Welcome to MCB Pencil Portraits based in Birmingham, United Kingdom. My aim is to create unique pencil portraits that will be treasured for many years. I work with A3, A4 and A5 extra smooth surface drawing pad and use watercolour or studio pencils to draw the pencil portrait drawings. Each drawing is sprayed with gloss varnish which forms a colourless glass clear coating making it resistant to smearing and smudging.   To order a unique portrait, drawn by Pencil Artist Mike Bruce, click on Price/Order page and follow instructions or you can click on contact page to send me your photo by email. On receipt of your email I will email you back to confirm receipt and request non-refundable 20% deposit if not already paid. Photographs you send me can be digital or conventional: the clearer and sharper the photo, the better the portrait drawing will be. Please read my testimonials page for comments from previous client's, I am confident you will be satisfied with your portrait, however if in the unlikely event you are not, a full refund is available.
