1. Selection of photos

Take photos that show your pets or family members personality and character.

My expertise lies in the interpretation and reproduction of the characteristics and personality from the animal or human, in the photo. Therefore, they are extremely important for the process and you must choose your photos carefully.

The quality of the picture is very important for the quality of the portrait. The eyes should be clear to see. Also details, like fur structure, muscles and veins, should be seen clearly. They give the portrait a living and natural effect.

2. Contact

Send me your photos by mail or e-mail. Send developed photos by mail only. In your own interest it´s recommended to use copies. They can easily be made in every copy-shop.

Please don´t send digital pictures printed on paper. Let me get the pictures in high resolution by e-mail or on a CD as jpeg-file.

You get your master back when the artwork is finished. If the quality is insufficient, I send it back for free.

3. Size and drawing techniques (Colored, Black &White, Oil)

Please let me know the size and technique the portrait should be painted in. If you are uncertain, I may be able to advise you.
