Working from Photographs

Photographs are the main reference source of my drawings.

For commissions I request a meeting with the client to review photographs or, if that is not possible, then I request 3-5 photographs of their choice. From these photographs I choose the image that is best suited for a drawing.

IMPORTANT: The quality of the photograph greatly dictates the amount of details I am able to see. The higher quality photo, the better the drawing will turn out.

Please, no Instagram-filtered images.
Each drawing will take roughly 4-6 weeks to complete, depending on complexity of the drawing, other commissions already in progress and possible unforeseen circumstances.
