Welcome to the About Page for MCB Pencil Portraits
At MCB Pencil Portraits, I take pride in creating timeless, hand-drawn pencil portraits that capture every subject’s unique beauty and essence. I draw each portrait with precision and attention to detail. I aim to turn your photographs into extraordinary works of art you will treasure forever.
What I Do
I specialise in drawing highly detailed pencil portraits from your photographs. Each picture is a labour of love, with every stroke of the pencil thoughtfully placed to bring out the subject’s finest details and authentic character. Whether you’re looking to capture the likeness of a loved one or preserve a special moment with a pet, I’m here to help you create a stunning keepsake.
All my portraits are unframed as standard, allowing you to choose how you wish to display them. However, I also offer a framing service if you’d prefer to save yourself the hassle. You can select a frame from my frames page, and I’ll take care of the rest – inserting your portrait into the frame and ensuring it’s safely wrapped with sturdy cardboard for protection during delivery.
Why Choose MCB Pencil Portraits?
Choosing MCB Pencil Portraits means choosing a personal and professional service dedicated to bringing your memories to life. Mike Bruce, the artist behind the portraits, is a self-taught artist with a deep passion for drawing people, pets, and other subjects from photos. Mike’s approach is unique—he carefully studies each photograph to capture every intricate detail, turning an ordinary photo into a truly extraordinary piece of art.
Customers often tell me how thrilled they are with my portraits, praising the level of detail and the lifelike quality of the drawings. I built a solid reputation for providing exceptional service, and my many positive Google reviews reflect this. My customers appreciate the care, dedication, and craftsmanship that go into every portrait.
The Perfect Gift with a Personal Touch
A pencil portrait makes a truly personal and thoughtful gift. If you’re considering purchasing one, I can help you choose the perfect frame to complement the drawing. All my portraits are sprayed with a protective gloss varnish, ensuring your artwork lasts a lifetime.
Lead Time
My lead time depends on the size and subject of the portrait, as well as my current workload. Generally, it takes one to eight weeks to complete a pencil portrait, with Christmas being the busiest time of the year. If you want a unique holiday gift, I recommend placing your order two to three months.
