The Human Touch

What makes a hand-drawn portrait truly special

Every Line by Hand

No shortcuts. No tracing. Each stroke is placed with intention, building depth and character one mark at a time.

True Craftsmanship

Hours of focused work go into every portrait. A labour of love that captures not just likeness, but soul.

Drawn Live or From Photo

Whether I'm drawing you on the street or working from your reference photo, the process is raw and authentic.

"There's magic in watching a blank page transform. The eraser marks, the corrections — they're part of the story."
— Eric

My Story

The Journey

From school commissions to full-time street artist. A path built on passion.

Early Days

Commissioned Since School

The gift showed early. Classmates and teachers became my first clients, trading pocket money for pencil portraits.

2013

Went Full-Time

Left the 9-to-5 behind. Set up on the streets of South Africa, drawing live for passersby. No safety net, just faith in the craft.

2015

Street Exhibitions

My display board became a gallery. People stopped, watched, and left with portraits of their loved ones. Word spread.

2018

Colour Realism

Mastered colour pencil techniques. Portraits came alive with vibrant, lifelike tones while keeping that raw, hand-drawn soul.
