This is entirely up to personal preference. If there's an incredibly meaningful photo, those tend to make really thoughtful pieces.

However, there are some general criteria that make excellent portraits:
- clear view of subject's face (not blurry, pixelated, or distorted)
- eye-level angle (try to avoid photos where subject is looking upwards at the camera)
- avoid harsh sunlight, particularly for shiny, black-furred subjects (which tend to reflect harsh sunlight)

Yes, I've worked with many clients on custom backgrounds. Generally I can draw anything, but I will need to see if the subject & background "work well" together. There will be an additional cost depending on what you'd like drawn and how complex it is. Please send me a message & photos of what you're interested in and I can let you know what's possible and the price.

Yes, I currently paint and sell custom commissioned oil paintings as well. Some of my previous commissioned oil paintings include those of prize-winning racing horses, a memorable vacation in Lake Como, a former childhood home, and many others. If you're interested, please send me a message of what you're looking for, any inspiration photos, and I can let you know what's possible.

For portraits containing more than one subject, I can either draw them all together in a single portrait, or draw seperate portraits for each. In the end, it's up to personal preference, though there are a few considerations:

1 Drawing For All Subjects
- Great option if there's not a lot of wall space and you want to have all of your loved ones in a single drawing
- Each subject's face will be drawn smaller, thus less detail
- For multi-subject drawings, it's best to draw them as 16"x20" or larger

Seperate Drawing For Each Subject
- Great option if you have enough wall space
- Each subject's face will be drawn much larger, and thus much more detailed

First off, it should fit well in your home! The 12"x16" and 16"x20" will fit well in most small apartments. Also consider the type of frame you plan to use and whether it's matted or not, all of which will influence the overall size.

Another important difference between the sizes is that, the larger the portrait size, the more detail I'm able to draw. The smaller the size, the less detailed it'll be (hence why I like to keep the minimum size to 12"x16").

This was actually the second picture that we ordered from Frank! He was able to quickly get both of them done in time for a Christmas delivery even though they both were ordered after Black Friday. This picture looked just a great as the first one and perfectly captured our lab!

The picture that Frank drew of our GSD, Elsa, was even better than I could have imagined. He perfectly captured her fun-loving personality and her eyes that just draw you in. The picture also looks even better in person than it did in the preview that he sent before shipping. I would highly recommend this item and shop to anyone thinking about getting a keepsake of their pet.

The black mat frame gives each portrait such a clean and classic look. I have added it to all of my previous orders and will always add it when purchasing a portrait. Highly reccommend!
