I only do horse or human portrait commissions at present. If you would like me to draw a portrait for you, please send me an e-mail with a reference picture. The picture should be a decent size (over 4 x 6 inches) and detailed. At least 300 dpi, I can only draw the detail I see. The more detail in the photo, the better the drawing.
Please see examples below
I require a 50% deposit before I will start any work. I have Paypal, or bank deposit is fine. I will send you WIP updates if requested. When I have completed your portrait, I will email you a copy of the finished portrait. If you are satisfied with the work, the rest of the payment is required and I will post the original drawing to you in a tube, so it arrives safely and also by registered post. If you need the portrait for a special occassion or date, please let me know. My prices are below:
9 x 12 inch graphite portrait single person $125.00
9 x 12 inch graphite portrait 2 people $160.00
These prices do not include postage and handling.
I always use high quality Bristol paper and spray with fixative to preserve your picture.
