Drawings from Photos by Dave Nevue

All portraits are hand draw from photographs so I will need a variety of clear high-resolution pictures of your child or pet.

I will work from one photo for the main pose but I require other images to get a better idea of the subject’s features.

I recommended having a professional photographer to take the image or having the image taking with a digital camera.

It is easy and convenient to take pictures with smartphones and I do it often, but the quality of a smartphone image will not produce images I can work with. Many times I will enlarge the image on the computer so I can see all of the details.

If you decide to take the photo, I recommend taking the photos outside in natural lights or in a well light room with a lot of natural light.

Try to take the image at eye level of your child or pet.

Email me the images prior to ordering a commissioned portrait and I will let you know if I can work with them or if I will need different photos.

Portrait Size

All portraits are drawn on an 8 x 10 Bristol Board (Bristol Board is a thick paper)

The drawing will come with a matte frame and will be installed for protection.

Ordering a Portrait Drawing

I will only accept one commissioned job at a time.

If this listing is unavailable that means I am working on a commissioned drawing and the listing will be available once I have completed the job.

You can contact me for information on when I will be excepting new jobs.

After you have emailed me the photos and I have confirmed with you that the images will work you go forward and pay a 20% deposit to begin the portrait.

The total price for an 8 x 10 portrait drawing with the frame is $750.00.

A $150.00 deposit is required to start the drawing.

I will email you a scan of the drawing after it is complete.

If you are satisfied I will mail your framed drawing using US Priority Mail after the remaining balance of $600.00 has cleared via PayPal.

After the drawing is shipped I will provide you with tracking for your postage.

Shipping is free in the USA.

Canada and UK orders will be charged an additional $45.00 for shipping.

Each portrait takes many hours to complete and can take up to 12-16 weeks depending on the details of the subject.

If there is a special date you would like the portrait for (birthday, anniversary, etc.) please let me know and I will inform you if I will be able to complete the portrait in time.
