CHARMING SKETCHES

FROM PHOTOGRAPHS

Do you want to preserve your life’s treasures and cherished moments in graphite but are limited by a budget and time frame? If so, then Sketches in Graphite is the perfect option for you!

 

This service offers charming pencil portraits drawn in a sketched style at affordable prices that take a fraction of the time to create compared with photorealistic portraits. These sketches are drawn with layers of delicate pencil marks and graphite powder, using the natural brightness of the paper to create a truly elegant sketch. Even though there is less detail in these portraits, they are equivalent in capturing true likeness and character.
