Artist's Guide Prices for Pencil Portraits

The following table acts as a guide only as every drawing is individual and it can be difficult to standardise specifications. I am therefore not bound by the following information.

The most popular choices are the head and shoulders (for humans and pets) and full body (mostly for pets) subject portraits on A3 sized paper. But, please, feel free to discuss other formats and differing requirements with me. I will add the subject’s name to your portrait if you so wish, at no extra cost.

To allow for framing a margin of approximately 2.5 cm / 1 inch will be left around the drawing. This margin may vary to accommodate squarer formats depending on the reference photographs provided. Those will be returned along with the drawing.

Where drawings cannot be delivered or collected in person they will be shipped with Royal Mail at customer's expense. In such instances A4 and A3 portraits will be carefully flat packed between two sheets of hardboard enclosed in a padded envelope. This is to prevent smudging and other damage to the drawing. For larger formats there is no other option but to ship them rolled up inside a tube.
