Drawing pencil-Tips A photograph

The first challenge facing any kind of commission portrait is the acquisition of Photography can be the subject of his question customer.This could be a person, a pet, or a building.

It is now time to a bit aggressive. Always insist on certain minimum requirements regarding the quality of the photograph. Otherwise, you're sure to fail in the portrait Pencil Drawing effort.

Naturally, the higher the image quality most likely to produce an excellent image. Although most clients understand this, You'd be surprised how many terrible pictures that I received.

There are several reasons for this. For example, some clients only a picture taken with a disposable camera or even an old wedding photo of his parents blurred. It will not, unless you have a clear understanding with his client before the draw.

From experience I can tell you that if the image is bad, or poorly resolved, are doomed to fail and not be able to produce a good resemblance. Therefore, an unhappy customer will often ask your skills rather than the quality of your image. To avoid these situations, are a few lines guidelines.

* If your client has a digital photograph, insist. JPG format, minimum resolution of 300 dpi (dots per inch).

* When the image is to be taken, emphasizing the use of a digital camera 5 mega pixels or more and make sure that your client sends Version unchanged (no cutting or resizing) of the photo.

* If the client has a photographic paper (often a question above) if possible, to scan your computer and email it to you first. This will give you the opportunity to judge the quality of the picture before original message. Also in this case, a solution must be emphasized too high.

Here are some additional suggestions you can give to your client:

* For pictures on paper, insist on head size at least 2.5 to 3.5 inches, measured from the top of the head to tip of the chin. The smaller size is much more difficult to work.

* Tell your customers to avoid the issues raised by abnormally smiles. Indeed, without a smile is often informal portraits more convincing.

* If the image has not yet been taken, it is recommended the client uses the flash. The flash tends to end with natural shades that are very important in a portrait pencil drawing. In addition, the lighting comes from the direction of a light source is a nice bonus.

* If possible, ask your client will send some pictures of the object, there including some close-ups. This gives a much better idea of the unique qualities and personality topic. It will also reveal many small details that are often crucial to achieve a good picture of the object.

* For group portraits, insist not only on a group photo, but also in files separately for each subject. This allows you to produce a montage or a collage best group.
* If all else fails and, if possible, take photographs about yourself.

Of course, in practice, may often have to do with less. And in fact, can often be less. However, it can not do without the resolution is sufficiently high. From experience I can say there is no way to avoid this. A blurred photograph it will not unless your client wants to blur the goal and is only interested in the artistic qualities of service and not a true picture.

Therefore, with a picture in my hand right now we are ready to begin drawing on the screen without having sabotaged our efforts since the beginning.
