COMMISSIONS
Commissioning a drawing is an opportunity to turn something meaningful into a unique and lasting piece of art. Whether it’s a keepsake, portrait or a special memory, I’ll work with you to create a composition that tells a story.
FAQs
-
The price of your drawing will depend on the complexity of the image and desired size.
The final price will be confirmed once I’ve seen the reference image and estimated a timeline for completion. A deposit of 50% is required before I begin the drawing
-
I currently offer commissions from A3 upwards.
A2 and A1 are the most popular sizes, but I can also work to bespoke dimensions upon request.
-
A commission typically takes 1-6 weeks, depending on the size complexity of the drawing
I’ll give you an estimated completion date when we discuss your commission. If you have a particular date you’re working towards; a birthday, wedding, anniversary etc. let me know when enquiring and I’ll do my best to accommodate it.
-
The better the reference, the better the drawing.
For the best possible result, I prefer to photograph the subject myself. This means I can control the lighting, composition and level of detail, and make sure the photograph is captured specifically with the final drawing in mind.
If you already have a photograph you’d like me to work from, that’s absolutely fine too. I’m looking for high-resolution, well-lit photographs with plenty of detail, particularly if the subject is a person or an object with lots of texture. Send over what you have in mind and I’ll let you know if it’s suitable, or we can discuss how to get the perfect reference.
-
Framing is available as an optional extra.
All drawings can be professionally framed to suit the piece and its final destination. I’ll discuss framing options and costs with you before the commission is completed.
-
Yes. I’ll send you photos throughout the process, so you can see your drawing taking shape. As an optional extra, I can make a time-lapse of the whole process too.
If you’d like to make a change along the way, I’m happy to accommodate this where possible. Minor adjustments are included, while significant changes to the composition or drawing may incur an additional cost, depending on the amount of additional work required.
