What kind of photo do I need to provide for a charcoal portrait?
A clear, well‑lit photo with the subject’s face fully visible works best. High‑resolution images help the artist capture fine details and expression.
Can you combine multiple photos into one portrait?
Yes. Artists can merge separate photos into a single composition, adjust poses, or remove unwanted elements while keeping the final portrait natural.
How long does a charcoal portrait take to complete?
Most charcoal portraits take 5–10 days, depending on complexity, number of subjects, and current studio workload.
Do you offer revisions if I want changes?
Yes. Minor adjustments—such as softening features, refining shading, or removing background elements—can be made before final approval.
Can you draw pets, children, or group portraits?
Absolutely. Charcoal works beautifully for pets, children, couples, and multi‑subject family portraits.
Is the artwork hand‑drawn or digitally created?
Every portrait is 100% hand‑drawn by a professional charcoal artist using traditional materials.
Do you offer framing options?
Yes. You can choose from several frame styles, or order the artwork unframed if you prefer to frame it locally.
What sizes are available for charcoal portraits?
Common sizes include A4, A3, A2, and custom dimensions on request. Larger sizes allow for more detail and presence.
Can you remove backgrounds or unwanted objects from the photo?
Yes. Artists can simplify or completely remove backgrounds, distractions, or people you don’t want included.
How is the finished portrait delivered?
Finished artwork is shipped securely in protective packaging. Framed pieces are padded and boxed; unframed pieces are shipped flat or rolled depending on size.
