Here’s a Step By Step Guide of How I Create My Commissions.
You dream it.
It all begins with a photograph. Perhaps it’s a cherished memory or reliving a joyous occasion. Whatever it may be, allow me to work with you in creating memorable lifelike drawings!
All reference images that are emailed to me must be of high quality. I use one main image to draw from, but you can always send me a small selection of photos for me to choose from. In doing so I can better determine the subjects character that can improve my drawing process. PLEASE, DO NOT SEND ME BLURRED OR PIXELATED IMAGES WHEN ZOOMING IN OR OUT OF THE REFERENCE PHOTO.
I draw it.
Once I receive your approved image (with the number of subjects in the photo), the size of the drawing, and half of total amount, this is where I begin to draw your personalized drawing.
All realistic drawings are drawn using Faber-Castell Pitt Graphite Matte pencil set. The high quality paper used are Strathmore 400 Series Mixed Media paper in the color white or Fabriano Artistico Hot Pressed Watercolor paper also in White. All commissions are sent as a printed signed copy of the original drawing.
If you wish to purchase the original drawing, an additional fee is required. Before the drawing is completed, a workable fixative is used to prevent smudge.
Please allow 2- 8 weeks to complete desired drawing. ***This does not include shipping!***
***Please note depending on how large the size of the drawing is & how many subjects are in the image will depend on how long it will take to complete the desired drawing!***
I Ship It
Once your lifelike drawing is finished, the remainder of your payment is due before shipping.
After final payment is made, all realistic drawings are sealed in a plastic protective sleeve to prevent any damages and bending. Your sketch is then placed in a ridged mailer (marked fragile) and shipped to the address provided (USA only please).
