FAQs for Custom Portraits

Yes I do.
Portrait requirements - Once you have decided upon the type of portrait you would like please contact me with your requirements via my request form. Please also mention if you have any specific deadline date. Choose a clear photograph or photographs and send them to my email address on vbcrockford@gmail.com. My main rule of thumb is "the better the photo, the better the portrait. Once you are ready, purchase the custom portrait from here and I will begin on your drawing.
Once I have completed the portrait, I will email you a scanned and watermarked copy for your approval. At this stage I will be able to make any minor adjustments for you at your request. Once you have given final approval and the portrait has been scheduled for delivery, I will no longer be able to make any more changes.

A portrait of Size A4 - 1 person usually takes me around 2 weeks.
Bigger drawings of Size A3 can take me anywhere from 3 to 4 weeks, depending on how many people are in the drawing. If you need your portrait by a specific date, please contact me prior.
