Hand-Drawn Portrait Art — Capturing Every Detail
Every face has a story. Every expression carries a lifetime of emotion. At Ry Arts, I specialize in creating hand-drawn pencil and charcoal portraits that capture the true essence of your subject — not just their appearance, but their personality, spirit, and the feelings they evoke.
Based in Davao City, Philippines, I have created over 200 custom portrait commissions for clients across Mindanao and throughout the country. Whether it is a birthday gift for a loved one, a memorial piece honoring someone special, or a family portrait to hang on your wall — each piece is drawn with precision, patience, and passion.
Types of Portrait Commissions
No two portraits are the same. I work with you to determine the perfect style, medium, and composition for your piece:
Pencil Portraits — Classic graphite drawings with smooth tonal range and fine detail. The most popular choice for realistic likenesses.
Charcoal Portraits — Rich, dramatic black-and-white pieces with deep contrast. Perfect for high-impact artwork with a bold, artistic feel.
Colored Pencil Portraits — Vibrant, lifelike renderings that bring subjects to life with color while maintaining the hand-drawn quality.
Couple & Family Portraits — I can combine separate photos of family members into one unified composition, perfect for gifts and home display.
Pet Portraits — Your fur babies deserve art too. I draw detailed portraits of dogs, cats, and other beloved pets.
Memorial Portraits — Honoring those who have passed. I work carefully from old photos to create lasting tributes that families treasure.
How It Works — From Photo to Finished Art
Commissioning a portrait from Ry Arts is simple. Here is how the process works:
Step 1: Send Your Photo — Message me via Facebook, email, or the contact form on this site. Send a clear reference photo and let me know the size and style you prefer.
Step 2: Get a Quote — I will reply with a price quote and estimated timeline based on your requirements. No obligation — consultations are always free.
Step 3: Approve the Sketch — Before I begin detailed shading, I will send a preliminary sketch for your approval so we are aligned on the composition.
Step 4: Detailed Drawing — I work on your portrait with regular progress updates so you can watch it come to life.
Step 5: Delivery — Your finished portrait is carefully packaged and delivered. Within Davao City, I offer free meetup delivery. Nationwide shipping is available via LBC or J&T.
The Perfect Gift for Any Occasion
A hand-drawn portrait is one of the most meaningful, personal gifts you can give. Clients in Davao City and beyond have commissioned portraits for birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, graduations, Christmas, Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, and memorials.
Unlike mass-produced prints, a custom portrait shows that you put thought, time, and heart into your gift. It is a one-of-a-kind piece of art that the recipient will cherish for a lifetime.
