About Featured

I start every piece using the grid method to ensure facial proportions are accurate. I work primarily with professional-grade graphite and charcoal on heavy 200–300 GSM acid-free paper, layering and blending the shades with makeup brushes and stumps for a smooth, realistic finish that captures the details in your photos.
