Custom Drawings & Illustration Gifts

Match the medium to the feeling you want. Pencil and charcoal read soft and timeless for a person, pet, or wedding photo; pen and ink looks crisp for line-art of a house or couple; pastel and marker bring color without the cost of a painting; digital illustration gives you a clean, modern style that's easy to reprint. Decide first whether you want the artist's original on paper or a printed file. Originals are one-of-a-kind and usually arrive unframed on archival paper (common sizes 8x10, 11x14, 16x20) — frame them under glass, since graphite and pastel smudge. Send the sharpest, best-lit reference photo you have, and note hair color, eye color, or pet markings the artist can't read from it. A single-subject pencil or pen sketch often runs $30-$90; detailed charcoal and pastel portraits $90-$250; extra people, pets, or full backgrounds add more. Digital files commonly arrive in 2-5 days; hand-drawn originals take 1-3 weeks, so order early for birthdays, weddings, memorials, and Mother's or Father's Day.
