Quality hand drawn pencil portraits of children, pets and other loved ones by artist Bill Beswick.

A pencil portrait is a special gift that will capture a moment in time unique to the person receiving it. The pencil portrait could be of your child, grandchild, parents, relatives and pets either individually or any combination of subjects.
The moment in time could be a special occasion, a birthday, wedding or family party or special memory of a past friend or relative.
Why not capture that moment and give someone that unique memory?

A pencil portrait will not only result in an accurate and quality portrait but will be an enhancement over the original photograph as pencil allows me to create a tremendous range of tones giving more depth to the portrait than the original photograph. In addition features that you do not like, for instance the favourite photo of your young son with a plastered cut on his head, the plaster and cut can be omitted. Your Mother who hated wearing her glasses but the only photo you have of her is with them on, these can be removed. Other features can be added, your favourite photo of your husband looks too informal, I can add a tie.
