Custom Charcoal & Pencil Sketches
Sometimes a simple black and white sketch captures the soul of a moment better than anything else. I love the raw emotion of charcoal on paper, as it is timeless, honest, and completely yours.

About Charcoal & Pencil Sketches
I use heavy 180 GSM grain paper to ensure your portraits do not just look good today, but stay crisp for years. Every sketch gets a professional fixative spray, so your memories will not smudge or fade.
Whether you are looking to preserve an old, faded family photograph or want a modern, realistic portrait, charcoal offers a depth that other mediums often miss. My process starts with a conversation about the vibe you want, and from there, I work on bringing the subject to life on high-quality paper.
I specialize in restoring details from those blurry, precious physical prints you might have stashed away. Even if the original photo is not perfect, I can reconstruct the features and shading to create a clear, beautiful piece. You can choose between A4 or A3 sizes depending on where you plan to display the art. The standard turnaround time for these pieces is 4 to 7 days, as I take time to layer the charcoal and graphite to get the shading just right. Since these are monochrome, they look stunning in minimalist home decor or as a classic, thoughtful gift for someone special.
