Personal Portrait Converted into Pencil Sketch Style
A portrait illustration created from a personal photograph and transformed into a soft pencil-sketch visual style.
The goal was to preserve the emotional feeling of the original image while giving it a hand-drawn, nostalgic and artistic look. I focused on facial expression, line detail, gentle shading and the overall warmth of the moment.
This type of work can be used for personal gifts, family portraits, memory illustrations, social media visuals and creative keepsakes.

New book cover artwork for my fiction project Bailalua! - Set against the shimmering, neon-lit horizon of a Brazilian dawn, Bailalua is a transcendent illustrated manuscript that bridges the gap between the physical world and a mystical dimension. The narrative follows Lightfeather’s encounter with a "Daughter of Time," whose iridescent hair reflects the shifting colors of the morning sky as she reveals the hidden architecture of existence through the stories of her children. It is a story that proves the most significant evolution is not found in the external world, but within the deep, quiet mysteries of the human heart.
