Information & Pricing

Thank you for interest in a custom pet portrait. Whether this is intended for a loved one, a friend, or to celebrate your own pet this is going to be a permanent and beautiful memory of any animal companion. 

All drawings are created with premium graphite pencils on a white Crescent Art Board. Your art will be ready for you to have framed at your local frame store, with or without matting. Framing is highly recommended to prevent damage and excessive aging. 

I currently offer graphite pet portraits in three sizes: 9"x 12", 9"x 9", 6"x 6". 

My 6"x 6" portraits are reserved for small pets only. Small pets include any cat sized animal or smaller. I exclude all dogs regardless of breed.

In addition to graphite, I am currently offering a colored pencil option for 6"x 6" portraits. Please check back in the coming months for larger colored pencil options. 

The Process

To begin the process, please email me at corvid.illustration@gmail.com with you desired portrait size and medium. From there we will work together to choose a reference photo I will use to capture the most depth of your companion. The ideal photo will be bright and sharp with your companion in the center. 

I often share the progress of my art on my social media. If your portrait is intended as a gift, let me know and I will not post any content on your art until after it is given.

Your portrait will be completed in 4-6 weeks from a mutually agreed start date. Once completed, your art will be securely packaged for a safe journey to you. 


Pricing

My prices are as follows: 

9" x 12" - $300

9" x 9" - $225

6"x 6" Colored pencil - $175

All prices include shipping & package insurance in the US. Please inquire for shipping fees for orders outside the US. 

A 40% deposit is required before I begin work. The remaining 60% will be due upon completion of the portrait. If you book a portrait during a promotion, the portrait discount will be deducted from your second payment. 

Both payments will be requested via Paypal. The final portrait will not be shipped until all payments are fulfilled.

Thank you again for your interest in an original piece of custom art. 

We loved working with Carly! We worked with Carly on a illustration of our lovely dog, Rumble Thunderpaws. We sent Carly many different images and poses and Rumble and she put together an amazing portrait of Rumble, really capturing his personality and characteristic smile. Carly is very professional, passionate, and excellent at communicating and working with her clients. We love her portrait of Rumble and will definitely work again with her in the near future!
