What Photo?

Find a good photograph for your pencil portrait drawing. When choosing your photo try and find a large photo for me to work from. I can draw good pencil portraits from small photos but the larger the original photo the more detail I can extract from it.

The key to a good pencil portrait is shading, and so a photo taken in natural light will get better results than a photo with the subject's face washed out by flash. See if you can find a photo where one side of the face is darker than the other, this will give the finished pencil portrait more depth. But as you can see from some of my example drawings, even a photo taken with a strong flash can be used to draw a great pencil portrait.

Choose a good picture where they really look like themselves. Don't use the one photo where they're not themselves. What I can see on the photograph is what I will draw.

After you've chosen the photograph you want, tell me what you want drawn from it. Do you want one person in the portrait drawing, or several people? Do you want just their face and shoulders, or would you like more of their body? I cannot guarantee I will draw exactly what you want without this information.

All photographs are returned to you along with your completed work-of-art. I aim to have all pencil portraits finished within 7 days of commission, but this may vary with demand.
