How To Order
How do I order?
Visit the Custom Illustration Page and choose the type of painting you are interested in and purchase it.
Once your order is confirmed, please send your reference photo to hello@drawingdutchess.com and specify any modifications you would like to make. Please check the reference photo guidelines below.
Specify if you prefer your illustration in portrait or landscape format. If not specified I will make a decision on what I think works best for the sketch.
I will send you a photo of the first sketch to discuss potential edits. At this stage I can make any changes you need. Once you are happy with the design I will add watercolors and send a new photo (watermarked) to you for final approval, before shipping it out.
Reference Photo Guidelines
- For best results reference photo must be full length, standing and facing camera
- If the people in your reference photo are in a different positions, difficult angles or certain parts of the body are not visible in the photo, please email me first so I can determine if I can work with them.
- no selfies or close ups
- if you are sending multiple reference photos to combine in one illustration, please ensure photos are taken from the same angle and at least one person or pet is in both photos for height/size reference. If you are unsure, email your photos to me before placing your order so I can check if I can work with them
