More about portrait illustration

Portraits are as old as art itself, but because every face is unique they are particularly hard to execute. You can always tell when a portrait is a bit off. This is why talented portrait illustrators are invaluable across the creative industries. From live events where guests can have their portraits created through to editorial pieces, meet-the-team company web pages and private commissions, our portrait illustrators capture their subjects accurately and artfully. Portraiture is a particularly powerful category of illustration because it brings with it eye contact – a primal connection that always draws the viewer into the picture.
