How to order your portrait
Choose your ideal photos
When choosing the ideal photos you should consider a few things, the main things is that you can see facial details clearly. Now these don’t need to be professional quality because who has that, most smartphones have a pretty outstanding camera today so phone pictures are great.
If you have any old photos floating around in draws and you want to use them, then instead of sending them in by post just take a photo of your old photo. This will usually allow us to use your much-loved treasured photo without risking it with royal mail.
Choose your style
The next most important thing is to choose your portrait style, here at Charlie’s Drawings we offer some amazing styles that can choose from.
Black & White portrait pencilThis style is perfect for nice simple family portraits; this style is drawn in pencil by hand, cleaned up on pc then sent on either high quality print & canvas. This style can be used for pictures of people who never met and can be made up from separate photos. This style takes on average two weeks to complete, you will get a preview sent through to your email, which you can approve to get your picture on its way.
Black & White Portrait detailedThis style is great for people who want a life like family portrait; this style is drawn on a drawing tablet, which is connected, to a high power pc. This allows us to keep the quality high and as life like as can be. Also edits are a lot easier to be made in this style as it’s not a case of a complete redraw. This style takes 2 weeks to complete and like all our styles you will get an email preview.
Colour Portrait DigitalThis Colour Portrait digital style works perfectly from your photos. In fact this has been one of the best sellers last year. This style is created with a drawing tablet connected to a high power pc. This portrait is then carefully drawn to give an amazing result, like all our styles in takes approx. 2 weeks to be completed. Look out for our email preview, which will be in your inbox.
Colour Pencil PortraitColour Pencil Portrait is such an amazing style to choose, this is hand sketched and coloured in pencil to give you an outstanding finish. These take a day or two longer than the others due to the amount of work put in by our team.

Yesterday we received this amazing canvas which was meant to be for my Husband for Christmas but there was no way I could keep it secret for that long!! You have made something so special possible as my Husbands grandad passed away a long time before we had our children and we always talked about the picture we would never get 😢 But now we have..Thank you so so much!!
