Interested in a personalised piece of artwork?

With my commission service, you will receive a hyper-realistic, black-and-white charcoal drawing based on a reference photo of your choice.

If you are interested in working with me to create a personalised, unique piece of artwork, please read through the information below before enquiring.

How much will it cost?

Pricing varies depending on the size, the subject, and the complexity of the image. The exact dimensions can be tailored to your needs. The following prices act as a guide only:

  • Small: A4 (21x29.7cm) - Starting from $950

  • Medium: A3 (29.7x42cm) - Starting from $1500

  • Large: A2 (42x59.4cm) - Starting from $1900

  • Larger sizes are available upon request.

Please note: I may recommend and provide a quote for a larger size in order to ensure adequate detail is captured in the artwork. Extra large artworks require very high-quality reference photos. Prices are in NZD.

  • Picking a photo can be tricky, and sometimes the composition of a photo doesn’t translate well into a drawing.

    Typically, I like to create emphasis in my drawings by leaving a plain white background, and so the photo needs to allow for this. I will work with you to help choose the image I think will look best as a charcoal drawing, but please note that depending on the quality of your image, I may have to decline your commission.

    The best references photos are ones that are high quality (large files) and have naturally good lighting and high contrast. I can provide edits to your original image to make sure the final piece is as effective as possible.

  • Your artwork will be made with charcoal on white, acid-free, archival paper to ensure that the artwork stands the test of time. The artwork will also be sprayed with a fixative to ensure further protection.

  • The designing and drawing time will vary depending on the size and complexity and can take between 3-14 days. However, completion times may vary from weeks to months depending on the waitlist. I will provide a more accurate delivery time upon enquiry. Please note that shipping times will also vary depending on your country (artwork shipped from New Zealand).

  • Smaller artworks are covered with tissue paper, placed securely between two thin pieces of hardwood, and cushioned with bubble wrap and other packaging to ensure it reaches you undamaged.

    Larger artworks are similarly covered with tissue paper and rolled for delivery in a tube.

    Artworks are shipped via courier. Specific shipping preferences can be arranged.
