Commissions
Sketches and paintings of the pets, people and places you love
How it works
The commission process starts with reference photos. I will have you send around 3-5 photos you love that I can choose from and refer to as I sketch.
We’ll discuss scheduling and stylistic elements, and I will process a downpayment of 50% then I will begin. Then I’ll send a progress photo when I’m nearly done for your approval. And then upon finalization, we can process the rest of the payment, and I'll ship it out.
Here are tips for getting reference photos:
Lots of indirect light
An eye-level angle
Around a foot or two away
Rule of thumb: the head should be at least a quarter to a third of the photo
And here are examples of reference photo angels and light ideas:
