What is a Pencil Sketch portrait?

A Pencil Sketch portrait is rendered in graphite pencil on textured cream sketch paper with a monochrome graphite from deep darks to paper-white highlights palette. The mood is intimate, hand-drawn, quietly personal — best for minimalist cards and framed bedside prints. Every portrait starts from your photo and ships as a card or print from our US partner. You see and approve the portrait before choosing a product.
