Charcoal portrait sample with eye, lip and nose details

We focus on realistic, hand-drawn charcoal portraiture, with every piece built up carefully in terms of shading, texture and fine detail using professional-grade materials rather than shortcuts. This small-format package gives you a direct, low-commitment way to see our artistic approach before placing an order for a larger piece. It is especially suited to close studies of expressive features such as eyes, lips and the finer lines of the face, rather than a full head-to-shoulders composition.

What this package is for

Our work centres on realistic charcoal drawing, built up entirely by hand with attention to shading, texture and the small details that make a portrait feel alive. This particular listing is a compact, entry-level piece, designed so you can judge the standard of the artwork before investing in something larger. It works well for anyone who wants a focused study of a single feature, such as an eye, a mouth, or a set of facial lines, rather than a complete portrait.

Format and how you receive it

Because this is a small piece, the finished drawing is not posted to you physically. Instead, it is delivered as a high-resolution digital scan at 300 DPI, saved as either a JPG or a PDF file. That resolution is enough to view comfortably on any screen, to share on social platforms, or to print at a modest size for personal use. You keep full control over how and where you use the file once it is handed over.

If you need something larger

This listing is deliberately limited in scope. If what you actually want is a complete portrait, a physical piece you can hang or display, or a larger format such as A5, A4, A3 or A2 with more detail and deeper, more layered shading, that falls outside this particular package. Those larger commissions are produced as physical artwork and shipped to you directly once finished, rather than supplied as a scan.

How the order is handled

Every piece starts with a short exchange rather than a blind order. Once you confirm the purchase, we will come back to you for a reference photograph and any specific notes on what you want the drawing to focus on, whether that is a particular expression, a certain angle, or a detail you want emphasised. The aim is to end up with a result that matches what you actually pictured, not a generic likeness.

What you need to provide

To keep things moving, please have the domain this order is linked to ready at checkout, along with a clear brief describing what you want from the piece. A good reference image and a short description of the mood or detail you care about most will help the drawing land closer to what you expect on the first pass.

Turnaround

The standard package is completed and delivered within 2 days of your reference photo and brief being received, at a fixed price of $25.99. That short timeframe makes it a practical way to try out a single detailed study, such as an eye or a mouth, without committing to a long wait or a larger budget.

Who this suits

This package suits buyers who want to test artistic quality and attention to detail before committing to a bigger commission, as well as anyone who specifically wants a small, detailed charcoal study of a facial feature rather than a full portrait. If your interest is in a complete, framed or printed piece, or in one of the larger A5, A4, A3 or A2 formats, that sits with our broader portrait offering rather than this introductory listing.

What happens after you buy

Your order opens its own thread here the moment it is paid, and everything about that order - questions, changes and the final report - happens in it.
