I am a  professional pencil portrait artist with many years experience working from clients photos and live sittings. 

Using special matt black artist pencils ( not school graphite pencils ) these  artist hand drawn portraits are

crafted to give a beautiful image on a white heavy textured art paper that helps gives each drawing a unique appearance. The black artist pencils produce drawings with rich velvety darks through to whitest highlights you do not get with "ordinary" graphite pencil portraits.  You can also visit my dog portraits page.
