portraits
I have always found portraiture a wonderful challenge. To produce something that displays the proportioned features of a human face is one thing, but to have it also convey a reasonable facsimile of someone’s distinctive likeness through accurately rendered features is something quite different.
My graphite portraits are detailed and take hours to complete, while my ink portraits are quick sketches that aim to capture the spirit of subject. Among the traditional portraits below are some that exclude the face or offer a fictitious depiction of the subject.
