I have a photo of my kids when they were little and liked each other, this is my favorite photo and would love to have it sketched, does anyone know of an artist that does this type of stuff and how much they charge. I have a photo of my husband that has been drawn and I love it and would love to see this photo drawn.

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

Thanks everyone for all the help. Now I just have to ask my hubby if we can get it drawn.

K.,

I don't know of anyone personally, but I do have a very off the wall idea for you. If you have a digital copy of the photo you can render a sketch drawing from it in photoshop (the expensive version). It won't be a nice charcoal or pencil sketch, but it would be free. Just a thought.

Hello. My husband's long-time best friend is an artist originally from Hollis, but has lived in Perryton, Texas for years now. He is the Jr. High art teacher there, but does all kinds of extra work on the side. Check out his website at www.outside-the-lines.com. We think he is great! Good luck.

My fiance and I are artists, we dont do it for a living or anything, but we would deffinetely be interested in sketching the photo for you though... we both have sketched photos of our daughter and Eric has sketched photos of his family before... If you would like to meet up and see some of our drawings let me know. If you are interested we wouldnt charge you that much... but I would need to ask around and see what is "appropriate..." Eric also draws tattoos for people, but he doesnt really charge his friends, you know... I think we would give you a good deal.

The only set back though, is that we are getting married on the 19th and our honeymoon is Memorial Day weekend, so we would not be able to start the project until after that if that is ok.

Let me know what you think and I will exchange numbers with you if you wish.

Hi K.,
Fernando Medina is an awesome freelance artist who can do sketches or oil paintings, or murals on your walls with your kids faces on them. You will have to talk to him about pricing, but I do know he is a "starving artist" so you can probably work down the price a little. (don't tell him I said that!! I plan to do more business with him!!) But he is WORTH every penny. His phone number is ###-###-#### and you can leave a message and he will get back to you. He is very personable and friendly and talkative, good luck,

I don't know if you have already done this, but if you haven't - contact the high school or college in your town. Talk to the art teach & see if he/she knows of a student that would do it. I know several students in my hometown that do it cheap & do excellent work.

I don't know how much it would cost but I know an artist who does this sort of thing. I know it isn't cheap but I think it depends on what size you are looking for as to the exact price.

I am the Manager of Sears Portrait Studio at Woodland Hills. We can scan in your copy of the picture instantly (so we don't keep the picture) then send it to our lab and produce a product called an Artist Sketch. It is a 10x10 or a 20x20 framed portrait and is printed on a canvas. It looks just like a pencil sketch! The 10x10 is only $99 and the 20x20 is $179 this includes the frame and mounting. You can see this product at www.searsportrait.com . If you have any questions call me at ###-###-####. Good Luck!

My Uncle is going to do a sketch of my duaghter (once I pick a picture), but I think he only does it for friends and family. I have no idea what he would charge either.
