About the Pencil Portrait Artist - MCB pencil Portraits

I am a Pencil Portrait Artist. I studied Art at Art College but I have a natural talent for pencil portrait drawings and most of the time I am self-taught. I developed this talent in the medium of graphite pencils.

I value the art of pencil portrait drawing and try to capture the likeness and even the mood of my subject. I have a wide range of pencils to achieve realistic pencil portraits from your photos.

I am based in Birmingham, England, UK and have always been interested in pencil portraits since I was a child and found that I preferred to draw the human face more than any other subject matter. To be able to give joy to someone from my pencil portraits is something to be proud of.

Vision

My aim is to create photo realistic pencil portraits of people and pets to be treasured for many years.

In one word - AWESOME... I sent Mike a photo of what I wanted sketching. It was short notice and i needed it for a wedding present. Mike was very busy, but somehow managed to complete it, and get it to me in time...it was absolutely spot on, we could not fault it. Mike's sketch was put on display at the reception. So many people were overwhelmed and thought it was amazing - definitely the talking point.... Thanks again Mike, will recommend to others without hesitation. Anyone looking for a portrait - Mike's the man !!

The service provided was also great as the image was complete and sent to me on the day I expected it. No delays, great service and an amazing image, what more could you ask for!

Mike produced a great sketch of my boyfriend playing football from a photograph. He was easy to commission and I received the portrait on time. Very good service and highly recommend.

Ordered a pencil portrait of my parents wedding photo for my Mother on, what would have been, their Golden Wedding anniversary. Mike produced the portrait in less than two weeks to an excellent quality and my Mother was delighted with the gift. Thanks Mike

I contacted Mike regarding some pictures I wanted drawing, they turned out to be more complicated than first though. It took Mike several months to complete all the set but the wait was worth it, I am so grateful to the work Mike put in, they will hang on my wall and I shall gain many hours of pleasure looking at them, a first rate artist who I would definatly recomend, you will not be disappointed with the work produced. Thank you once again Mike. John

I have had two pencil drawings done from Mike - one of my dog and one of my Nan's cottage. He has really captured the likeness of my dog and he has even included the glint in his eye. Since having the portrait done, he has sadly passed away but it is a beautiful reminder of him! The detail in the cottage is absolutely breathtaking. There was quite a lot of garden scenery but he has managed to capture every single bit of detail, which I imagine was very difficult. For the hours and effort that Mike must put into the drawings, the price is very reasonable! I would highly recommend MCB portraits to anyone and will definitely be using Mike again in the future.
