Beautiful custom hand-drawn COLOR PENCIL portraits of your most precious moments and loved ones!  This one-of-a-kind artwork is a thoughtful gift for yourself, or the special people in your life.

 

• I'm happy to draw custom backgrounds, or additional details, at an additional cost.  Custom sizes are also available.  Please message me for more details!

 

Please note: I draw HUMAN subjects only using professional high-quality art paper.  I will work from the photos that you send me to draw.  I do not draw subjects below the shoulders.
 

 

WHAT YOU WILL RECEIVE

 

You will receive a hand-drawn physical 14"x17" / 17"x14" color pencil/color pastel portrait (original or print copy), on a white background, of ONE human subject.  Depending upon the picture of the subject, this custom portrait can be created in either the portrait (vertical) or landscape (horizontal) orientation. The artist will ultimately decide.

 

(The original portrait will be hand-drawn using 14"x17" / 17"x14" high-quality art paper ONLY.  Also, the original portrait will contain a one-inch white border surrounding the entire portrait.)
