I WILL SKETCH YOUR CHILD’S PORTRAIT
A HAND DRAWN PORTRAIT OF YOUR CHILD
A special and personal keepsake, or a perfect gift for grand parents, friends and family.
I can draw a child’s portrait from a good clear photo or I can take the photo myself . The paper is of the highest quality for pencil drawings and the size of the paper would be 35cm x28cm.
Have a beautiful piece of art of your child, niece, nephew or grand child to keep for years to come. Examples of some of my drawings are below

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
