Pencil Portraits








In this portrait, I combined two photographs together to create the montage above. This is a memorial portrait. Both men featured were KIA in WWII.






This portrait was completed as a Christmas present.





This portrait is a memory of my dad. He passed away from heart disease in 2006. I chose to leave out some of his messy hair wisps as this is how I remember him most. Although as he got older, he didn't have quite as much hair! I love and miss him every day.


This is also a memorial portrait. The sister of the lady you see here commissioned me to complete this portrait for the widowed husband as a Christmas present. She wanted something special to give to him as a rememberance of his wife who had passed away a few months earlier.
