Portrait by Chrissy in Cape Town

I specialize in creating highly detailed, lifelike portraits that capture the unique essence and personality of each subject. Using a combination of graphite, black pencil, and white gel pen, I craft striking monochromatic pieces with a focus on contrast, texture, and depth. Each portrait is meticulously drawn on premium paper with a minimum weight of 300 gsm, ensuring durability and a professional finish. Whether A3 or A2 in size, I dedicate no less than 20 hours to each artwork, allowing me to refine every detail—from the subtle nuances of facial expressions to the intricate play of light and shadow. These timeless portraits make meaningful gifts or treasured keepsakes, celebrating the individuality and beauty of the subject in a style that is both classic and contemporary.
