Pencil Drawing Portraits Biography
I have loved drawing for as long as I can remember and am inspired when capturing the essence of my subjects through pencil sketches. After numerous successful portrait commissions with fantastic feedback, I have decided to launch The Illustration Room, to showcase my drawing style and custom portrait commissions to date.

Artist Biography

I attended the University of Central England and gained a BA(Hons) in Visual Communications. This has enabled me to work within a variety of commercial Art & Design fields. I currently work as a Graphic Designer and I have attended weekly life-drawing classes for many years now, mainly for the constant development of my drawing skills. This is supported by a Certificate in Portraiture from the London College of Art.My Individual Pencil Portrait Style.Pencil Portrait DetailHand Portrait Close UpPencil Portrait Close Up

I have a very painterly style and do not use pencil in the way you would expect. Drawing with graphite shavings and a putty rubber, the portrait subject is moulded with my fingertips. This creates very three-dimensional features that appear to lift from the page. Although pencil lines can be seen in finer details of my drawings, the majority of the mark making is sculpted in this way. I create mood, character and true realism, moving away from the sketchy style other artists are able to produce relatively quickly. An average head shot can take me up to 10 hours to complete.
Viewing these pieces online does not do these graphite portraits justice. Rest assured if you like the images on the site – you would love the original artwork.
