About this collection
When you send a photo, I do not just trace it. I use Procreate to layer light and color, focusing on the expression that makes your loved one unique. For a single portrait, this process usually takes 4 to 6 days to get the brushwork and shading just right before I send you the high-resolution digital file.
Whether you want a classic painterly feel or a clean, modern line sketch, I approach each piece as a unique creation. My digital oil style uses textured brushwork to give your photo the depth of a canvas, perfect for printing up to A2 size. If you prefer something minimalist, my digital charcoal-style line art offers a high-contrast, elegant look that works beautifully as a framed gift.
For physical gifts, I handle the printing and framing on A3 textured matte paper, delivering it to your doorstep. If you just need the digital file for a quick birthday surprise, I can deliver that within 2 to 3 days for line art or 4 to 6 days for detailed paintings. Simply share a high-quality reference photo, and we can discuss the best style to match the personality of the person you want to celebrate.
Frequently Asked Questions
What photo works best? A clear, high-resolution photo with good lighting is best. For couple portraits, I can merge two separate photos if you do not have one together.
How do I receive the artwork? For soft copies, I email you high-resolution JPEG and PNG files (300 DPI) that are ready to print. For physical orders, I use textured matte paper and synthetic wood frames, delivering the final piece directly to you.
Can I ask for changes? Yes, I include one round of revisions with every commission to ensure the likeness and colors are exactly how you want them.
