Photo-realistic portraits

Hand-drawn, bespoke portraits bringing to life a photo or memory. Works of art capturing a moment in time.

Welcome

to my People and Pet Portrait website. I produce customised photo-realistic drawings capturing the essence and unique qualities of each subject. Having obtained a 1st Class Honours Degree in Fine Art, I have been working in pencil, charcoal, colour pencil, white pencil on black and pastel for several years, completing commissions for clients both in the UK and abroad. I use good quality photographs to create these portraits and you can see examples of my work by visiting my gallery. You can also see some testimonials from clients below.

I work with top quality products such as Derwent, Daler Rowney and Faber-Castell. Any works in charcoal are secured with artist quality fixative.

About the Artist

I aim to focus on traditional drawing skills highlighting individual details and the character of my sitter, blending this with a contemporary edge. I am based in Sussex and accept commissions from anywhere in the UK and abroad. I work with high-quality photos, create a mock-up using the desired media and style, which is then agreed with the client. I then proceed to create the final artwork for approval. I work with each client and aim for 100% customer satisfaction. A step-by-step guide to commissioning can be found by clicking here.
