Portrait drawings
What would be a greater gift for a friend or a family member than a portrait drawing of a pet, a person, a landscape, or whatever they adore. Or maybe your own home needs a wonderful art piece for a decoration! I draw according to your photo and wishes, with colored pencils or pastel pencils. You can also contact me for any kind of special drawing orders. I mostly use Faber Castell pencils, and I choose the best quality paper for each purpose.
My grandmother was also an artist. He painted portraits, landscapes and still lifes. I picked colored pencils and paper as my own preferred art medium, because I've been using them since I was a child. I went to art school and didn't care much about other subjects. My drawing skills have improved over the years and the equipments have changed to more professional ones. I have been drawing realistic portraits for about ten years.
Ordering
Contact me by using the contact information below, for example by sending a free-form email to lilla.draws@outlook.com. You can attach a reference photo and tell your wishes in terms of size and colors etc. If you are not sure about the preference photo, you can send several options and we can think about it together. A good reference photo is an original, high-quality, large picture taken in good lighting and with a good camera. The face of the person or a pet needs to be particularly clear. Screenshots or pictures taken with an old phone camera are usually of lower quality. The quality on the reference photo affects the final result of the drawing. The background of the photo does not matter, as I leave it out of the final drawing, unless you wish otherwise.
I usually respond to emails within one day. When we agree on the details of the future drawing, I will send you an invoice to your email. After receiving the payment, I'll start drawing. If you wish, you can get the invoice in two parts, in which case I will start drawing after receiving 50% of the price of the work. The drawings are done in order from the oldest to the newest, but usually within a month of payment. I can post progress pictures if you wish. I protect the finished drawing with fixative and pack it in plastic folder and a cardboard package. Shipping is included in the price of the drawing, and either Posti or Matkahuolto works as our transport service.
Prices
The price depends on the size of the drawing and the number of people or pets in it. The prices of all black-and-white and coloured pencil and pastel drawings are described below in a simple way. Special requests will add some extra cost. Those can be, for example, specific background, adding an object or text, or some other editing that differs from the reference photo. Shipping to Finland is included in the price! Shipping abroad costs extra and the amount depends on the country. For example shipping an A4-sized drawing to USA will be 10€ extra. We can check the current currency change from euros (€) to your currency together! Feel free to ask for more information if needed!
