The Graphite Pencil Portrait

The Graphite Pencil Portrait - Classical, yet Modern

The Graphite Pencil Portrait goes beyond timeless; from before the colored photograph, the black and white pictures were and are still popular. Now you can have your favorite photograph hand drawn as a pencil portrait. The pencil portrait is shaded to capture features, expressions, personalities and light.

I am a pencil artist who lives in Littleton Colorado. I specialize in pencil portraits of people and pets, drawn by hand using graphite pencils and charcoal. I draw pencil portraits from reference photographs of the people and pets you love.

A pencil portrait is more than a sketch but a piece of art that you will proudly hang on your wall. Pencil portraits are the perfect wedding, shower, graduation, anniversary, Christmas and birthday gifts. Pencil portraits are more than a gift for one occasion because they become heirlooms that last throughout the years. They make wonderful personalized gifts to friends or loved ones. Why not present someone you love with a timeless graphite pencil portrait as a unique gift for your next gift giving occasion. Or start a family tradition of pencil portraits to preserve your ancestry through the generations.

My hope is that I will have the opportunity to bless you with a graphite pencil portrait of someone you love.

God Bless,
Linda Bissett


What's Up Lately

My current pencil portrait commission is a memorial of beloved parents who recently passed. I was hired by thier son to create this portrait from an old photograph from the 70's.

My hope is that this pencil portrait will be a blessing to the family. And that the family will enjoy this portrait of their parents as more than just a pencil sketch but as a family heirloom for generations to come.
