Othervise feel free to reach out with any questions—I’m happy to discuss everything without any pressure or commitment.

THE PROCESS OF CREATING CUSTOM DRAWING
This is how it works:
Select the Size & Number of figures/head shot, click Add to Chart to place an order.
Prices are set for drawing head shot only(portrait). If you’d like to include under-chest or full-body drawings, kindly consider adding an additional subject to the total count.
For under chest 2 objects
For full-body drawing 3 objects. Thank you.
Combining faces from multiple pictures can be done at no extra cost. Simply select the total number of subjects when making your purchase.
No background included. Please note that backgrounds or any additional objects also count as subjects. Therefore, if you wish to include them, please adjust the total subject count accordingly.

If you need it urgently, please consider purchasing the “ADD-ON” item to prioritize your order. This will allow me to expedite the process by taking it ahead of the queue, working on it in my free time, and completing it within 2-3 days and ship it with DHL so shipping will take only 3-6 days (for prioritize your order please contact me and I will send you link.)
You will then be guided through the ordering process, following which you will be notified that your order has been placed.
Send me a photo (or several photographs) to emal PassionDrawingByApril@gmail.com. For the best quality possible, I recommend you utilize high-resolution photographs. A photo of good quality is very important for the best possible portrait! The best is close-up with good lighting, contrast, and resolution. The better the photo is, the better the drawing will be.
A quality picture guarantees a quality portrait.
I will complete your drawing in one week or more, depends on the que I have. Once the portrait is ready, I will send you a digital photo to inspect the portrait and approve it. If you want to add or change something, I would be happy to do it at that time. After your final approval, I will apply the fixator, package the drawing professionally, and send it by mail.
You will receive shipping notifications after the item has been shipped.
I recommend that you focus on your face so that I can draw the maximum possible details. If you want me to draw the whole body, then I suggest you choose a bigger size.

More about my pencil portraits work procees
As an artist dedicated to creating your perfect custom pencil portrait, I understand the excitement of seeing your unique custom drawing come to life. However, I often hesitate to send in-progress photos, as the intermediate stages can sometimes be misleading and may not fully reflect the final depth and polish of the artwork.
Your Vision, My Progress
Your peace of mind is paramount. Should you wish to check on the progress of your commissioned piece, I am always available and would be delighted to provide an update on which phase of the drawing process I am currently working on. Whether I am focusing on initial line work, layering shadows, or detailing facial features, I will gladly keep you informed of the evolving artwork.
Final Review and Refinement
Rest assured, as I near the completion of your custom pencil portrait, I will send you a high-resolution image of the finished piece. This is your opportunity to review the artwork. I wholeheartedly welcome any feedback or minor adjustments you may desire to ensure the final result perfectly captures the essence of your subject.
Final Touches and Secure Delivery
Once you are completely satisfied with your finished custom drawing, I meticulously apply a professional fixative spray to protect the integrity and longevity of the pencil work. The portrait is then carefully and securely packaged, ready to be dispatched directly to your address, concluding the journey from photo to cherished, heirloom artwork.
