Pencil Portrait Artist
Welcome to my website! I am a portrait artist specialising in both human and animal subjects. Each portrait is created using Faber-Castell graphite pencils, Caran D'Ache Luminance oil based colour pencils and Derwent Lightfast oil based colour pencils as well as high quality fine art paper. I am based in Stoke-On-Trent but I accept commissions from all over the UK and overseas as I work entirely from digital photographs my customers send me via email.
Human & Animal Portraits
I enjoy working in both graphite and colour pencils and do sometimes combine both mediums to create my drawings. My end goal is always to create the most realistic likeness of the subject as I can.
By working with colour and graphite I aim to give my customers the option to choose the best way to immortalise their special people and pets that suits them best.
I like to get to know my subjects personality a bit as well as this helps me to reflect the character of the subject in my drawing. I work primarily from one key photograph per subject but it is useful to see two or three pictures to get a feel for the subjects features and their general demeanour.
