Hello everyone, I just want to share these portraits I've done for commissions.

When I was young, I was told that I will not benefit much in making things like arts and crafts, but that doesn't stop me. Painting and drawing became my most valuable hobby. It makes me express my insights and feelings. I never thought that someday, it will also become my source of income.

It was 2014 when I first use color pencils as medium for realistic portraits. I have been inspired by the local artists here in the Philippines who excel in realistic portraits. One of my friends saw this and ask me if I could make a portrait of her and that she''ll pay. That is my first commission. And as the time goes on, I learned how to mix and blend colors for more realistic effect. I learned to use different mediums as well like watercolor and markers.

My parents are happy with what I'm doing too for it helped me support my studies that time, and I also gave them a part of my commission.

Here are some of the portraits I've done:
