Have a portrait drawn

Each pencil portrait is a unique creative journey. Here's a glimpse into the personal 8-step process:

Step 1: Inspiration and Vision
Our journey begins with an inspiring conversation where your vision and ideas are central. I want to understand the essence of your portrait.

Step 2: Pricing

Commissioning a drawn portrait is a special and lasting choice, imbued with carefully spent time and artistic experience. The price of your personal portrait depends on various factors, including the size of the paper, the number of people depicted, the possible addition of a specific concept, and the refinement of the background details. You are cordially invited to contact me for a free, tailor-made advice.


Step 3: Quality Materials
I carefully choose the highest quality materials and premium paper, to ensure that your artwork is as durable and timeless as possible.

Step 4: Photography or Session
We work together to select the best high quality photos for reference or if you prefer we can schedule a personal session to capture a new photo. The most important requirement is that I can zoom in completely and still see clear details.

Step 5: Sketching, Composition & Concept
After possibly having established a concept with approval, I start drawing the portrait to accurately capture the composition and proportions.

Step 6: Color and Texture
Then I add color if necessary or I use watercolor or acrylic paint to accentuate details.

Step 7: Refinement and Details
Details such as the eyes, skin tones and facial expressions are given special attention for a lifelike result.

 
Step 9: Handover and Satisfaction
After completion I will hand you the artwork. This can be sent or picked up personally. You will be kept informed of the process and the result. I am only satisfied when the right recognition and emotion is released in you.

For me, drawing a portrait is a passionate process in which I combine craftsmanship and creativity to capture your emotions and memories in a unique and lasting way.
