Incorporating historical elements into his portraits such as costumes and hair styles is his way of bringing his two passions together to create unique works of art. As a structural engineer from nine to five, and a portrait artist in his free time, Sam has been learning about portraiture, figure drawing, anatomy, and gesture drawing from a young age, always finding time to keep developing his abilities.
Sam has taught a number of drawing workshops, ranging from portraiture, figure drawing, and more. He also shares his work in progress drawings with his followers on Instagram to help others improve.
