Celeste de Paula's pencil portraits combine traditional drawing, observation and attention to detail to create works that preserve the personality and traits of the person represented.
His work includes portraits made with graphite pencil, character studies and illustrations inspired by cinema, series and popular culture.
Each drawing starts from a reference and is developed as its own graphic work, taking special care of the drawing, the proportions, the expression and the details.

Celeste de Paula develops her drawings on paper using graphite pencil, progressively building the shapes and contrasts until the final result is achieved.
