Commissions

Completion times will vary depending upon drawing size, complexity, and other projects, but I will generally need 2 weeks to complete a commission and have it prepared for shipping. Please consider this and shipping time if you would like a commission completed before a specific date. I can give you a more accurate estimate for completion time once details of your drawing are finalized.

Please provide a digital photograph that is of sufficient resolution to see the level of detail you would like in the drawing. For portraits, it is best if the subject is not illuminated by a flash or directly from the front by some other source because this tends to eliminate shadows and reduce the sense of depth.

Composition

Creating an accurate likeness of someone is a large portion of the work for portraits. Requests involving multiple faces will require more work and be more time-consuming. Each face in addition to the first adds 15% to the price.

Payment

I will email you a PayPal® invoice once we've finalized details of your drawing and before I begin. Payment is 50% of the drawing's cost as a retainer and the remaining 50% upon completion.

Updates

I will email you photographs periodically so you can follow the progress as I work on your drawing.

Paper

I use 400 and 500 Series Strathmore® Bristol Board.

Shipping

I will ship your drawing either U.S. Postal Service or UPS and will provide you a list of their shipping options. The package will be insured for the full value of the drawing. I will send you a PayPal invoice that incorporates your shipping option into the final 50% payment. After I receive your payment I will ship your drawing and provide you with your package tracking number.
