Description

The listing, Focused Portrait (in similar style) from Picture / a few Questions about Focus has ended.

I'm offering to sketch a B&W portrait / portion of a portrait in like style from a photograph & an understanding of what the picture should convey.

Although I have a long history in performing arts, graphic design, web design, etc. I've never sketched for anyone but myself (& seem to have developed a portrait /expression niche & a style with a specifically accentuated focus - by exaggeration &/or omission).

Therefore, I'm starting the bid & GIN lower than I will in the future.

I do sign my pictures & keep rights to produce copies, but you would receive the original. No R-Rated / X-Rated requests will be accepted. I reserve the right to refund if the request is not appropriate *for me* (no judgment ; ) - I just have to be comfortable enough to sit with it & draw it for hours ; )). If there are any potentially controversial leanings, or anti-religious messages (I believe in God) - please message me about the content *before* you bid. I'm not into judging anyone, but I need to be comfortable enough with the material that my personal feelings don't compromise the work.

I usually spend about 5 hours on each drawing, so I can't offer a full money-back guarantee; however,

With a bid of 30,000 credits, I can send you work-in-progress (1-2 hours) & accept reasonable changes in direction;

With the GIN, I can offer the above PLUS a 50% refund if at 3-4 hours you are not satisfied with my work.

That said, as you can tell, I do have my own style & will not refund for staying close to my style (there's only so much I can do about that ; ) lol )

I will do my best to work with you - as I really like to exceed expectation! ; )

All Listia rules apply.

The finished picture will be available by email & mail.
Questions & Comments
Original
PS - A very nice person just asked me about the size of the finished product. This is essentially how I answered ; ) ...

I wasn't sure how to address size. I usually work on 14" x 17" (35.6 x 43.2 cm) drawing paper (Acid free; Heavy weight; Medium surface) --- but often use a grid to set up my proportions. Therefore - to some extent - the finished size is dictated by the proportions in the photograph (ratio of length-to-width, not exact size ; )).

It never hurts to have more than one picture, or the main picture & a video-clip. It helps me to get a better idea of the person I'm drawing ; )

Although I've done a lot of graphic / web design for people, this is the first time I'm sketching for anyone besides myself / family - so I think you'll find I'm pretty flexible ; )

I'm just excited to do this! ; )
