Show your love with a hand drawn portrait

Although the majority of my commissions come from portraits of children and portraits of pets, I do undertake a lot of pencil drawings of adults. Often these commissions, are pencil portraits of grown up siblings commissioned as a present for parents or grand-parents. A hand drawn pencil portrait makes a wonderful gift for your partner, a relative or a friend.

If you are interested in having a hand drawn portrait commissioned then I would be delighted to chat with you.

Hand drawn portraits of adults

Framed pencil portrait of woman drawn on grey paper hanging on wall, next to round mirror and vase with green leaves.

Portraits of adults can often benefit from a paper colour other than white; perhaps a pencil portrait on a tan colour paper or a light grey?

What works best with a particular portrait drawing depends on the subject, the photo and where you want to display the drawing.

If your home is minimalist with lots of white walls then a more traditional portrait drawing on white paper in a thin black frame might work best? If you have decorated your living room with dark tones and perhaps a lot of greens or browns then a portrait on a coloured paper with a more traditional style frame might be best?

Whatever you decide, a one off hand drawn portrait, of those who matter most in our lives, is a wonderful way to decorate your home. A way to bring more love into your home; with beautiful art that really matters to you.
