Although I use photographs as references for my drawings, I find that a lot of my work tends to be improvised. This is because I work very loosely with the photograph once I have the correct proportions, creating a unique style of drawing. Even though my portraits may look realistic from a distance, close-up you would be able to see that I have used a series of dots and line marks which react to each other in order to create a vibrant texture.  

I usually begin a portrait by studying the photograph first, familiarising myself with the subject before I start drawing. I start from the eyes and make my way outwards making sure I capture as much detail as I can. There are also other techniques, such as the 'Grid method', that I use to help get the correct proportions.
