This is an example of what you will receive, your own custom made drawing from your photo, framed.

The perfect gift! Custom portrait drawings are a beautiful way to preserve the memories you love. This charcoal drawing is created on tan toned Strathmore paper. The paper is acid-free and archival. It measures at 8"x10" and comes with the frame shown which measures 16.5"x18.5". The drawing is floated off the glass to protect and preserve the surface. Museum glass is used to avoid damage from UV light which can fade and yellow the paper and weaken the structure of fibers.

CUSTOM ARTWORK

Fine art portraits are heirloom pieces that will be with your family for generations. Each one is custom made, unique and created to best reflect the personality of the subject. I strive to create portraits that are reflections of not only one’s appearance but also personality: that spark, twinkle in the eye or mischievous smile that shines through and makes you uniquely you!

WHAT PHOTOS WORK THE BEST?

These days phone cameras have come a long way so I'm more and more impressed with the quality clients send. In general, daylight works the best with no flash. It should be clear enough to see details like facial features without being pixelated. I'm able to edit photos to a certain degree so please go ahead and send them my way if you’re unsure.

CHOOSING A SIZE

Smaller sizes like an 8x10 are best for just the head and neck and top of shoulders.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE?

It depends on the size and orders in front of you but generally for smaller works, once I get the image it's about 10 days duntil shipping.
