Layer by Layer: My Commission Process

The Process:

• Original Artistry: You receive a unique, highly detailed one-of-a-kind artwork created by hand with the utmost care and precision.

• Direct Communication: Enjoy a personalized experience working one-on-one with me from our first sketch to the final delivery.

• Progress Updates: Stay connected to the magic with regular photo updates via text or email, giving you the freedom to share feedback and request modifications if needed.

• Real Connection: Your artwork deserves an artist, not an automated prompt. I offer genuine human customer service and custom designs that can't be replicated by AI algorithms.

The Details:

• Premium Art Materials: Your piece is brought to life using top-tier Prismacolor and Faber-Castell pencils. We can dive into a world of rich, full color, or create a timeless graphite drawing highlighted by delicate color accents—whichever speaks to you!

• Archival-Quality Paper: I use premium, 70-pound acid-free drawing paper so your illustration remains as bright and perfect as the day it was finished.

• Ready to Frame: I purposely work in standard sizes so you can easily find a beautiful, budget-friendly frame right off the shelf—no expensive custom framing required!

  • 5x7” | Cozy and Intimate: This charming size is ideal for small spaces, desks, or gallery walls. When paired with standard matting, it fits perfectly into a sleek 8x10” frame.

  • 8x10” | The Fan Favorite: My most popular size! It makes a beautiful standalone piece or centerpiece. Add standard matting to effortlessly fit an 11x14” frame.

  • 11x14” | The Showstopper: Perfect for large spaces and creating a focal point in any room. Pair it with standard matting to showcase it beautifully in a 16x20” frame.

Payment:

• To officially save your spot on my calendar and get your illustration started, a 50% deposit is due upfront. The remaining 50% is due after your artwork is finished and you love the result!

• For your convenience, I accept payments via Zelle, Venmo, cash, or check. I'll provide the quick payment details as soon as we start our collaboration.

Timeframe:

Every custom illustration is brought to life with meticulous care, with timelines reflecting the size and unique complexity of your piece.
