Charcoal Drawings and Prints by Artist Russ Smith

On this site you will find some of my charcoal drawings of wildlife, pets, livestock, people, portraits, deer, elk, wolf, bear, birds’ eagles, and more. While I enjoy drawing wildlife I also love to capture memories of people with my charcoal drawings.

I will also do Custom and Personalized Charcoal and Graphite Drawing sketched directly from your favorite photo if you would like. Contact me for Details and send me a high resolution picture of what you would like me to draw. Send email to russ@charcoal-drawings-prints.com
Charcoal Drawings is the traditional medium used for centuries for portraits; they transform and capture memories with just enough detail to trigger the mind to recall that special moment.

**** It Is Important To Note ****
Internet graphic images do not provide the perfected quality and detail of the actual features included in the Charcoal Sketch / Drawing. While I have made ever attempt do have the charcoal drawing displayed as close as the actual drawings some contrast and detail seem to be slightly distorted.

These are my hand drawings – They are not a print or copy although you may purchase Giclee prints of these charcoal drawings.

How it works:

Simply click to purchase; make your payment or you may contact me regarding your method for payment. Once payment is completed, you will receive a Beautifully Black Matte or Light Tan Matte with the original artwork ready for your own framing.

This is hand drawn using charcoal and charcoal pencils on acid free, medium weight, lightly textured sketch paper. All Charcoal Drawings are protected with fixative spray for lasting quality and durability.

Your Charcoal Drawing is sold by me the artist and signed by me the artist.

I especially enjoy drawing and characterizing special emotion featured in an individual’s face and eyes to reflect the mood of the moment as I see it presented. I will capture and characterize a great deal more than is openly evident in appearance for every individual, pet, animal or any type of object; and, I represent that individualism in each sketch.

I like to draw being certain there are pleasing contrasts in charcoal tone and shading to bring out detail characteristic depths. However I do not try to make them photo realistic; I like to have enough detail to spark a special memory yet leave enough detail out so that it requires your brain to fill in the details. I believe this gives the viewer a more personal experience.

Each charcoal drawing is a “one-of-a-kind”, original drawing for your unique display; or providing an exceptional gift for that very special person in your life.

I draw with charcoal to achieve a very specific and desired effect that renders detail characteristics and style of a subject’s facial features with a softer finish and illustrative expression.
