About My Hand Drawn Portraits & Paintings Services.

"I searched the Internet for an artist to sketch my friend's daughter and my granddaughter and found Robert's site. His previous work looked amazing, and I decided to go with him. I wasn't disappointed! The sketch he did is incredible, perfectly capturing the girls in graphite pencil with 100% likeness. Robert handled any adjustments professionally and promptly, and gave me regular updates. An absolute pro, I highly recommend him for the best in artistry." — Jeff Jones
