Frequently Asked Questions

  • What Animals do you do?

    I do pretty much every animal. I specialize and have experience in Horses, Dogs and Cats but would love to attempt to broaden my horizons. As always I can't guarantee I will be able to do your request but please do get in contact with me via my contact page and we can discuss requests there.

  • Do you draw People?

    Unfortunately I don't have the experience I would like to be able to draw people, so at this point no. However in the future this might change.

  • How much is postage and packaging?

    As detailed on the prices, postage and packaging is free in the United Kingdom. However, if you live outside the United Kingdom fees do apply.

  • Do I need a deposit?

    Yes. I require a 25% non refundable deposit to be able to book you in my diary. The rest is to be paid once the piece is complete. I will post the picture as soon as I have the final amount.

  • What payment methods do you accept?

    You can pay with visa debit or PayPal however I do not accept pay in installments.

  • What pencils do you use?

    I work with Faber Castell polychromos for my colour and Faber Castell drawing pencils for my graphite.

  • How long does it take for a commission to be complete?

    That depends on the size of the portrait and if it is in colour or not. If you need a portrait by a certain date just get in touch and I will let you know if I can meet the deadline.

  • Do you post outside the UK?

    I do! My drawings have gone as far as Spain so far. For orders outside the UK you will have to pay extra for postage but this will depend on where you are ordering from so let me know and we can discuss it together.

  • Can I collect in person?

    A lot of people don't like the idea of posting as they are scared of the picture being ruined, If you want to collect it you can I'm based in Hull UK.

  • Can you use photos from a photographer?

    As long as written permission has been given I can go ahead. The photographer will have copyright to that photo so with permission I would.

  • Will you share photos of my portrait online?

    Yes. I take pride in every piece of my work and love to show off! Its a way I can grow my business and attract new clients. If the drawing is done as a gift I would happily wait to post it until you are ready.
