Portrait Gallery

Welcome to my portrait gallery, where I show off mainly my pencil portraits.

My style
I prefer spontaneous portaits, with the concentration on light and I like ruff papersurfaces. A part of my life I worked as a portraitpainter for a company in Sweden, doing very strict and boring portraits. This experience has left me wishing for a free style, which I enjoy. Portraits should catch the spirit, not just the look.

Portrait drawing from photography.
Inspiration can come from photos, and I can draw portraits from them. I do some portrait-photography myself, but if you want inspiration and an idea of what is possible to do have a look at this site with a great photography portrait gallery.

The drawings
Below you can se some examples. Soon I will post new pages with a portrait and story on each, describing the process.
