I offer a custom pencil drawing of your photograph. You need to send me a good picture that is in focus. I can draw from a damaged or blurry picture, but I will only be guessing on what goes in the missing spaces.
The better the picture, the better my drawing will be.
Send me an email on my Contact page and tell me about your picture and tell me exactly what you are looking for. (A smooth drawing, a rough pencil sketch or something in between.) Next, send me your picture via email or postal mail and I'll email you an invoice. My rates are as follows:
4" x 6" $50
5" x 7" $70
8" x 10" $90
11" X 14" $120
All of my drawings are sprayed with Krylon Matte Finish Spray, (unless you specify otherwise). Finishing spray will protect your drawing from smudging and smearing. It will also help keep the graphite in darker areas from reflecting light and give the drawing an even finish. I also like a finishing spray because it helps to keep the paper from yellowing over time and it blocks acid from our skin.
I offer a ballpark estimate of 1-2 weeks for smaller drawings and 2-3 weeks for larger ones, could be sooner; however, I will communicate with you and please let me know ahead of time if there is a deadline, (wedding, graduation, anniversary, birthday, holiday).
As far as payment goes, I accept cash, personal checks, money orders and PayPal.
I ship Priority Mail via the USPS, which is $5.00 unless you prefer another method. If you require overnight mail, that will of course cost extra. Drawings can be mailed in either a mailing tube or in a, "Do Not Bend," flat envelope, your choice; however, a tube is safer but a little more expensive. ($8.50)
For now, I am only doing pencil drawings. I will do an ink drawing but they take more time and if you want, email me and we can discuss it. I also can do colored pencil drawings but they take more time.
