Pastel portrait of a black cat

This was a very black cat. Layers of pastel with undertones of purple were used to achieve the rich, dark fur colour.

 

Pencil portrait of two children

This photo was a bit blured, but it was the customer's favourite. Choosing a photo with the best facial expression is important to get a good likeness.

 

Wedding portrait

Dark suits can present a problem with wedding portraits. A vignette is one way of overcoming this.
