If you wish to commission a portrait of your pet, please send me a good, clear reference photo. It is really important to have a good picture, as the quality of the portrait will be dependent on your photos. Unfortunately, I don't know your pets personally so this means that I can only draw what I can see.

Use a good digital camera - not a mobile phone, as the pictures taken on these will not be clear enough. Take the photos outside on a nice bright day. Ideally, I need clear, detailed, close-up shot of your pet. Get as close as you can,  filling the view finder with your pet. Also, try and get down to their level - if your pet is looking up at you, features will probably get distorted (giant nose etc!)

I want to draw/paint your pet the way you like him or her best so a photo showing your favourite pose is ideal.

Here's a good example:
