How Commissioning an Illustration Works

Here’s everything I need from you to begin your custom home illustration:

1. Send Me Your Photos

  • Daytime photos work best (2-5 bright and clear photos)

  • The desired side of the building should be fully visible

  • Close-ups of details (brick, trim, landscaping) are helpful but optional

2. Choose Your Style & Size

  • Black & White or Full Color

  • The illustration size you want (ex: 12”x9”, 14”x11”, 17”x14”)

3. Tell Me Any Important Details

  • Include anything you want emphasized, like doors, or removed, like trees.

4. Receive Your Quote

  • Once I have your info and photos, I’ll send you a price based on size, style, and complexity.

5. Pay the Deposit

  • For all commissions, I require half up front and half at completion. Once the deposit is paid, I begin work. I’ll update you as needed while I draw. When finished, I’ll send a photo for approval before delivery or pickup. Each illustration comes with a Certificate of Authenticity and a hand-written note from me!
