There are some things that a drawing can do that a photograph can't.

The family on the right took a number of photographs of this creative pose. And some of the family members preferred their appearance in one of the other shots. So three of the faces in this drawing were drawn using a different photograph as reference.

Custom Requests Are More Than Welcome

•  Portraits usually measure about 10 inches by 12 inches, including the background.
    But the reference photo dictates the actual size and shape of a portrait.
•  Pets are usually drawn approximately the same size as human subjects. But a     small breed might look unnatural drawn at such an oversize. In that case I might     draw the whole pet, rather than just his head.
•  Individuals are usually drawn smaller in large group portraits
•  I'll draw your portrait larger or smaller, or include more of the subject's body as you     request and we will negotiate a custom price.

The reference photographs shown below were used to draw the combined portrait of the family on the left. The older son wanted his hair drawn longer; the daughter wanted her hair drawn darker; and the younger son was deceased.
