The Process of Creating a “Personality Portrait”

As a portrait artist, Emily looks for what is most unique about a person by observing their preferences for certain poses, colors and facial expressions. A “Personality Portrait” is often a surprising combination of a person’s physical likeness and their inner essence.

It is easy to see how this process works by comparing a photograph and a drawing of the same person as seen in the example on this page: a photograph of David next to Emily’s drawing of him.
