Three women in coats by Matthew Broughton in Melbourne

Matt: Bespoke Pencil Drawings & Fine Art Commissions Capturing Homes, Histories, and Life’s Milestones With over 25 years of experience as a Melbourne-based freelance illustrator and graphic artist, I specialise in creating heirloom-quality pencil drawings that preserve the things that matter most: your home, your family history, and your most cherished memories. Art with a Hand-Drawn Soul My practice is rooted in traditional craft—honed through decades of professional work and a foundation in linocut printmaking. When you commission a piece, you aren't just getting a drawing; you are getting a carefully considered work of art designed to last for generations. What I Can Capture for You: - Architectural Portraits: Detailed pencil drawings of your family home, first house, or a place of deep personal significance. - Milestones & Memories: Commemorating weddings, anniversaries, or significant life events through figurative storytelling. - Family History: Bringing old stories or heritage locations to life, bridging the gap between your analogue roots and the present day. - Portraits & Personal Projects: Whether it’s a gift for a loved one or a legacy piece for yourself, I work closely with you to ensure the "visual thread" of your story is captured perfectly. The Collaborative Process Commissioning art is a personal journey. I take a collaborative approach, working with your photos, stories, and requirements to find the artistic essence that makes them click. I am just as happy working from a grainy old photograph as from a modern brief, guiding you from the initial rough sketch through to a final original drawing, linocut, or artwork. Melbourne Studio.
