How to request a drawing/Prices.

PROCEDURES FOR AN IMPORTANT REQUEST

Being a thorough job, a complete drawing takes several days to complete. It must be scheduled and some attention on choosing the photo needs to be taken for the best results and quality.

Select one or more photos (person or pet) that you would want to request as graphite pencil drawing. Keep in mind that the final result is DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE PHOTO'S QUALITY. The more details seeing on the face in the picture, the better will be the result. The eye's expression and the overall brightness (strong contrast) are good choosing parameters, as well as the focus. The ideal size for the best quality in the drawing is a that the face to be drawn has at least 2.5 inches (6 cm) from the tip of the chin to the top of the head. When contacting me, please show the chosen photos via email or here on this blog and we can discuss the overall quality of them.

The final price will depend on several points: the degree of difficulty, size and details, background, hair type (long, curly, etc). If the drawing shows: hand or hands showing, teeth, glasses, beard, mustache, detailed clothing, jewels. The number of people contained within a single design will also affect the final price.

With the price set, 50% of the total value must be deposited right after the job is scheduled.

SIZE

The basic size standard is 12 inchesX16 inches (paper size). Any different size will alter the final price of the drawing.

The work will be completed in a few days. A second appointment may be set if you would like a first look at the drawing prior to approval. The remainder of the value must the be deposited with shipping included, or, if you live in the Atlanta area, we can deliver it for free. The original photo(s) will be returned along with the completed work.

OPTIONAL
The drawing may be framed prior to delivering. Frames will be carefully chosen by me. The drawing will be protected against fungi and behind anti-reflective glass with high quality transparency. There is an additional charge for this service.

BASE PRICE
The face of 1 (one) person in standard size.

On average it takes 3-4 days(30-40 hours) to make a drawing. The average cost is around $600.00 for the complete work. Because I'm new in Atlanta, I will be offering a fair and excellent discount.

The standard drawing, (one face, in a12 inX16 sheet) is now around $250.00.

Attention: this price is for a limited time.

Note: PRIVATE DRAWING CLASSES AVAILABLE. Please contact for details.

FULL COURSE
Four classes, one per week lasting three hours each class.

MATERIAL
You will not need to buy anything! The course fee includes all the imported materials needed for the course.

The course is limited to a maximum of two students per course.

Discounted prices for more than one student at the same time.

FINAL NOTE

Differently from what many people think, to do this style of drawing does not require a gift or experience in drawing., You just need to enjoy drawing and practice really hard. It is only a matter of practicing and understanding how a drawing is put together.

I have no magic formula for drawing. To think one will be a great artist just by completing my course is a big misunderstanding! Such fast results would be a miracle, and I DO NOT PROMISE MIRACLES! What I know by experience is: without dedication and/or information, nothing, but absolutely NOTHING happens!

I can only guarantee with great certainty that my students will get great results with dedication and discipline. If the student really likes drawing and want to learn how to draw with graphite pencil, I will be more than happy to teach what I know! All I ask is dedication, discipline and attention.
