How pricing works

Every commission is priced by what you'd like drawn, so there's no price list. Request a commission below about your idea and she'll reply with a quote.

There's no deposit and nothing to pay up front. You only pay once you've seen the finished piece and love it. If it isn't what you hoped for, you don't owe a thing.

A detailed drawing can take 40 to 200 hours. She'll send progress photos along the way if you'd like them.

How it works

  1. Send a request with a few good, clear photos.
  2. Cindy replies by email with a quote. Nothing is due yet.
  3. She draws your piece and sends you a photo of the finished artwork.
  4. Love it? Pay in full, or ask about a payment plan; the artwork is yours once it's paid off. Not quite right? You owe nothing.
  5. Pick it up locally or have it shipped anywhere in the U.S.

Questions people ask

What photos work best?

Clear, well-lit photos taken at eye level, where you can see the eyes and details. Daylight from a window is ideal. Several photos help, even if one is the main one.

Can you combine people or pets from different photos?

Yes. Send a photo of each, and say how you'd like them arranged. Adding more subjects adds to the price.

How long does it take?

A detailed drawing takes 40 to 200 hours, so plan on several weeks. If you need it by a certain date, say so in your request and Cindy will tell you if it's possible.

What if I don't love it?

Then you don't pay. There's no deposit, and you only pay once you've seen the finished piece.

Request a commission

Tell Cindy who or what you'd like drawn and attach your best photos. She'll reply by email with a quote. Nothing is due until you've seen the finished piece and love it.
