Mike provided an excellent service. He carried out the commission to the letter. The pencil portrait of my wife from a single photo was better than expected. The detail and expression were superb. I cannot wait to give it as a surprise Christmas gift. Everything was on time. I chose to have the portrait framed and this was done beautifully. I have no hesitation in recommending Mike.
Response : Thank you Charles for such a glowing and generous review. Kind RegardsMikemcbpencilportraits. Uk.

Mike creasted a portrait of my parents from a photo that was nearly 50 yrs old. The end result is beautiful and exceeded my expectations. I can't wait to give this unique gift to my brother on his 50th birthday. A very very happy customer.

Commissioned a piece of work recently, completed on time and true quality example of artistic skill. Mike was courteous, approachable ano accommodating with my personal preferences and couldn't oblige enough. This is a fantastic piece which will be presented proudly in our home for years to come. Highly recommended and I will certainly revisit in coming month for further work. Ian.

I had a pencil portrait done of my son and his partner's black Labrador, as a Christmas present. The portrait was stunning and my son's partner was actually reduced to tears by it- happy tears , of course! The gift was such a success that I am about to order another "doggy" portrait as a 21st birthday present.

Just have to say the pencil portrait you did of our labrador was fantastic, and as I said my daughter would be just as happy with it too. She thought it was amazing and loved it. So thanks again Mike for a brilliant piece of work.

Mike did lovely drawings of my twins for their 18th birthdays and really captured their likeness from photos. He ensured that they arrived in time for their big day and that each twin has a quality keepsake that I will now frame.

The final piece of work was fantastic. Having left it till the last minute Mike managed to turn around the drawing in time for my Mums 60th. She absolutely loved it.

I have received a pencil portrait of our chocolate Labrador as a Christmas present from my daughter. I am absolutely over the moon as the likeness is spot on and I will definitely be recommending Mike. It made my Christmas to receive this portrait and I can't thank you enough -a very talented artist.

I saw an example of MCB's work on a friend's Facebook page and was blown away at how perfect the image produced was. This gave me the idea of what to give my gorgeous partner for Christmas. I simply sent a photo by email and I was sent back the beautiful image below, all done by hand, just wonderful! The cost was remarkably inexpensive and payment was easy to make through the link provided. I suggest that these portraits are a lovely personal gift, or memory for someone, totally unique and charming. Highly recommended! Thank you! M x.

What a way to do business. So pleased. After deposit, opportunity to review work prior to final payment. Picture arrived 2 days after final payment. Took approx 1 month from start to finish. So delighted with this special gift. Thank you.

I asked Mike to pencil draw my parents from a photograph - he has captured their personalities perfectly - I am totally delighted. He worked to our agreed time frame and the cost was reasonable. I don't have many photos of my father because he was the keen photographer - now I have something very special. Thank you.
