FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
If your questions are not answered here, there is a contact form at the bottom of the page - I'd love to hear from you.
​
​
HOW DO I ORDER?
Contact me using the form below or visit the Order a Portrait page, let me know what size you would like and who the portrait will be of and I will be in touch. See the 'How it works' tab above for more info on the ordering process.
CAN YOU DRAW ANY PHOTOGRAPH?
Yes, but it helps if it is a good, high quality image - and not blurry! Â The better the photo, the more detailed the finished portrait.
HOW WILL MY PORTRAIT BE PACKAGED?
With care. I apply professional fixative to prevent smudging and securely package every portrait so that it arrives with you safely. Small orders will be posted flat, and large orders, rolled in a sturdy tube.
DO YOU DRAW PETS, CARS OR HOUSES?
Yes! I love drawing pets, especially! Contact me on the form below and tell me about yours. See my gallery page for a look at my pet, house and car drawings.
CAN I COLLECT MY PORTRAIT?
Of course. If you live locally and wish to save on postage, you can collect your portrait.
WHICH PAYMENT METHODS DO YOU ACCEPT?
I take Bank Transfers, Cheques and Paypal (6% charge), but let me know if you would prefer to pay via another method.
HOW LONG DOES THE PROCESS TAKE?
I normally advise 2-4 weeks from initial enquiry, though this does depend on the portrait size and may also be longer during busy periods. International orders may be longer due to shipping time. If you have a specific date in mind for a birthday or other occasion, let me know and I will do my best to accommodate you.
WHAT SIZE SHOULD I ORDER?
If there are 2 or more subjects, I would recommend at least a medium size portrait. Also, it is worth thinking about where the portrait may be displayed - If on a large empty wall, you need a large portrait! If it might be displayed on a shelf with other items, a mini or small portrait will be more appropriate.
I am happy to advise on the size of your portrait based on your requirements and photo quality.
CAN I HAVE 5 OR MORE PEOPLE IN MY PORTRAIT?
Depending on the photo, I might be able to include 5+ subjects. Contact me with your requirements and I'll see what I can do.
DO YOU SHIP INTERNATIONALLY?
Yes! Just let me know where you live when you order.
HOW DO I SEND YOU MY PHOTO?
You can email it to me at portraitsbymanisha@gmail.com or alternatively, you can post it to me (don't worry, it will be returned with your finished portrait).
HOW MUCH IS SHIPPING?
£10 via Royal Mail Next Day 1pm Service.
SHOULD I PUT DOWN A DEPOSIT?
I take a 50% deposit to book your piece in for drawing. This will reserve your slot in the drawing diary.
DO YOU USE QUALITY MATERIALS?
Yes, I use premium artist paper and graphite for all artwork. I use a professional fixative on all finished pieces to prevent against smudging and fading.
I HAVE A CUSTOM REQUEST...
By all means! Please contact me using the form below, let me know what you would like & I will be in contact soon.
HOW MUCH WILL IT COST?

For your peace of mind, I send you a photo or scan of the finished piece. If you think there is something not quite right, I offer a round of corrections, no quibbles, no charge.
