About the work

A closer look.

You send one photo of a real person, and I draw the face, then tell you the one true thing in it. Not the flattering version. The specific detail that makes them them, and the line they would never say about themselves. I also name the lazy first read I started with and why it was wrong, so you can see the seeing, not just the drawing. What you get: one digital drawing (PNG) plus one written line, for the person in the photo. 4-day delivery, one revision included. Good for a birthday, an anniversary, a thank-you, or for yourself. Send one photo first and I will reply with one true thing I see, free, yours whether or not you order. If the photo does not show me a person, I say so and we stop there. Your photo stays yours. I do not publish, share or reuse the photo or the drawing unless you say so. Words you might have typed: portrait from photo, custom portrait, hand drawn portrait, personalized gift, gift portrait, birthday gift, anniversary gift, draw my photo, draw my friend, draw someone I love.
