Explore Inspiring Portraits by Dane Ikin

This website is full of examples of what I draw for people. Most of the examples feature celebrities so you can judge how well I capture the essence of the person concerned. The idea is that you send me a photo (or multiple photos) and I produce a work of art that captures your loved ones in a way that you are proud to display on your wall. In a way that constantly reminds you how much you love these people.

My portraits are marketed through https://daneikin.etsy.com which lists all the available options for commissions. Etsy also handles all the financial aspects securely.

I have had the privilege of running some art classes where my students inevitably wish to expand their skills beyond drawing portraits. To satisfy this need, I draw pictures with other subject matter from time to time. There are some examples of these on this site though more are to be found at https://www.greatdanegraphics.com.au (which is my graphic design website).

Any of my previously completed artwork is available for sale on application through the Etsy site’s messaging system or you can use the contact page below.

Dane, all I can say is that you have exceeded my expectations on this coloured biro drawing of my parents … I cried when I saw my father.

… Dane was great at explaining exactly what was needed for a 2 subject drawing, and then able to blend two photographs into one picture …
