Capturing the likeness of people, fictional characters and pets is always a fun and welcome challenge. Each face has something very distinctive about it, something which makes that person look like themselves, and give them character. The aim of all of my portraits is always to try to capture the subject, regardless of the style I am using.
Painting portraits has always been a challenge I’ve enjoyed taking on, and it doesn’t really matter who the subject is, be it’s a portrait for an editorial illustration, the loved one of a customer, or self initiated portraits of celebrities and fictional characters. The challenge remains the same: to capture the likeness of the subject, which usually means using one or multiple reference images.
If you like what you see here, and want a portrait of a loved one, yourself, or maybe for an article, please feel free drop me a line!
