Frequently Asked Questions

How would you draw my pet?
I work from photos, taken by the pet owner or me.  I require that the images of the pet are at least a 4 by 6” print, showing full body or just the head of the pet being drawn.  Because of the minute detail found in cats and smaller animals, I need to be able to see the animal close-up to render those details.  Digital camera photos must be taken with a camera, not with a phone.  For more photo requirements, please click here.

What materials do you use to draw with?
I use colored pencils and textured paper to draw on.  I use Berol Prismacolor pencils and Faber-Castell pencils.  The reason I use textured paper is that the texture allows for many layers of colored pencil to be laid down without becoming glossy.

How much do you charge?
My pricing is comparable to many other artists who do the same kind of work.  I do not charge by the number of pets in a photo;  I  charge by the size of the drawing.  All pricing includes a mat.  For more details about my pricing, please click here.

How long does it take to complete a drawing?
Normally, it takes two weeks to complete a drawing.  It is usually less. 
But as we all know, things can happen and get interrupted.

Do I have to meet you to receive my finished drawing?
No.  I can package it up and send it out, shipping will be figured into the pricing.  I always buy insurance on the package in case of damaging in the mail.  If you want to meet locally to pick up your drawing, arrangements can be made to do so.
