Portrait Drawing

Portrait Drawings

Portrait drawings have been a mainstay in the art world for hundred of years, from kings and queens commissioning the royal artist to do family portraits, through to the more contemporary artists like paul cadden adding his unique twist on contemporary pencil portraits, creating hyper-realism as an abstraction of reality.

Whichever styles of portrait drawings are of the moment, each of them will add to the rich and varied selection of

portraits that make up the global portfolio of portrait drawings around today.

Types of Portrait Drawings

There are many different types of portrait drawings, I have selected a few below to cover in a little more detail, that for me cover the 4 fundamental types and more popular portrait drawings subjects.

Portrait Drawings of Children

Going back in history, pencil portraits of children have been represented on various levels, from the simple analytical studies done by some of the greatest artists ever like Leonardo Da Vinci, to some of the most famous art pieces in the world like little boy blue by Gainsborough.

Portrait drawings of children are an extremely popular subject type in the world of drawing today. Quite often the most popular subject type for parents who want to have their favourite photo of their little cherub immortalised in graphite to adorn the walls of their home.

Children portrait drawings quite often capture the true nature of children, their innocence, purity and cheeky personality. These traits are probably what make portrait drawings of children so popular and one of the more favoured commission requests in the world of art today.

Portrait Drawings of Couples

A perfectly captured pencil drawing of a couple can be a beautiful thing, evoking such warmth and romanticism. The key to this type of pencil drawing is the subject pose. A pose of the couple holding each other, looking into each others eyes or simply holding hands can all add to the overall atmosphere of the drawing, adding subliminal elements that make the piece very personal to the couple.

That said a lot of couple prefer to have a drawing that brings back memories of fun and joy, maybe a moment when you were laughing or joking around, both smiling happily, can make for an infectious picture that brings a smile to the face of people viewing it.

Portrait Drawings of Dogs

Dog pencil portraits are one of the most popular types of pencil drawings commissioned nowadays. The UK are well known for being a nation of dog lovers, and to be fair we are generally lovers of all animals big and small.

Dog pencil portraits can make for a fabulous piece of art, from a traditional pose to a leaping action shot, there’s a multitude of different poses to make for the perfect dog pencil portrait. When you are a dog owner, your adored hound is a solid member of the family, playing an active part in everyday family life, so just like people would traditionally choose to have a family portrait, they are now even more keen to choose a picture of their well loved pet to adorn the walls of their home in the perfect pencil portrait drawing.

Portrait Drawings of Cats

The favoured feline, cats are a hugely popular choice of pets across the UK and the world. With over seventy different breeds registered with The International Cat Association, there’s every colour, shape and size of cat breeds now living in domestic environments around the globe.

Pencil portraits of cats have a very specific style and look to them when done well. The natural flow of their fur, and the natural sheen highlighted with delicate pencil tones and strokes can enhance the appearance of the cat portrait, giving it a photo-realistic finish. There is no one-size fits all for the perfect pose to make for ideal drawing reference. This can be a very personal choice and what shows of the cats best features, that said a 3/4 sitting pose is quite often the best choice as this shows the head perfectly and a great angle to show the full body of the cat, highlighting any markings or fluffy fur.

Capturing the cat in a pose that will be suitable for a portrait drawing can be the tricky part. In trying to capture a good photo of a cat, its best to be as natural as possible, just click away without being too formal as cats can often get spooked and just decide to leave the room.

I've always found it fascinating that in That Unwanted Animal, Madeleine sings "can't you hear that scratching/I ask your eyes?" I also love how digital art means I can make new art and scribble writing all over something without losing the original art.

I was absolutely stunned when I created this portrait of a bird when I began drawing. My artwork I feel is just catching up.

Do you have any beginner art where you feel you got really lucky?

Yam is a feisty yet elegant lady who wanted her own portrait. I did my best to capture her likeness in this 8x10 colored pencil drawing.
