Our Portrait Creation Process

A meticulous journey from initial consultation to the final reveal of your cherished portrait.

01

Consultation & Reference

We begin with a detailed consultation to understand your vision, the subject's personality, and the emotion you want to capture. High-resolution reference photos are carefully selected to ensure the best possible likeness.

02

Composition & Sketch

Our artist creates multiple composition sketches, focusing on pose, lighting, and framing. Once approved, a detailed underdrawing establishes proportions, values, and the overall composition on archival paper.

03

Value Study & Rendering

The portrait takes shape through careful value mapping and progressive rendering. Each layer of graphite or charcoal builds depth, texture, and dimension, capturing the subject's unique character.
