How to order a drawing of your pet.
Commissioning a pen drawing of your pet is a straightforward process. Please get in touch with Naomi via call or email to discuss your ideas and the desired size for your custom art piece. You can choose whether you'd like a detailed portrait of your pet's head only or the entire body.
Make sure to send your best photos of the animal to Naomi. While she will primarily use one main photograph as a reference for the pen drawing, having a variety of large, sharp, and clear photos will greatly enhance the final result. Remember, the quality of the photos directly influences the quality of the end product. So, provide the best images you have for the most impressive pen drawing of your beloved pet.
