Step 2: Reference and Inspiration

I can work with a variety of reference material and use it as inspiration to create a 100% custom pet caricature of portrait for you! My art is not a direct copy of your photo, I sketch by hand from scratch every time, using my knowledge of animal anatomy and your feedback to craft a true representation of your pet!

Don't spend too much time trying to get the "perfect shot"! Facebook photos, camera phone snaps or old family portraits will do the trick- with your help, I can work from just about any reference!




Step 3: The Sketch
Your feedback is critical to getting the look of your caricature or portrait just right! The sketch is the first step to making sure the artwork is going to look the way you want. Though, understand that the sketch may be RUFF! Here are some examples of the sketch stage, so you can get an idea for my process.

Please suggest major changes at this stage, as later in the process there will be extra revision fees for large changes that require a rework of the painting.

Step 4: The Painting

I will finish the painting, based on your revisions. Please allow 2-4 weeks, or longer, for completion of the painting, depending on my current queue of clients. If you would like a couple final touch-ups, let me know and I will adjust the painting for you! If you like the painting, great! I will prepare to send the final artwork to your desired address.

Step 5: Delivery
Depending on the country of origin or time of year, please allow at least 1-2 weeks for shipping. Canvas portraits may take 2-4 weeks. Hand delivery or direct pickup is not available, all custom artwork is shipped directly to the customer. I make every endeavour to ensure shipping is as inexpensive and fast as possible, without any loss of quality to the end product. Frequently, I will research options for international (outside the US) customers in order to get them the lowest rates for shipping!
