A TALENTED portrait artist has created a stunning drawing of Wrexham's famous co-chairmen.
By now, Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney are known around the world for being the Reds' star owners.
And their journey since taking over in early 2021 has been nothing short of incredible so far with the club winning the National League title thanks to a 3-1 win over Boreham Wood on April 22.
That also meant that Wrexham ended 15 years of hurt that day as they earned their long-awaited promotion back to the English Football League.
Interest in the club has never been greater from football fans in general - and that has led to an artist from Derbyshire being inspired to create a portrait of the Reds' famous owners.
Sophie Edwards said she decided to depict Rob and Ryan in one of her latest works thanks to several requests made by her 39,000 followers on Twitter.
Sophie, from Derby, said: "I always ask my followers who they would like to see me draw, Rob and Ryan was a popular choice."

She added: "The drawing took me around 15 hours altogether over a couple of days.
"I have been following their journey and I think it is a fantastic achievement for the club and the whole of Wrexham."
Among some of Sophie's other most recent works - which can be viewed and purchased here - is a portrait of King Charles III.

Asked about where her love for drawing came from, Sophie said: "Art was always my favourite subject in school from a young age. I have always loved drawing.
"I have been doing portraits for around 10 years since leaving school. I mainly use pencils - Faber Castell Polychromos & Caran D’ache Luminance pencils.
"I did a drawing of Only Fools and Horses with the four main characters in, that is one of my favourites that I have done and one that many people loved as the 4 main characters were never in the programme together (Del Boy, Rodney, Grandad & Uncle Albert). I also really like my David Beckham drawing."
