A3 Custom Portrait Drawing, Portrait From Photo, Boyfriend Portrait, Coloured Pencil Mum Portrait, Custom Artwork, Parent Portraits

from $280.00
PERFECT GIFT!
Are you looking for a gift for a loved one? Or you want to get something really unique and original for your parents, work colleague or best friend?
Let me tell you about my custom hand-made portraits! You will get a lovely and unique realistic hand-drawn artwork drawn from your photos using coloured pencils.

I will draw a beautiful, realistic portrait of SOMEONE SPECIAL in coloured pencils on lovely thick paper, and coat it with a light spray varnish. I need good photos for this, so grab your camera and take some gorgeous shots, or dig up those old favourites that disappeared deep in your phone.


HOW TO ORDER?
Send me your best photos via Etsy or email paintedbeak@outlook.com. Tell me which option you want, and when you want it by.


WHEN CAN I GET IT?
Each custom drawing takes 1 week.
I work on one drawing at a time, in the order they are paid.
Please allow time for postage from Wollongong, Australia.

HOW IS IT MADE?
1. I'll edit the image in photoshop if required.
2. Image proportions are transferred onto the drawing paper using a lightbox and lead pencil.
3. Major colour sections are applied with a light watercolour wash.
4. Once dry, lead pencil lines are erased.
6. Coloured pencil layers are applied lightly, and blended with solvent, a brush and a blending stump, then allowed to dry.
7. More layers are added until the perfect colour is achieved.
8. Final textures are applied and burnished.
9. A high-quality photo is taken (Nikon D3500 18-55mm), which I can send to you.
9. 1-3 coats of gloss spray varnish are applied lightly to seal the surface of the paper, ensuring the colours remain vibrant over time, and nothing is smudged or dulled in transit :)
10. Then I will pack it flat with lightweight foamcore board and cellophane wrap to keep it protected for direct post or hand-delivery and you get to keep it! :)


SPECIFICATIONS
SIZE: Each drawing is drawn on A3 paper: 297 x 420mm / 11.7 x 16.5 inch
