The Creative Process

Something I value highly is the communication and trust I share with my clients. When you commission a piece from me I make it my mission to make you feel like you're being listened to and kept involved throughout the entire process. I therefore find having clearly-defined stages for this process starts us both off on the same page.

The process for
Digital Commissions

Step 1: We will chat about what kind of portrait you are looking for including drawing style, colour scheme, estimated time to complete work.
​
Step 2: You can send me 3 digital, well-lit, non-blurry photos of the subject for me to then choose between.
​
Step 3: A third of the total fee is paid upfront before I start drawing. (This fee is non-refundable).
​
Step 4: I will send (low-res/watermarked) updates of the portrait as I go.
​
Step 5: I will send the finished, low-res, watermarked artwork for your approval.
​
Step 6: Small edits will be implemented from feedback (large adjustments will need to be voiced during Step 4).
​
Step 7: After a max of 3 revisions I will send the completed artwork through (again watermarked and low-res).
​
Step 8: The remainder of the fee is paid.
​
Step 9: I will send through the final full-resolution digital file for you to enjoy!

Optional add-on: I can also screen-record the drawing process and provide a timelapse set to special song of your choosing
 for an extra £20. In this way you are able to see how your piece of art came to life!
NB. this will have to be decided upon at Stage 2.
