Final scan of Grandmother portrait in graphite pencil

Posted on

The Grandmother portrait is now finished. I have scanned it and I will add it to the gallery page very soon. It was hard work with all the detail especially of the skin and hair. I enjoyed every minute of it, wrinkles are so intricate and interesting. It changed the way I’m looking at age….

Grandmother – in progress

Posted on

I have been away for a while and didn’t get a chance to carry on with this one. I’m back though, rested and ready to start working. I worked on the hair today, which is very tedious. I prefer to draw in all the detail rather than rub back afterwards so it takes a little longer….

Grandmother Portrait in Progress

This is a new family portrait I’ve been working on last week. I have spent 12 hours on this portrait of a grandmother so far. It is a part of a new range of family portraits in pencil. I feel graphite pencil can really capture the highlights in the skin and wrinkles too. I love…

Pet Portraits in Progress – Portrait of Judy

Posted on

I started working on a portrait of Judy today, a portrait commission from Ireland. It is a birthday present for her owner. She is a beautiful dog. I love her classic pose. I drew her out in paint and added some indication of the background. It is a photograph, so the image seems very dark….

Finished Portrait – ‘Moment’

Posted on

Just finished this one today. I was working on this portrait for the last few days. The work is based on the photograph from www.scx.hu by BWK. I loved the photo of this girl, she looks so present in the moment. And so I had to call the drawing ‘Moment’. I think it’s very appropriate….
