Getting a portrait made isn't just about the photo, it's about freezing a moment. Whether it's for yourself or a meaningful gift, I draw each solo portrait by hand, focusing on the details that make you, you.

About Solo Portraits: Capturing Individuals

When you send me a photo, I don't just trace it. I look at the expression in the eyes, the way your hair falls, and even the texture of the fabric you are wearing. For solo pieces, I recommend clear, high-resolution photos for the best results, as the more detail I can see in your reference, the more life I can bring into the sketch on paper.
