Tips for Choosing a Photograph

  • The better the photo quality, the better the portrait. If the photo is out of focus, I will probably not be able to see enough detail. If you are unsure as to the quality of the photo, please send it to me and I will let you know if I can see enough detail.

  • The closer the subject's face is, the better the photo is for a portrait drawing.

  • The size of the original photo is unimportant since I can usually enlarge the photo to show enough detail.

  • All original photos will be returned with the finished portrait, but copies are preferred. The best option is to e-mail me a digital file.

  • Please understand I do not personally know the subject in the photograph, I can only draw what I see. Choose a photo that is as "true to life" as possible. Is that their smile? Do they look heavier/thinner in the photo? Do they normally wear their hair that way? The closer the person looks in the photo to "real life", the better the portrait will be.
