You can send me either a digital or printed photo. The clearer and sharper the image, the better the portrait will turn out. Please try to send the original photo, not a photo of a photo, and make sure it’s the best quality you have.
You can send your photo as an attachment through my email. I will email you back to confirm your photo has been received
Yes, you can. I can use separate photos of people or pets and draw them together in one portrait.
If the photo has too much shadow it will be very difficult to create a well defined portrait likeness.
If the photo has too much contrast between light and dark it will diminish the details of the person face and make it impossible to do a great portrait.
A photo that shows the face clearly, even with the right amount of light and shadow can make for a terrific portrait.
A photo that shows the intricacies of the character and personality really makes all the difference to a portrait.
If you can't obtain a photo that is well defined I do use computer software to try to enhance the picture. However, the software's enhancement technology is limited, but I will try to use artistic license!
