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”)
Frame or No Frame
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 most 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!
