Order a Portrait
Thank you for visiting my portrait commission page! Before submitting an order please read below carefully.
All my portraits are drawn by hand with traditional media (charcoal, graphite, and conte). Drawing a portrait usually takes between 6 - 12 hours for a single head depending on the complexity of the image.
When submitting a photo reference, submit one that has the clearest resolution possible, as this makes it easier to see details. If it is a traditional photograph (pre-digital), please scan the image on a flatbed scanner for the best possible results.
When requesting an image:
-
Pick a size. This is for the drawing alone. Framing is not included.
-
Pick your preferred medium. If you are unsure, I can give you suggestions based on your photo.
-
Email me your photo, what medium and what size you want.
-
Expect at least 1 month to complete the project from the day your order comes in, to the day it arrives in the mail.
-
If you would like a double portrait (or more) contact me via email and I will give you a quote.
