Your drawing can only be as good as your photo
When selecting your photo for your commission drawing, please bear in mind that I can only draw what I can see. Therefore your digital image needs to be of a good size, have good lighting and be in focus. Also it needs to be the complete picture, i.e. no missing limbs such as arms or the top of the head.
All portraits are drawn onto a plain white background. If you want me to 'lose' other items from the drawing, this isn't normally a problem.
Creating a picture
I can create drawings from more than one photo, for example putting people/celebs together from various photos. This is ideal for creating a couple, family portrait, selfie with a celeb or to include friends etc. For this, try to select photos where the colour and lighting is similar, although this can be done here in my studio in many cases. Where your drawing includes a celeb, send a pic or the name of the celeb so that I can research a decent pose to match your senario. Family figure photos including underage children should be of a naturist theme.
Vintage portraits
I am able to produce drawings from old black and white photos so long as the original has good depth of tone and is in focus. Scratches etc are not a problem.
If you have any other questions, please ask as I'll be very happy to help you get the 'drawing' you want.
