Portraits are available in several standard picture frame sizes. This allows you to use a store-bought frame or to pay someone to have it custom framed, depending on your budget.How many subjects can be included in one portrait?
1-2 subjects, depending on the portrait size. For details, please visit the prices section.How do you create portraits with multiple subjects?
I use design software to combine the reference photos, creating a rough draft of the layout I intend to use. After the client approves the rough draft, I transfer the layout to my drawing surface.Can you make a portrait of any animal?
Yes, I accept commissions for all kinds of wild and domestic animals.Are my reference photos good enough?
I require high-resolution photos with lots of detail and good lighting. To achieve a high degree of realism, I often combine the best elements from several photographs. I will let you know if your reference photos are not suitable, so better ones can be taken.How can I take better photos?
If possible, take your photos outside with the sun behind you. Get on eye level with the subject and use a treat or toy to get their attention. You may find it helpful to have a friend assist you. Don't worry about the background, as I will remove it when I begin working on your portrait.Can I use someone else's photo?
Yes, but only if the photographer gave you written permission to use it, or if the image was found on a copyright-free website, such as Pixabay or Unsplash.Are your images and artwork copyrighted?

No, my portraits are not framed. This allows them to be handled safely during shipping.What kind of frame would you recommend?
I would recommend an acid-free matted frame, one that is a size larger than the actual portrait. For example, an 8"x10" portrait will fit nicely into an 11"x14" matted frame. Remember to hang it away from direct sunlight, in a cool and dry indoor location to prevent damage.
