Transform your image into a high-contrast, beautiful charcoal piece.

Photo to Charcoal Drawing

A photo with deep shadows and bright highlights looks incredible when redrawn in charcoal. The contrast makes the subject stand out sharply against the paper. If you want a portrait that really grabs attention, converting your photo into charcoal is the best choice.

I carefully map out the light and dark areas of your photo before I even touch the charcoal to the paper. Because charcoal is such a bold medium, it requires a lot of planning, but the final result is always worth it.

Common Questions

Q: Is charcoal more expensive than pencil?

It is slightly more expensive because the materials cost more and it requires a different set of blending techniques.

Q: Can I get a charcoal drawing in A4 size?

Yes, A4 is possible for a single face. However, charcoal is a broad medium, so A3 size always yields a much better result.
