Pencil portraits are usually drawings of people or animals. Baby portraits, children's portraits and portraits of grandparents are very popular sketch subjects. A portrait of a family, a group of people, or a portrait of an individual person can be done.
A portrait done in pencil usually requires photos of the subject to be drawn. Choosing the right photos for a pencil portrait is important. A good pencil portrait from a small photo may be drawn but large photos are easier to work with because they have more detail.
