Drawings from Photographs
Turn Your Favourite Photos into Stunning Drawings
Drawing began as a childhood hobby but has blossomed into a full-time passion. I specialise in transforming your favourite photos into beautiful pencil portraits. My name is Mike, and I love bringing your images to life by creating pencil portraits that capture the essence of your memories.
Photographs are fantastic for preserving moments, but drawings can take them further. A pencil drawing highlights every detail and emotion, turning your photo into a lifelike and emotive piece of art. The subtle nuances in expressions, the sparkle in the eyes, and the textures of hair and clothing are all meticulously rendered to create a portrait that truly captures the subject’s personality.
Add a Personal Touch
Pencil portraits offer a unique personal touch that makes them stand out. When you commission a drawing, you get more than a photo replica. You receive a piece of art crafted with care and attention, making it perfect for commemorating special moments or giving as a heartfelt gift.
Timeless Elegance
Hand-drawn portraits have a timeless elegance that photos often lack. A pencil drawing can evoke nostalgia and sophistication, becoming a cherished keepsake for generations. Whether it’s a family portrait, a beloved pet, or a special moment, a drawing transforms an ordinary photo into an extraordinary piece of art.
How It Works
Creating a drawing from a photo involves several careful steps:
- Choose Your Photo: Start with a high-quality photo that captures the subject’s personality. The more precise and detailed the photo, the better the final drawing.
- Initial Consultation: The photos you send to me are usually okay. However, on rare occasions, I will need you to find a clearer photo to ensure the final product meets your expectations.
- Sketching the Outline: I sketch the basic outlines, ensuring accurate proportions and composition.
- Adding Details: I will add details, focusing on capturing the unique features and expressions of the subject.
- Final Touches: Final refinements ensure the drawing accurately reflects the subject’s character.
- Review and Approval: I will email a preview to you for approval.
- Delivery: Once approved, the finished drawing is carefully packaged and delivered to you, ready to be displayed and admired.
