Psychedelic portrait of woman with beehive hair and vibrant checkerboard background
I created a bold and psychedelic graphic portrait illustration of Ronnie Spector, a renowned 1960s girl-group singer and musician from The Ronettes. The illustration features a lively, fun textured marker pen style, showcasing a large beehive hairstyle adorned with numerous swirls and ornamentation. The background consists of a vibrant retro checkerboard pattern. The pose was inspired by a press photograph, and I exaggerated certain elements to enhance the fantastical quality of the image.

More about portrait illustration

Portraits are as old as art itself, but because every face is unique they are particularly hard to execute. You can always tell when a portrait is a bit off. This is why talented portrait illustrators are invaluable across the creative industries. From live events where guests can have their portraits created through to editorial pieces, meet-the-team company web pages and private commissions, our portrait illustrators capture their subjects accurately and artfully. Portraiture is a particularly powerful category of illustration because it brings with it eye contact – a primal connection that always draws the viewer into the picture.
