Portrait Photo Guidelines
Pencil Portraits by Carin         www.pencilportraitsbycarin.com
When selecting a photo for me use
please consider the following:

I can only draw what I can see. The clarity of your photo will directly
relate to the level of detail I can include in your portrait. If fine detail is
important to you, try to provide a photo in which the subject's head is
close to 2" in height and where the whites of the eyes are visible.

You may send your photo to me through the mail or via e-mail.

  • I will handle your photo with care and will return it with your
    completed portrait; however, loss can occur in the mail so
    please do not send irreplaceable photos.

  • When e-mailing digital photos, please send the highest
    resolution photo you have.

  • If you are scanning a photo to e-mail, please set the
    scanning resolution to 300dpi.

I must abide by copyright laws. If you want me to work from a
professional photograph, you must provide written permission from
the original photographer.
