Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know which photo(s) to use?
The best photos are close up and clear enough so that I can zoom in on the finer details of the face, particularly the eyes, nose and mouth. It is more difficult to create a realistic portrait if these areas are blurry or pixelated, therefore there is an additional $25 fee if it is necessary to repair/restore a photo in order to create the drawing. If you are unsure if a photo is appropriate, please ask! Combining multiple photos to create one drawing will be an additional $25. Price includes my advice on which photo(s) will work best for your drawing. If you are emailing, please email in .jpg format.
How do I send the photos?
