Hand-Drawn Ink Silhouette Portrait

Our Best-Selling Market Portrait - Now Available Online

Created entirely by hand from your photograph, this minimalist silhouette captures the essence of a moment without facial detail - allowing posture, movement and connection to tell the story.

Each piece is carefully drawn in ink on fine art paper, embracing a subtle style that feels both modern and nostalgic. A quiet balance of contemporary minimalism and traditional craftsmanship.

This portrait has become a sell-out favourite at markets including The Garage Chilwell, The Stalls West Bridgford, and Design 44’s Makers Market at Derbion - and is now available to order online.

Using your photo as reference, I create a unique faceless illustration that captures love, warmth and connection. Whether it’s cuddles on the couch, wedding embraces, a child’s profile, a beloved pet or an everyday hug you never want to forget - this artwork transforms fleeting moments into heirloom keepsakes.

Each illustration is lovingly created by me, Simone in my signature line art style. This is not digital artwork. It is a traditional pen and ink drawing on high-quality paper, made especially for you.

A quiet statement piece. Designed to last a lifetime.
