Portrait Pencil Drawings Biography
A native of Atlanta, Jim Schell is a self-taught painter. His first job as an artist was drawing for the old Atlanta Georgian newspaper at the age of 12. When he was 14, he studied for a summer at the Detroit Art Academy under the director Carlos Lopez, a muralist-painter. Mr. Schell later became an illustrator on Pacific Stars and Stripes in World War II.
When he returned to Atlanta he co-founded Kirkland, White, and Schell Advertising Agency, receiving numerous national and regional awards for illustration and design. In 1982, he retired to devote his time to oil portraits, many of which have appeared on the cover of Business Atlanta and in American Artist Magazine.
Mr. Schell's art combines masterful drawing with a wonderful sense of color and design. With confidence that comes from many years of experience, he captures the essence of the model's likeness on canvas with a light sketching of charcoal and sure use of color in his brushwork.
Jim Schell is a highly honored member of the Portrait Society of Atlanta where he is a Member of Excellence and an Advisory Board Member. He has also been a member of the Abernathy Arts Center teaching staff for over 20 years. Jim continues to inspire and motivate his students, many of whom are already accomplished painters.

I have a very painterly style and do not use pencil in the way you would expect. Drawing with graphite shavings and a putty rubber, the portrait subject is moulded with my fingertips. This creates very three-dimensional features that appear to lift from the page. Although pencil lines can be seen in finer details of my drawings, the majority of the mark making is sculpted in this way. I create mood, character and true realism, moving away from the sketchy style other artists are able to produce relatively quickly. An average head shot can take me up to 10 hours to complete.
Viewing these pieces online does not do these graphite portraits justice. Rest assured if you like the images on the site – you would love the original artwork.
Commissioning a Unique Pencil Portrait
Commissioning a portrait is a very personal project to embark on; to get exactly what you want can be hard if you can’t talk directly to the artist. I commit to one pencil portrait at a time, providing a personal one-to-one service for my clients. There is nothing mass-produced about my work, a lot of time is spent creating the highest standard possible. Treating every commission as an individual art piece, I make sure your personal portrait is tailored specifically to your needs. I am proud to think that some commissions will become family heirlooms, that many generation will enjoy in years to come.
Take a look at my pencil portrait style and take a browse through my different galleries including,
Children’s Portraits, Group Portraits, Adults Portraits, Pet Portraits.
Let me know if you enjoy my work and would like to consider me as your Portrait Artist.
