Portrait Quality Acknowledgement

Please note that the quality of the reference photo you provide has a direct impact on the level of detail I can achieve in your portrait.
To ensure the best possible result, your photo should be:
• Clear and high-resolution (you can test this by zooming in — if the image remains sharp and detailed while zoomed, it’s likely suitable)
• Taken close to the animal so finer details like fur texture and eye reflections are visible
• Ideally at eye level with the animal for accurate proportions and expression

While I will always do my best with the images provided, portraits created from low-quality or blurry photos may be declined or lack the finer detail and realism that my work is known for.
By proceeding, you acknowledge that the final artwork’s quality is influenced by the reference photo supplied, and that optimal results rely on providing a suitable image.

Portrait Care Instructions

Once your portrait is complete, it is coated in a fixative to protect it and to prevent the charcoal or graphite from smudging. This is not a perfect science unfortunately. So when your portrait arrives please handle with care and avoid touching the drawing. Framing your portrait as soon as possible is the best way to protect it. If you are doing this yourself I recommend securing it within the frame with tape to prevent any slipping.

I hope you enjoy your portrait for many years to come, and thank you for choosing me to immortalise your beloved pets.
