Info on photos
You can email your photos to hello@sophiecaricature.com
I usually ask for several photos of each person, preferably of good quality, varied, and showing what they actually look like in life.
Some examples to help you:
Highly visible features, traits
I see the features from profile or semi-profile
Full-figure photo in case of a full-figure caricature
Photo with a smile
Not a priority, but it is nice to see the personality in the photo as well ;)
and some COUNTER-examples to help:
Unflattering, grimacing
Not up to date
Low quality, pixelated, head up or down
Over filtered, something covering the face, they don't look like themselves
Other elements

1-2 photos of animals are usually enough, vehicle type, colour and possibly registration number may be required, and any photos of backgrounds or objects that you think are important to show me.
How long will it take to complete the caricature?
A caricature drawing can take anywhere from a few hours to several days to complete, depending on the number of people involved and the complexity of the picture. So, to answer this question, I need to know the client’s vision.

It is also important to know the planned delivery date, so that I have a deadline to stick to.
Sketch and modification
Sketch
For pictures with complex subjects and backgrounds, I sometimes send a sketch to clarify the layout of the picture with the client before working on it.
In more straightforward cases, such as where I am only drawing 1-2 people without backgrounds, I don’t send a sketch.

These are just quick scribbles, just to brainstorm the layout of each element. So, neither the face nor the colours are elaborate or final.

Modifications
It is possible to request a modification 2 times, and this is included in the price.
Payment
Payment is made in advance by bank transfer.
There are two reasons for this:
-There have been cases where the work has not been paid for by the client.
-Another reason, and this is the main reason: it allows you to finalise your order.
In other words, I schedule the order of the person into my calendar who has already paid.
You can see my prices under the PRICES menu.
If you have an extra request, we can discuss everything privately.
For the moment, payment is only possible by bank transfer. I will give you the details for this in our correspondence.
I will also invoice you when the work is done.
Information on the size and printing of digital caricatures
Caricatures are made digitally, so you can request any size.
Influencing factors
What size will fit where the picture will go in the apartment?
What size frame can you buy?
The layout of the theme can also be a guide to choosing the size and ratio. For example, for such a crowded, detailed image, you might want to ask for a larger size (This was A2).
Canvas Print
The canvas is priced separately from the caricature and its price depends on the size. Canvas can be ordered in any size.
Paper picture
Basically, I send the pictures by email and you can take care of the printing and framing.
For canvas prints, I can arrange printing and delivery by courier.
You don’t want the order after all?
No problem!
If we are already in correspondence, and heaven forbid you have already sent me pictures, but for some reason you are still not ordering, all I ask is that you let me know so I can stop counting on you.
I swear I will not be offended, but I need this information for planning purposes.
The main point is to love what you get at the end!
