How it works
- Use the Contact form above to request a commission. Please include your pet's name type of animal, and/or breed.
- We will then discuss the medium and when the artwork could be completed, sizing, prices, and shipping.
- I will then ask you to e-mail photos of your pet, they need to be high resolution, the more detail the better.
- Once photos are approved and the portrait details are agreed upon, a 50% non-refundable deposit is required before your portrait will be started. (This covers the cost of materials that will be used and my time). A PayPal invoice will be sent for the deposit along with a PDF Commission Agreement form. Shipping information will be included as well, it is an extra cost.
- After the deposit is received, I will send you progress photo's via e-mail, of your portrait as it is being worked on to keep you updated.
- Once the artwork is complete I will send you a proof to approve, along with an invoice for the remaining balance. Once approved and the final payment is received, your artwork will be shipped the following business day, and you will be provided a tracking number.
- Your finished portrait will arrive matted and framed. Ready to go up on your wall! (Artwork being shipped out of country will not be framed, I will not ship glass out of country. Your artwork will be matted and in a clear acrylic sleeve.)
When will my drawing be complete?
This depends on firstly what month you've booked your drawing for, as custom work is booked 2 months or more in advance. The time of the drawing process to when your artwork is complete, depends on the subject numbers and size of the drawing. A one subject drawing can be completed in about 4 to 10 working days. During the drawing process you will get to see the progress and the final result when the drawing is complete.
shipping
Once the final payment for the artwork is paid, including shipping, the artwork will be shipped through USPS Priority Mail, and insured. It usually takes between 2 to 3 days for the US, and 4 to 7 days for the UK. The cost of shipping varies due to the size of the drawing and shipping location. Shipping in the US costs around $25 - $50, shipping out of country usually costs around $150 (we will discuss how much it will officially cost). The artwork shipped in the US, will be framed and bubble wrapped. Artwork shipped out of country, will be matted and in a clear acrylic sleeve sandwiched between foam-boards and bubble wrap (will not ship glass out of country).
What types of photos?
Please take photos of your pets in good, natural light, or outdoors. Over-cast, morning, or evening light is best for outdoors, the middle of the day is too harsh of light to make a good portrait. Your photos need to also be high resolution for detail, I can't work from blurry photos. Please do not send photos of you pet taken with a flash, this will not be good lighting for a portrait.
