Commissioned Realistic Pencil Sketch

I want a finely detailed, hand-drawn pencil sketch that I can give as an unforgettable gift. The occasion can be anything—an anniversary, a birthday, or simply a one-of-a-kind present—so please feel free to suggest creative compositions that fit the moment. Style & finish • Strictly realistic work only; shading, depth, and likeness must be spot-on. • Graphite or charcoal is fine as long as the final piece keeps that classic monochrome look. Size You may work in A4, A3, A2, or another custom dimension that suits your process; just avoid A1 as it will be too large for my framing plans. What I need from you 1. A clear, well-lit scan or high-resolution photo of the finished drawing (300 dpi or higher). 2. The original artwork shipped safely in protective packaging once I approve the scan. 3. A brief note on the materials you used (paper weight, pencil grades, fixative) so I can reference it when framing. Timing & revisions Send me a rough outline or light sketch early on so I can confirm likeness and composition. One round of minor tweaks after the first proof is all I expect; anything major will be discussed separately. If your portfolio shows strong, realistic portrait or figure work and you’re comfortable adapting to different occasions, I’d love to see samples and talk schedule.
