When I work from your photos, the quality of the photos you send me is crucial to the accuracy and quality of the finished portrait.

Some tips to keep in mind:

1. Get as CLOSE as possible without blurring the image.
2. Focus on your pet's FACE and head (unless you want a whole body drawing).
3. Take the photos OUTDOORS in good natural light (a bright overcast day works best).
4. The best view of your pet is usually THREE-QUARTERS.
5. Try to keep the background LIGHT or uncomplicated.
6. Take photos from SEVERAL ANGLES or different poses
7. I can work only with what I see, if you have a particular expression, ear set etc. that you want in the portrait be sure that it is in the photos.
8. If possible send a selection of photos and indicate your favorite, this helps me get a "feel" for your pet.
9. I take very good care of your photos and always return them with your potrait.
10. Film or digital? If your photos are taken with a film cameras please send the actual photos. If taken with a digital camera please send .jpg files at the largest size/dpi you have.
