PLEASE SELECT A QUESTION ON THE LEFT
I would like my horse/dog drawing, what do I do next?
Pick out the photo that you wish to be transformed. If you don't have one that you
are happy with, take some clear photos - remember the more detail you can get into
the photo, the better the picture can be! Supporting photos are always a good idea,
any extra detail can be obtained from these.
If you are unsure if they are good enough, please feel free to send me them, and
I will give you my honest opinion. On occasions I can take my own photos if necessary,
depending on your location.
Then drop me an email or give me a call, letting me know that a photo is on the
way. A 25% deposit is also required at this stage. (See cost details for further
information).
What medium are the pictures in?
I work in two different mediums - Graphite and charcoal. The horse's head above
is an example of the charcoal, and the Bernese Mountain dog is an example of the
graphite.
What style can I have?
Can I have more than one animal on one picture?
My question is - What style would you like? If you have any specific requirements,
feel free to let me know.
The standard pictures I do are:
- Portraits.
- Full body.
- Scenes.
- Compositions of several images, perhaps with a centrepiece.
- Separate heads, mounted separately in the same frame.

What kind of photos should I send in?
Good quality, clear photos are best. Size isn't as important as the clarity. If
you have a particular pose that you would like to have drawn, but you think the
photo isn't detailed enough, send in a few clearer photo's with it, to support the
main one. If I think that I can't do the picture justice, I'll let you know.
Don't forget that I can erase elements from the photo's that you don't want included
in the picture, e.g. Bridles and background. Any 'tidying up' of the picture can
sometimes be done, e.g. scruffy tails, muddy patches etc!

Can you arrange for notelets / writing paper / cards to be printed with my image
on them? How much will they cost?

This can be done for an extra charge. Please ask me for a quote, I'll need to know

Regrettably, my horse/dog is no longer with us.
The photos I have are not great. Can you still do a picture?
Feel free to send me the photos, and I will give you my opinion. I promise to do
my best to fulfill your request.
