STEP 1 : CHOOSE YOUR PORTRAIT
Firstly, have a look over my current price list and decide which size you'd like to order. If you can't decide which you'd like then feel free to let me know and I can help you choose.
These are just my standard sizes so if you're wanting: A different size, A different ratio (rectangular or square), or 4+ subjects then I can give you a quote.
| Size | Graphite | Colour |
|---|---|---|
| A4 | £60 | £80 |
| A3 | £100 | £140 |
| A2 | £150 | £200 |
| A1 | £200 | £250 |
FRAMING & FIXATIVE COATING
Each portrait is treated with a professional fixative coating and allowed sufficient drying time to prevent smudging and ensure longevity. This process guarantees your artwork arrives in perfect condition.
ORDERING OUTSIDE THE UK
If you live outside the UK, additional postage costs will be added to the cost of the portrait - I'll discuss this with you when we talk about your order. Also you would be responsible for any sales tax on your end if this applies to your country.
STEP 2 : REFERENCE PHOTO
TIPS:
- You will ideally need a high quality head shot photo so I can capture the most detail within the drawing.
- Natural daylight through a window is the best lighting for the photo.
- Key features such as eyes and nose should be clear.
- Best to take multiple pictures to find the best one. I recommend holding your pet's favourite treat or toy behind the camera so they focus on that.
Feel free to check if your photos are suitable by emailing them to me and I'll check over them.
A lot of my previous commissions are of pets who have sadly passed. If this is the case with your pet then send me whatever photos you have and I will see what I can do.
STEP 3 : SECURING YOUR BOOKING
Once you've chosen your portrait size and reference photo, it is time to secure your booking. If you haven't done so already, send me an email and we can discuss the details and process of your portrait.
Your booking is not complete until a 50% deposit (non-refundable) is made. The remaining 50% will be made once the portrait is complete and you are 100% pleased with the outcome.
STEP 4 : CREATING YOUR PORTRAIT
If you would like to stay updated through the creation of your portrait then I can send you regular updates as I go - or it can be a surprise once I feel it's complete.
The time a portrait takes to complete differs depending on the size and number of subjects. If you have a deadline, please let me know so I can take this into account.
Once you are 100% happy with the final drawing, the remaining 50% payment can be made.
STEP 5 : DELIVERY & REVIEW
DELIVERY: Once I have received your final payment, I will package your drawing up securely and post it to you.
REVIEW: I would love to hear your thoughts once you receive your portrait so please let me know.
