Rhys Midge - Artist

Quick break from my artwork to watch mother nature do her thing. Front row seat in the back garden. Amazing xx

Felt wrong having a photograph for my profile photo on my artist page rather than a self-portrait so I knocked this up. Supposed to be a quick portrait half the size of normal. Ended up loosing my patience and rushing it a bit. Turns out I bought the wrong black paper and as a result ran into all sort of troubles with it. Constantly wearing holes in the surface of the paper no matter how hard I tried. This also meant I was unable to use particularly sharp pencils for any detailed work. The quality has definitely suffered. If it was a commission I would have definitely started again pretty early in, but I decided to battle on. Anyway this is the result x

Here he is. Marley the 'sandy' black Labrador all finished. By far my most time consuming and fiddly drawing to date. Completed in a mix of prismacolor and polychromos pencils for the lovely Sarah Malkinson . Lost count of the hours, do it for the love. Hope you love it as much as me. Commissions available. Please like and share x

Marley - progress shots: part 1 Sarah Malkinson black Labrador covered from head to toe in sand. By far my most challenging draw to date. 30hrs so far, though I feel I haven't scratched the surface yet he is starting to take shape. Can't wait for the final result. Follow for more, full timelapse video to follow. Comissions available x

This is my tribute to one my best friends and one of my favorite human beings that I ever had a pleasure of knowing...95 hours drawing felt like I got to spend that little bit of extra time with him and experience all the necessary emotions I needed. He had the best face and it will stay with me forevermore. If you want your favourite photo turned into a priceless peice of art please contact me xx

This is my first ever drawing of my beautiful niece. Drawn free hand without a grid. Comission available: Follow for more x

This is my most recent piece of art. My friend Mark 'sparky' Squires lost his dad 2 years ago. He had this one grainy photograph of the two of them together and it means the world to him. I took the photograph into photoshop ramped up the colours, improved the sharpness and copied it in coloured pencils. This is the result. Gave him the finished product this afternoon and he was made up with the result. So very chuffed with how it came out. So, if you want one of your favourite photographs turned into a priceless peice of art, comissions are available # # #

These prints are incredible. You can barely distinguish between them and the original. All commissions come with the option to get as many prints as you would like in any size, to give to loved ones. Or if you would like a copy of any of my other works contact me x

This is my first ever commission and pet portrait, and first attempt at drawing fur. More pet portraits in the pipeline. If anyone would like a portrait of their pet or as a gift for a loved one commissions are available at: Rhys Midge - Artist [email protected]

This is my first attempt using pencils. Drawn freehand without gridding. Of my beautiful niece. I did this to see if I could get away without squaring up in future portraits. Although I am very happy with the result, I came to the conclusion that I can't and will be gridding from now on to be as accurate as I can possibly be. Photorealism is the goal.

These pencils are amazing. I Couldn't recommend them more!! The creaminess of the wax makes them an absolute pleasure to blend. These are what I use to create my portraits, and will be until somone can convince me there are better options x
