Custom drawings from photos 

Drawing pencil portraits from photos using black art Conte pencil on textured paper will result in a detailed finish with a textured appearance.

Pastel hand drawn portraits from photos UK
Pastel portraits from photos have a velvet finish and are excellent for getting good blending for  shadows and highlights on skin , hair and fur etc.


Great attention is paid to getting a good realistic likeness to the photo and bringing out the personality and character of the subject.
