Sociban Sketch is a one-artist studio making graphite and charcoal portraits — ready-made pieces to buy today, or a fully personalised sketch made just for your person.
Every piece below is an original graphite drawing — printed as a fine-art giclée or shipped as the original, your choice at checkout.
Choose a ready piece from the gallery, or start a custom order with your own reference photo.
Every commission is drawn with graphite or charcoal on 300gsm paper — no filters, no AI art.
For custom orders, you'll get a photo of the near-final sketch before it's packed and shipped.
Packed flat with a protective sleeve, ready to drop into any standard frame.
Anniversaries, birthdays, farewells, memorials, or just because — send a clear photo and tell me the story behind it. I'll turn it into a piece worth framing.
A clear, well-lit photo gives the best likeness — face fully visible works best.
A line about who it's for and why helps me get the mood of the piece right.
You'll hear back within 24 hours with a quote based on size and detail.
"Got a sketch made for my parents' 25th anniversary — everyone at the party assumed it was a printed photo until they got close. Absolutely worth it."
"The pet portrait of my dog is now the first thing people notice when they walk into my living room. Shipping was quick too."
"I was nervous ordering a custom piece online, but the preview step before shipping made it feel completely safe. Will order again for my sister's birthday."
