Watch Shane Burke create some of his portrait art in his youtube speed drawings.   A typical one subject head and shoulders portrait takes 4-6 hours to complete.  Larger portraits with color can take up to 30 hours.  Black and white portraits are drawn with graphite pencils and dry brush.  Prisma Color are used for colored pencil portraits, with a little paint thinner and brush to blend the pencils.  Acrylics and oils are used for paintings, depending on preference.  Contact me for ordering info, comments, or questions.  To see more, check out and subscribe to my youtube channel, and for offers, specials, and giveaways, like my Facebook page.
