Portrait Artist
Welcome to Tom McGlynn Portraits, where I specialise in hand-drawn pencil portraits that capture the essence and emotions of my subjects. Based in Liverpool, I accept portrait commissions from across the UK and internationally. Working exclusively from digital photographs, I allow clients to easily share their favourite images via email. My goal is to create timeless pencil portraits—whether it's a loved one, a cherished memory, or a pet portrait—that resonate emotionally and bring your vision to life.
Portrait Specialist
I specialise in creating custom pencil portraits of adults, children, and pets, with a focus on capturing those emotionally significant moments. Whether it’s the delicate features of a child, the character of a pet, or a special family moment, my goal is always to reflect the true emotions behind each subject through fine pencil work. Each portrait is carefully crafted to express the subject's unique personality and physical likeness.

My aim is to capture both the physical likeness and the deeper emotions of each subject, making every portrait unique. By working with multiple photographs, I can better understand the features and personality, ensuring they come to life on paper.
