This is a pencil drawing made from a photo I took of my daughter. The artist (Terry Bullard) did an excellent job capturing the different skintones, shadows, and details. If you are interested in having a pencil drawing done of your favorite photo, she would be more than happy to discuss it with you. Her rates are quite reasonable in my opinion.
