Valentine’s Day Portrait Commission (Pre-Order)

from £40.00

A hand-drawn portrait for someone you love, ordered in advance and ready for Valentine’s Day. Just 10 spots. For the gays, the theys and everyone in between.

Give someone a hand-drawn portrait made just for them. Whether it’s a partner, best friend, chosen family member, pet, or yourself, I’ll turn your photo into a one-of-a-kind piece to wrap, frame, or keep.

Only 10 spots available: 9 in A5/A4 and 1 in A3.

Sizes and prices (50% deposit shown at checkout)

  • A5: £80 (deposit £40)

  • A4: £150 (deposit £75)

  • A3 (1 spot only): £300 (deposit £150)

Extras
Add an extra person, an animal, or a detailed background for £25 each (£35 each on A3). Tell me what you’d like in the additional information box, and I’ll confirm the total with you before I start.

Optional add-on: the chosen name portrait
Include a chosen name within the portrait. It makes a lovely gift for a friend’s rebirth, a new chapter, or a name that’s finally their own. Let me know the name and how you’d like it written. I can draw it on clothing, at the top or bottom, or in the background. We can work out the best placement on a case-by-case basis.

Reference photos
The better the photos, the better the portrait. Please send:

  • Good-quality, well-lit photos (natural daylight is ideal) with the face(s) clear, sharp and in focus

  • More than one photo if you can. Different angles and expressions help me capture what makes someone them

  • Everyone visible and unblurred if there’s more than one person, pet or detail you’d like included

How it works

  1. Choose your size and pay the 50% deposit to secure your spot.

  2. Send me your reference photo(s) and any details you’d like included.

  3. Sign the contract

  4. I start work in January and will send you a progress photo.

  5. When it’s finished, I’ll invoice you for the remaining 50% (plus any extras), then post it to you.

Style
