Commission a Custom Pencil Drawing

Commission Your Own Custom Pencil Drawing

Turn a cherished place, family home, favourite landmark, or special memory into a beautiful, hand-drawn original artwork.

I create highly detailed graphite pencil drawings of buildings, street scenes, landscapes, interiors and more — with a focus on the character and soul of places in Lancashire, Cumbria and across the UK.Whether the location still exists or lives only in old photographs and memories, each commission is meticulously researched and personally crafted for you.

Capture a Special Place or Memory

Popular subjects include:

Your family home or ancestral house
A favourite holiday destination or landmark
Local countryside, churches, bridges or street scenes
Pubs, cafes, historic interiors or landscapes
Commemorative pieces from old photographs

Each drawing is completely unique and tailored to your vision. Provide reference photos or descriptions, and I will research additional details for accuracy.
