Based in Worcestershire, England, Alex specialises in pencil & pen studies of people and the natural world, with particular focus on miniature and small scale sketch illustrations.
Originally trained in architectural design and technical drafting, Alex combines these skills with his understanding and experience in photography in order to create realistic, hand drawn images inspired by early film photographs.
His chosen medium is a mixture of graphite pencils and graphic pens, ensuring the widest possible range of tonal values, from absolute whites to deep dark blacks, with the aim of creating detailed and contrast rich drawings despite their small form factor.
Under his self-titled YouTube channel, Alex is in the process of setting up ‘Drawing Therapy’ a space to share his passion for drawing and its therapeutic benefits through tutorials, draw-a-longs and relaxing creation videos.
