Custom Portraits
Below are examples of custom portraits I've done for clients. I have included the photo that was submitted and the completed drawing for comparison. As you can see, certain changes can be requested, such as changing the background, adding or removing tack, straightening ears or tails, etc.  I like to include a lot of detail in my work, so when ordering a portrait include several photos if possible.

How To Order Your Custom Portraits:

 Choose from the list of sizes you would like your portrait to be, and whether you want black and white (pencil), or color (color pencil/pastel). 
You will need to supply 2-4 clear, well-focused photographs of the subject(s) being drawn.  The photos will be returned.  You may e-mail or regular mail the photos to me.  Please indicate if you would like a simple, shaded type of background, or an elaborate background (such as trees, barn, etc).  If ordering a drawing of your horse(s), indicate if you want the horse(s) drawn with or without tack. Portraits are sprayed with a fixative to prevent smudges, then rolled and mailed in a tube.  It is recommended that you not open the artwork until you are ready for framing.  Always frame with glass and not plastic, as plastic has static and will lift the graphite or pastel onto it.

It usually only takes me 2 - 4 days to complete an order once received, but sometimes life can get hectic, so please allow up to four weeks for completion of your order. However, if you need the drawing by a certain date, such as a birthday, anniversary, or holiday, please let me know ahead of time so I can schedule accordingly.

Thank you,
D.
