Portrait Gallery

Possibly the Perfect Place for People to Properly Peruse Pickle’s Portrait Pictures.

(Predominantly Pencil, perhaps.)

Sometimes, I get the chance to show a serious side. I love working in pencil, so many of my portraits reflect that.

I do, however, love working in many forms of portraiture, sketching, digital, fine drawing, photography etc ad infinitum.

Look closely though, what may appear to be a photograph, could be a digital sketch, and b/w Photos could be detailed pencil portraits.

A very large pencil portrait of a friend's best friend. He is a Chelsea fan, so Lampard was a great dog, as well as a good footballer. I didn't have much equipment or resources, so I regret the use of thin cartridge paper, of course, I'd do it on board nowadays.
