DIGITAL DOWNLOADS** are by far the more affordable, quickest, and easiest source for having custom art in your home. The care I take in creating your digital portraits is the exact same care I provide for the “physical” ones. I draw each one on a specialized tablet with a state of the art stylus that responds to over 2,000 levels of pressure.
COMMISSIONS: I accept commissions based upon my schedule, time of year, the size of the proposed piece, the medium ( paint, pen & ink, digital ) and the amount of work already in studio. Occasionally, in special situations my arm can be twisted and I’ll allow a new project in. I hate to disappoint and hate to be disappointed. I rarely turn anyone away.
FEES: Commissions are really based on the literal size of the piece, how many subjects ( people, pets etc… ) and the medium used. With commissions it’s best to have a reasonable amount of communication between artist and client. It protects both you and I – and your investment! First and foremost I want you to be happy with the work. Send an email! mfdewittstudios@gmail.com
FLAT FEES: I use these for smaller black and white pieces and digital downloads. Results in nice individual work for a reasonable price, particularly in the case of digital artwork! The turnaround is quick and some begin at $10.00! (Comic Strip and Editorial Cartoons) I also provide, free of charge, a short video of me drawing your digital portrait, so you know that I and not a free App produced your portrait. I wish more artists provided this.
PERSONAL USE VS. MEDIA USE: ( only on Comic Strip and Editorial Cartoons ) Now to explain a difficult-to-explain topic. I’m selling the use of my artwork. The prices are based on the commercial and non-commercial uses of my artwork by the purchaser.
Private Use: ( non-commercial ) Use as a display of art. No resale of the work or use of the work in something you make to be sold or used in selling or marketing anything.
*MOST IMPORTANTLY* – My portraits are only as good as the quality of the pictures you give me to draw from. Natural lighting is best. Closeups are great.
** A 300dpi file able to be enlarged to 16″x20″ ( better at 11″x14″) will be sent to your provided email address, along with your receipt and invoice for your records and a expressed permission from me for printing ( some printers, online and not, prefer to have permission for reprint from the artist.) It’s a ” Just in case ” measure. I’d hate for you to get somewhere and be unable to take a print home or use my work in your media!
