Custom Charcoal Drawing

Charcoal Portraits/Landscapes

I accept requests for custom portraits, house drawings, and landscapes from a photo. My main sizes are: 9" x 12", 11" x 14" and 18" x 24" paper. If you need a custom size, feel free to ask and I'll try my best to accommodate you. 

How does the commission process work?

1. Contact me via my contact page or via email (bethmarieart@gmail.com). Feel free to send a message to discuss commission requests or if you have any questions.

2. Once we get in contact, I will ask you for the photo(s) you would like me to re-create as a drawing. I will make sure that the photo fits the aspect ratio that works with the paper. If not, I can usually crop or adjust it to fit. If not I will request different photos. 

3. I will give you a quote for your drawing. The amount depends on the size and complexity. If it is a portrait with more than one person that can increase cost as well.

4. I will start the sketching process. When the sketch is done, I will send an update. After that, depending on the complexity of the drawing, I will send 1-3 progress pictures. During the drawing process, I allow up to two revisions. Most drawings will take about 1-2 weeks to complete and 5-7 days for shipping. 

5. When the drawing is complete and the final photo is sent to the client, I ship it out. Shipping across the U.S is free, but international shipping is not. I either ship it flat or rolled up in a shipping tube. The method depends on the size of the drawing. I will send a tracking number when I ship it.
