Obinna Okafor → Portrait Artist

I am a portrait artist specialising in hyper-realistic drawings created with charcoal and graphite pencil. Based in Edinburgh, I create bespoke portrait commissions for clients across the world.

My journey began with drawing cartoons and footballers for fun, which quickly grew into a lifelong passion for art. Today, I create detailed portraits of both humans and animals, capturing emotion, character, and realism in every piece.

Over the years, I have drawn well-known figures such as Lionel Messi and Francesco Totti, alongside many beloved pets including dogs, cats, and birds of prey.

For me, every portrait is more than a drawing ,it is a personal story brought to life through art. I am committed to creating meaningful artwork with care, professionalism, and attention to detail, while continuously refining my craft to deliver the highest quality results.
