. They have a classic look and feel while still conveying emotion and character. I’d be honoured to draw your loved one. Tell be about the portrait you’re looking for.
The Process
I will work from a photo that you provide. From experience it’s imperative that the best photos are taken in natural light, are up close and in focus, and in high resolution. Often the details that make your loved one them are subtle and tiny and need to be seen in the photo. I will work with you to find a suitable image I can work from. Once that is set I can get to work.
I work on first come first served basis.
I will let you know when I start your portrait and once I begin, delivery takes about a month. I will send a photo of the final piece before shipping to ensure you are satisfied.
I ask for a 20% deposit on the work before I begin, but you may cancel anytime before I put pencil to paper.

“A portrait affirms; it gives the gift of self to its subject. It says, ‘Yes, you are worth spending this time over, your story deserves to be told, you should be recorded for you will not pass this way again.’”
-David Goatley
