Step 1: Deposit
A 50% Deposit is required to retain a place on the client wait list. This is 100% refundable for any reason before work commences. Wait times vary anywhere between 1-3 months according to current workload but an approximate delivery time will be discussed with the client. Inquire ahead of time if you have a specific date in mind.

Step 2: Design
Once I receive your photographs we can discuss portrait style and size. The photographs you supply will impact greatly on the portrait I will create. Please review the section on how to photograph your subject for the best portrait results, for a successful portrait. Please keep in mind that a larger Drawing will show more detail.

Step 3: Proofs
Before I begin drawing the portrait, a digital image (JPG) of what the final portrait will look like will be sent to you via email for your approval. What I am looking for here is to make sure that the subjects is posed in a manor that you expect, remember I am looking for the correct pose, so do not be so concerned with the details in this digital image.

Step 4: Progress
I will send a progress shot of your drawing during its creation for your input and direction.

Step 5: Final
After completion of the portrait, I’ll e-mail a digital image of the final Drawing. At this time any changes in the portrait that you still require can be made. Once you are completely satisfied with the drawing your final payment will be required.

Step 6: Shipping
I ship world wide via FedEx and each Drawing is packaged with care to ensure its safe delivery. Each piece is insured for its full value. Shipping costs are calculated separately according to size and destination.

Gift Certificates are also available.

Please see Price List page for details.
