Today’s portraits are so good, I had to check a number of times to make sure they weren’t AI. These are the remarkably-AI-free pencil-and-charcoal portraits by Becky Garley.

Garley encourages commission clients to send her as many photos as they can. She then sorts through them, pulling out the ones she thinks are the most evocative, that best capture the personality of the subject. She then creates her photo-realistic portraits slowly, taking great care
