Illustrations of people

Figure drawing of people and portraits with style

Sometimes all you really need is a drawing of a figure that looks... well, simply like a person

I love drawing and sketching the figure, whether it be a real person, imaginary, or even an historical character.

From a simple charcoal pencil sketch of the face, to a more detailed coloured watercolour painting of the figure, I try my best to master them all.

Drawings of people in period

I often like to draw in the style of a particular period. For example a Victorian, or Edwardian sketch, to more stylised 1930s, World War 2 era, pop-art and modern figures.

Period style drawing for an historic era

For the BBC drama 'Death Comes to Pemberly' I was asked to draw in the late 18th Century style.

Modern style of figure drawing

Then of course, right up to modern day and the slick graphic style which the advertising industry loves. Fashion drawings to icon figures for the web sites.

Perfecting the figure drawing

Retouching on the computer in Photoshop if necessary, to perfect the colouring, tone or add texture to the drawing.
