About Celebrity Portraits: Stars on Paper

I don't just draw an outline. For a celebrity portrait to really pop, I focus on the eyes and the specific lighting from your reference photo. I will always share a high-res digital scan with you for approval before I apply the final fixative and pack it up, so you know exactly what you are getting.
