Why My Portraits Are Worth Every Dollar

Each portrait I create is not just a drawing — it's a deep, soulful process. I pour my full attention, energy, and emotion into every detail, because I believe your loved ones — human or animal — deserve to be seen with dignity, care, and heart.

Drawing an A3-sized portrait isn’t something I rush through. It’s an intensive, handcrafted piece of art.

For example, my recent Staffordshire Bull Terrier portrait took me over 21 hours to complete, using only high-quality Faber-Castell Polychromos pencils. Every layer, every stroke, every fur line was lovingly built up over time — not just to capture appearance, but to bring out soul and spirit.

I work with:

• Professional materials (lightfast pencils on archival paper)

• Highly detailed realism

• Custom reference prep & planning

• And most of all — my heart, focus, and energy

This is why my regular price of $360 USD reflects:

• Many hours of deep, focused work

• Professional skill built over years

• A unique, emotional artwork that will last a lifetime

• Material Costs

When you commission a portrait from me, you’re not just buying “a drawing” — you’re receiving a piece of art that honours the soul of your beloved, created with respect and love.

Thank you for valuing slow, soulful, meaningful art.
