I am 25 years old and i have been drawing for over 11 years.I praise God everyday for this wonderful gift he has given me. I stared drawing portraits about 3 years ago and i Enjoy seeing the happy faces when they see there face drawn so clearly. But i have been wondering if people really want hand drawn portraits anymore for i haven't gotten any business for some time now. what do you think? do you think People want hand drawn portraits or should i try something else for my Job.? Thanks God Bless.

Wow, I think that's amazing you can draw like that. If you drew the eye in your avatar, then you have a lot of talent. I'm sure there are people that would like hand drawn portraits, I guess it just depends where you live. Are you good at drawing animals? Because people may want to have pictures of their pets. I have a horse and I know I would love it if I got a portrait done of him. It would be like having a masterpiece that I actually know the subject of. Try posting things in your area and talk to friends and family about it. If you're good enough, people will definitely want it.

Hello there. I salute you artisteye! I personally like hand drawn portraits. Before, I liked to have my own hand drawn portrait. But, as a student, I thought that those portraits are expensive (which are really expensive and I can't afford them). I also make hand drawn portraits. The charcoal drawings. But I can't draw objects in motion. They should be still or in a picture where I can draw grids. The grids are my guide. I am no pro.. And I'm still practicing. I like sketching since I was in grade school. I love coloring and drawing. The people whom I made a portrait are satisfied with what I've drawn, but I'm not. I'm still not good with the shading part. And I have a hard time with the eyes.
