This personal project was created to capture the essence and depth of individuals through the art of hand-sketching portraits. It's a way to celebrate the unique beauty and character of each person, translating their stories, their culture and history onto paper evoking emotions between the subject and the viewer.

Graphite pencils of various grades (ranging from 2H to 6B) for different levels of hardness and darkness in the lines to play along highlights and adding tones and details.

Acid free, heavy weight, durable, medium surface drawing paper is a natural white paper ideal for drawing and allowing to bring out details such as wrinkles, fabric draping and texture as well as shades and shadows.
