Welcome to Colour Drawn Portraits!
My name is Samantha. I draw portraits of children from photographs in coloured pencil. I can turn your photo of your child or children into a picture that will give off a feeling of life and warmth every time you look at it. I specialise in a wide range of drawings. Just recently I drew a child who had a few facial deformities and I have also drawn for families who have suffered a loss of a child or given birth to a stillborn, sleeping baby. It is my prayer that each drawing will be able to bring comfort and help in the healing process and that each family will have the best possible memory of their baby or child.
My portraits capture your memory in a way no ordinary photo could. I look at your photos and I try to see beyond just the photos and I look for the heart of the overall picture and I look for ways to bring them out. The great thing about these hand drawn portraits is you can add or take things out which overall is what creates the best possible memory. The coloured pencil makes your portrait more vibrant and real. It can bring a softness or a boldness that contributes in capturing the heart of your picture.
Most drawings are done within a week or two sometimes earlier or later depending on size and number of children or babies to be drawn. Time, price etc will be discussed by email. Package deals with more than one portrait can be negotiated too. If you have any questions please email me at [email protected]

Thank you Samantha for the picture you drew of my son as a baby. It will be something I can give to him on his 21st birthday. Kelly SA Samantha, I'd like to thank you again for your wonderful work on the portraits of my beloved son Ayrton who now rests in heaven. For a long time I have wanted to share a photo of my son with others, but as he was born sleeping, I worried some people would find the photos confronting. Now thanks to your talent, you've captured the best of my little boy in some beautiful portraits I will share with my family and friends. This means so much to me, thank you just does not seem enough! You are not only artistically talented, you are also professional (always involving me in your process along the way) and so very generous with your time and talent. Thank you, thank you, thank you! xx Danielle NSW I would like to recognize a special person who has made an impact on me and my families life during a very difficult time. I lost my son in 2012 and although we took many pictures in the four days we had with him what Samantha has done is extraordinary. She was able to use one of my favourite pictures of my son and turned it into a real life... memory. She took the time to hand draw this picture and make it come to life. I received it a few days before my birthday and when I opened the package my heart was filled with such joy. This picture is now framed and hanging in my home. I will be forever grateful of what she has done for me. I recommend her to anyone who is suffering a great loss or anyone who would just like a picture more real. It absolutely helped my grieving process. I look at the picture everyday and smile. Eventually memories fade but this picture is for a lifetime. Thank you for making my heart somewhat full again.
