Artistic pencil drawings of cherished loved ones by portraiture artist, Helen T. Palacio. Portraits are drawn from photograph with graphite on quality acid-free bristol board.
Preferred guidelines for selecting a photograph:
Choose a good size and clear photo. Look for details on the face. The face of the subject on the photo should be at least 2 inches high. Make sure that the whites of the eyes are visible. Hair should not blend into the background. There should be definition between the two. If the subject is wearing glasses, make sure the glare is minimal.
