Photographs
Good quality photographs are best. I need one good, clear photograph showing the eyes (most important). 
Excellent portraits can also be created from digital images. They must be high resolution (.tiff or.jpg format) supplied on a CD or emailed to me.
Size
Generally, the smallest size of a "head and shoulder" portrait I work with is 8" x 10". The size of the artwork may need to be larger, depending on the number of studies to be included in the artwork, the orientation of the subject and the subject matter. It is also much more difficult to show all the fine details when the subject is significantly reduced in size. Another reason for increasing the artwork size is the amount of subject matter to be included. Imagine 2 or 3 dogs crowded together on an 8"x 10" portrait. Again, important detail would be lost and the size of each subject is again drastically reduced. However, keep in mind that these are general guides and all portraits are geared to the chosen pose and your personal preferences. For simplicity, I have listed some common standard sizes below. However, I can draw your portrait any dimension you require.
Backgrounds:
I can add a "hint" of background to the artwork or create a more detailed one of your choice. Please keep in mind that generally, I prefer to keep the main subject as the center of attention.
