3. Choose a good reference photo.
This photo is adorable but it has a few issues. The cat is in shadows due to the backlighting. There is a lack of contrast in the subject, and too much in the background. Also, the subject is mostly out of focus. It would not translate well to a drawing or painting.
This photo is a good reference for many reasons! The lighting provides clear details of the subject and some nice contrast. The cat is in focus and the background is simple. Finally, the pose is engaging which would make for a wonderful painting or drawing.
4. Review our Commission Agreement.
To make sure we are on the same page when working together, we will have you sign the below agreement when your commission is accepted by the artist. Both the Artist and Purchaser will have a copy to reference. Changes can be made, but no changes will be made to agreement without those changes made in writing with signatures from both the Artist and Purchaser. Thank you!
