Commissions are OPEN!! Please be patient with me while I navigate some health struggles. I’m currently working shorter hours and am requesting commissions with no sudden deadlines so I can take my time with each piece and give it the attention it deserves. Thank you!!!
Step 1: Choose A Reference Photo
When choosing a photo for your commission, be sure to inspect it very closely! The higher the photo quality and the clearer the image, the better the drawing - I cannot stress this enough!!! Please check out the examples below.
Note that I typically will not draw the background of a portrait, only the subject(s). If you'd like the background drawn, please specify as much! You can see pricing details for adding a background below.
I currently offer portraits in the form of black & white pencil drawings, as this is my strongest skillset.
If you have a group photo of more than 2-3 people/animals, I'd recommend having them drawn separately. To fit 3+ people on a single page and retain the detail in their faces can be difficult at the sizes I offer. The more space I have to work with their features, the easier it is for me to draw the portrait accurately.
When drawing people, I prefer close-up photos of just their face(s) rather than the full body for the same reason as above.
If you're unsure of which photo to choose, feel free to send me a bunch of them! :)
