With his portraits, Wilfrid Wood does something most portrait artists don’t do. These portraits don’t emphasize the models’ best features and instead specialize in creating hilarious, satirical portraits that many say always get attention.
He likes to find interesting people on Instagram and use that person’s face as a subject. He quickly went from his inbox being full of messages, to people wanting to be involved in each portrait or commission him.
When I saw a schoolboy with a large afro walking down the street, I wanted to stop and ask him to pose for me. However, my boyfriend told me not to because it would be awkward.
His advice is to never judge a model before drawing them. He had drawn portraits of fashion models as well as people with interesting features and they turned out beautifully. Check out some of his work below and look at his Instagram for more.
