About My Artwork Collection

When you order a portrait, I do not just copy a photo. I build the shading layer by layer, focusing on the eyes and hair texture, which is where the realism actually happens. If you have a clear, high-resolution photo, send it over, as it makes a huge difference in the final drawing.
