Hand-drawn realism
Every hair. Every detail. Every time.
Wasseem works entirely by hand. A single portrait takes 16 to 20 hours, built up line by line until it breathes.
Most pieces are charcoal and graphite — with a touch of color when it brings a portrait to life.
What he draws
Portraits made personal
Pets
Dogs, cats, and horses — captured with the character only their owner sees.
