GRAPHITE PENCIL COMMISSIONS
A Graphite pencil portrait drawing takes up to 30 hours over a course of 7 days, working from photos I specialise in photorealism, hand-drawing life-like images of the subject onto large archival paper 300gsm. I use a wide variety of professional graphite & charcoal pencils with my favourite being a beautiful set imported from Japan. *** Make someone feel special with a beautiful, traditional pencil portrait from Birthdays, to Retirements and all occasions in-between. |

HOW I WORK
Art studio in London, UK. I set up my art table with the professional pencils from Japan that I'll use. I proceed with playing a selected set of classical music to play in the background. My mobile phone is always switched off to minimise distraction and once the initial sketch is completed this will be your first proof. Any changes at that stage are welcomed if required. Let's Draw! |

PHOTO TO PORTRAIT
The uploaded photo should be high quality that clearly shows the face, especially the eyes. The clearer the photo the better the results, however, if the photo is too blurry to work from I'll ask you to provide more or opt-in for a photo restoration service £7.00 and will enhance the photo using my photo restoration skills.
