Frequently Asked Questions
- Portraiture
Do you offer custom sized Portraits?
Yes we do! We only show our core sizes, otherwise we would have too many options displayed. Just send us your details and we shall send you a quote.
Do you only do drawings?
No, we can do paintings as well. Just scroll through our Portraiture Gallery to see examples of painted portraits.
How long does a Portrait take to finish?
The Short Answer: The average time from placing an order to delivery of your precious artwork is around 2 weeks. Special ‘urgent’ requests are sometimes shorter depending on my workload or if I have backorders.
I’ll provide an estimated timeline and keep you informed of the progress.
The Long Answer: Depending on the size, and the amount of detail required – a Portrait can take anywhere between 2 hours and 100 hours. It is like the old saying “how long is a piece of string”.
*2 hours would be a Portrait ‘headshot only’ A5 size
*100 hours would be a large custom order with multiple people and a background.
The koala (titled: Rare Breed) is my longest drawing to date – 40 hours.
Do your pencil Portraits smudge?
Our pencil Portraits do not smudge. We use fixative on all our drawings which binds the graphite to the paper.
All drawings are on non-yellowing, acid-free archival-quality paper.
*Due to the delicate nature of paper, we recommend all drawings be professionally framed for the lifetime protection of your beloved Portrait.
What kind of photos should I provide for a Portrait?
Clear, high-quality photos with good lighting are ideal for capturing unique features of you / the sitter. Photos that show your eyes clearly, or capture expressions work best, allowing me to create an accurate and heartfelt representation of you / the sitter.
