Paul Ryding, Illustrator, London

About

This black and white portrait illustration by London-based illustrator Paul Ryding depicts a man in his 50s wearing round glasses and a collared shirt under a dark jacket. The detailed pencil or graphite rendering style creates fine textural shading on the subject's face and hair. Behind the central figure, a dynamic teal brushstroke element adds a vibrant splash of color against the plain white backdrop. The clean composition highlights the precision and craftsmanship of the illustrative technique.
