FAQ
How long does a portrait take?
Most portraits take 1–3 weeks depending on size and the number of people included.
What references do you need?
Clear photos with good lighting. The better the photos, the better the portrait. Preferably looking directly at the camera, but I am also happy to draw from other angles if the reference photos are limited or not traditional portraits.
Do you work from multiple photos?
Yes. I usually work from a single reference photo for the final product, but more options often lead to better results.
Do you require a deposit?
Yes. A 50% deposit secures your spot in the queue and guarantees the time I will dedicate to the piece.
Do you offer revisions or adjustments?
I create each piece in my own style, and clients hire me for that specific approach. Because of this, I don’t include revisions or redraws in my standard rates.
If a project requires changes outside the original scope, I’m happy to discuss them — any additional work will simply be reflected in the updated budget
Do you take rushed orders or tight deadlines?
Yes — when my schedule allows, I can take on projects with accelerated timelines. Because rush work requires me to prioritize your project above others, an additional fee will apply.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes. Shipping costs vary by location. All portraits also come with a high-quality digital scan and a download link for a timelapse showing the entire drawing process.
Can you draw couples or families?
Absolutely. Additional people are priced according to your selected size.
Do you offer backgrounds?
Portraits are typically plain for a clean look. Background elements can be added on request (extra fee).
How do I pay?
I accept standard digital payment methods. Final payment is due before shipping or digital delivery.
