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
