in vine charcoal
Hand-drawn from your photograph, each 8×10 artwork is created with charcoal on fine art paper and completed in approximately 3–4 weeks.

Seeking to create drawings of children in natural or outdoor settings and parent-child scenes. Drawings from this series depict full figures, focusing on capturing the moment of the scene rather than emphasizing highly detailed faces or portraits. While smiling faces are lovely, candid shots are preferred.

About the Drawings
Full-figure charcoal drawings that focus on movement, atmosphere, and emotion rather than detailed facial features. Candid moments tend to create my favorite results, though smiling photos are always welcome.
Looking for a detailed, shoulders-up portrait? Those are available separately [here].
