About Anton

Anton is a portfolio for people who draw faces for a living. It is built as a working model sheet: the homepage opens with the same head drawn at five angles, each cell captioned with its angle, standing beside the finished drawing those five studies are for. Everything below it reads as part of the same document.

The page runs fifteen sections in a deliberate order. An expression row shows one face in six moods. The work arrives as a sheet of ruled, numbered cells pulled straight from the Portfolio app. A likeness key sets out which features get pushed and by how much, with a study frame and a line of reasoning for each. Four passes of a single drawing show pencil, rough, ink and color.

Then the commercial half: four commission types with a price and a turnaround stamped on each, a rate card carrying real figures on two axes, a strip of live event drawings, an about section with a fact ledger and a materials run, a studio board saying what is open right now, client references filed against the jobs they came from, a short FAQ, and a commission order form with its own selects for how many heads and what kind of job.

The design stays quiet so the artwork carries the color: a cool drafting-grey ground, white sheets, hairlines instead of boxes, square corners, no shadows, and one red-pencil accent for links, buttons and the sheet numbers. Roboto Slab sets the headings, Roboto Mono the navigation and every spec strip, Assistant the reading text. The header is a punched page edge carrying a stamped availability field.

The Portfolio app is wired throughout. Its index is the full head sheet the homepage shows six cells of, and each item opens as the record of one sitting: the finished plate, the job's data as a ruled register, and the roughs that got there.
