Looking for a meaningful way to celebrate your loved ones or remember someone special? I create pencil portraits from photos, lovingly hand drawn using professional-grade ivory black pencils on high-quality drawing pad/paper.
View my drawings at Drawings of Animals, Drawings of People, and Drawings of Buildings. Whether it’s a cherished family member, a beloved pet, or a treasured moment, I’ll turn your photo into a beautiful piece of art you’ll be proud to display.
Why Choose a Pencil Portrait?
A pencil portrait is a unique and personal way to capture a memory. Unlike digital images, hand-drawn portraits have character, charm, and emotion. I use high-quality artist pencils on professional-grade paper to ensure every detail stands out.
Each drawing highlights the subject’s personality, making it a one-of-a-kind piece of art. My portraits make perfect gifts for birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, graduations, or just a treat for yourself.
Lifelike Pencil Portraits of People and Pets
I specialise in drawing realistic pencil portraits from photos. My goal is to bring out the emotion, expression, and character of each person or pet I draw. My pet portraits – especially dogs and cats – have become very popular, capturing their adorable features and unique personalities.
Personalised Service, Every Step of the Way
Every portrait is created just for you. Whether you want a solo portrait or one with multiple people or pets, I tailor each drawing to your preferences. You’ll receive a one-of-a-kind piece that holds deep personal meaning.
Drawn on a Clean White Background
All my pencil portraits are drawn on a white background. This keeps the focus on the subject and helps their features stand out beautifully. You can see examples of my work on the Drawings Page or explore my Dog Portraits page for more.
Commission a Pencil Portrait from Your Photo

The Photo Matters
To get the best result, a good quality photo is key. A clear image that shows the subject’s expression and detail helps me draw a more accurate and realistic portrait. I start by sketching the outline, then slowly build up layers of shading to bring the drawing to life.
