ordering tips
Choosing the right photo(s) is the hardest part about ordering a custom piece.
Here are some important things to consider when choosing photos:
-
Quality of the photo is important. The more detail I can see, the more I can draw.
-
Try to avoid 'screenshots' as they tend to lack detail.
-
Fine detail is next to impossible to pull from a blurry photo.
-
Although scanned versions of hard copies are preferred, taking a picture of the photograph with a high quality camera / phone is often usable if glare can be avoided.
When ordering a group portrait, subjects can be drawn together using separate photos of each subject. We can work together on a preferred layout or style during the ordering process.
I understand that sometimes photos of loved ones who have passed may be either impossible to find as high quality, or may not exist. I've worked with many photos in poor condition and had great success. When in doubt about the quality of a photo, please do not hesitate to contact me.
