Capturing Your Memories in Timeless Hand Drawn Portraits
I specialise in drawing portraits from your favourite photos. Whether it’s a beloved pet or a cherished family member, I aim to capture the essence of your memories with every stroke of my pencil. My drawings bring out the personality and character of the subject, resulting in stunning and lifelike representations that you’ll treasure forever.
Why Choose a Pencil Portrait?
Pencil portraits offer a unique and timeless way to preserve your favourite memories. Unlike digital photos, which can sometimes feel impersonal, a hand-drawn pencil portrait adds a touch of artistry and emotion to the image. Each pencil portrait brings out the personality and character of the subject, resulting in a piece of art that truly reflects the essence of the original photograph.
Pencil portraits are not only beautiful but also versatile. They make perfect gifts for any occasion, whether for a birthday, anniversary, or holiday. You can use them to commemorate special moments, such as weddings, graduations, or the arrival of a new family member. With a pencil portrait, you can turn a simple photograph into a cherished keepsake that generations will view.
The Art of Pencil Drawings
Creating a pencil portrait is a meticulous process that requires attention to detail and a deep understanding of the subject. I take great care to ensure that each drawing is a stunning and lifelike representation of the original photograph. My commitment to excellence means that every subtle aspect of your photo is captured precisely, from the twinkle in an eye to the texture of fur or hair. This dedication to detail ensures that the finished product enhances the beauty of the original image and brings it to life in a new and exciting way.
Personalised Service
Every portrait I create is to meet your specific needs and preferences. Whether you want a pencil portrait of a single subject or a group, I work closely with you to ensure that the final product meets your expectations. My goal is to create a piece of art that looks beautiful and holds deep personal significance for you.
The Creation Process
- Choose Your Photo: Select a clear, high-quality photograph that you want transformed into a pencil portrait. The better the quality of the photos, the more detailed and accurate the pencil portraits will be.
- Contact Me: Contact me to discuss your requirements. You can provide details about the subject, specific requests, and preferred style.
- Creation Process: Once I have all the necessary information, I will begin the creation process. I will carefully sketch the outline and gradually add details to capture the subject’s personality and character.
- Review and Finalise: I will share a preview before completing the portrait to ensure you are happy with the result. I will make adjustments to ensure your complete satisfaction at this stage.
- Delivery: Once finalised, I will insert the pencil portrait in a hard-backed envelope marked ‘fragile’. Once you unpack the pencil portrait, you can display and admire it.
Showcasing My Work
In addition to my website, you can view more of my hand-drawn portraits on my Instagram page. You’ll find a diverse collection of pencil portraits featuring people, pets, and animals. Each piece showcases my dedication to capturing the subject’s true essence, whether it’s a playful dog, a serene cat, or a beloved family member.
Hand-Drawn Portraits on a White Background
My drawings are hand-drawn on a white background, allowing the subject’s likeness and mood to shine. This approach ensures that the focus remains on the subject, highlighting their unique features and expressions. My pencil portraits of dogs and cats have become particularly popular, capturing the endearing qualities of these beloved pets. You can view some of my drawings on my website’s drawings page or explore my dog pencil portraits page for more examples.

Connecting with Clients
One of the most rewarding aspects of my work is the opportunity to connect with clients and learn about the stories behind their photos. Every photograph has a unique memory, and I feel honoured to preserve those memories through my art. Whether it’s a portrait of a beloved pet who has passed away, a family portrait to commemorate a special occasion or a gift for a loved one, I approach each project with the utmost care and dedication.
The Importance of a Quality Photo
The process of creating a pencil portrait begins with selecting the right photograph. A clear, high-quality photo that captures the subject’s personality and expression is essential for achieving the best results. Once the image is selected, I start by sketching the basic outlines and gradually build up the details, focusing on the eyes, facial features, and textures. Each stroke of the pencil adds depth and dimension, bringing the portrait to life.
Capturing the Eyes and Textures
The eyes are windows to the soul, and I pay special attention to capturing their unique sparkle and expression. Whether it’s the playful gleam in a dog’s eyes or the gentle gaze of a cat, the eyes are crucial in conveying the subject’s character and emotions. Similarly, fur, skin and clothing textures are drawn to create a realistic and tactile representation.
