Inspiration

I have designed the commission process to be as easy as possible whilst offering you the chance to get the drawing exactly how you want it. While I do offer my guidance and recommendations, the choice is ultimately yours how your final drawing will look.

These are some examples of what other clients have achieved, from classic portrait shots to unique group shots, as well as a popular montage style. Each has a description which also highlights adjustments that can be made.

Single portrait ...

The classic portrait shot is to draw a head and partial chest portrait, where the subject is looking at, or just past, the camera. Of course, you can always get creative with your shots, taking photos of your subject unaware or in a unique position.

Montage portrait ...

This includes a small full-body shot underneath a larger head and chest portrait above. The more photos provided will offer more choices of combinations. Photo selection is limited to what I think will work as a drawing, but again, I will offer my recommendations for you to choose from.
Sometimes, side by side rather than top and bottom works best
Two lovely poses work well together

Group shots ...

Subjects can be drawn together on the same drawing, either as full body shots, or as head and chest portraits. They can be together on the same photo, or seperate photos can be used, provided they are of a similar perspective. In the latter case, the more photos provided, the better. It is of course not limited to just two subjects!
