Draw a picture from a photograph.  Prices for portraits from life and from photos Cost of painting and design works Artist Yakov Dedyk

We try to make the process of choosing and deciding to order a portrait from us as comfortable as possible for our clients. We know that you have a lot of questions, both quite simple and those for which it may be very difficult to find answers. Especially to make our custom portrait service clearer to you and the end result more visual, we have created this configurator.

Questions that require answers

The biggest doubts, as a rule, among people thinking about a custom portrait arise due to a poor understanding of the essence of the service. If you combine them all into groups and formulate them in the form of questions, you can get the following:

1. It must be very expensive?

Indeed, most people have very little idea of ​​how much such a portrait would cost. And he is very surprised when it turns out that it is relatively inexpensive. This is because the cost of such services is not obvious to people who have never ordered them.

2. A portrait is something big and awkward, isn’t it?

IN mass performance Unfortunately, this is indeed exactly the case. Massive gilded frame, enormous size, incredibly pathetic poses. Of course, a resident of modern Moscow can hardly imagine this in his interior, much less in such a way that it would be appropriate.

3. Surely you will have to sit motionless for five hours?

This is another incredibly common misconception associated with the idea of fine arts, which exists in the form of stereotypes imposed popular culture. The artist tries on for several minutes, squinting his eyes, while his model tries not to fall unconscious.

4. Do they even know how to draw?

The fear of ordering a job, and as a result getting something terrible, unprofessional, outright hack work, sits very firmly in our minds. However, nothing surprising: all the accumulated negative experience, which, as we know, is remembered better than positive ones, takes its toll.

5. How can a person who does nothing but continuously draw people see and draw me correctly?

This is one of the special fears that explicitly or subconsciously worries our clients. Fear that the resulting picture will be just one of hundreds of similar stamped portraits.

The answers we give to these questions

As you can see, each of these questions is quite important for making a decision. And specifically in order to answer them more clearly, we created this configurator.
By using it, you will learn that:

1. A custom portrait is not at all as expensive as it might seem. You can see the price here, it changes when you change the conditions. By the way, this is very convenient, because it makes it easier to buy a painting with optimal parameters on a budget limited to a certain amount.
2. Portraits are very different. Even within this configurator you can see drawn examples of portraits in different techniques. We paint on canvas and paper, in oils and pastels, in monochrome and color, in short, the variety is really very great. This is especially good if you want to receive a custom-made portrait as a gift to friends or family: it allows you to choose the one that best suits your needs. specific interior, or neutral option.
3. You don't have to sit still. We draw custom paintings from photographs. It is very comfortable. If you are going to give a portrait, then you can draw it from the photo, keeping your idea a secret. Upload the photo to the configurator, and from the photo it will make finished painting. It is convenient and very clear.
4. Our workshop employs professionals of the highest level. You can verify this both in the configurator and just below by reading the examples of work.
5. Your order will be unique. In painting in general it is quite difficult to find identical works if we're talking about about professionals. And when we are talking about portraits of people, each of whom is unique and inimitable, then it is completely impossible to draw a portrait similar to another.

How to use

To see the future result, upload your photo and select the options that the configurator offers you. The price will change automatically so you can immediately see the changes. It’s simple: you can immediately see how much a custom-made portrait from a photo will cost in a specific technique, size and with additional conditions.

Please note that we draw portraits from photographs, which means we work with clients living even in regions remote from Moscow. The number of people can also be essentially any. When painting from a photograph, there is no need to coordinate people and get them together to pose.

If you have already decided, then order a portrait from us, and we will deliver it free of charge throughout Moscow, or for an affordable price throughout the Russian Federation.

Separately, I would like to draw your attention to the fact that all the conditions presented for selecting your custom portrait differ in price, but not in quality. This is very important point, since very often we are approached with such a not entirely correct understanding of the process.

Our pricing is based on the most straightforward and honest principles. It directly depends on only two parameters: the cost of materials and the complexity of the work. Everything else is practically irrelevant. That’s why, in fact, our custom paintings from photographs are so affordable (one of the most affordable in Moscow): we don’t force our customers to pay for unnecessary things, and we can always tell what the price is based on.

That's why it's so easy for us to tell you how much it will cost to order a portrait painted in oil on canvas, and how much it will cost to work in pencil on paper.

With all this, we never save on materials, and do not suggest you save on quality. For us, the simplest way to focus is on optimal necessity. This means that we select paints, canvases and other consumables so that they provide the required level of work, and at the same time there is no need to pay extra money for the brand (because otherwise we will have to increase the price for you, and we don’t want that).

Therefore, you may notice that the choice of frame does not change the price of the painting you want to order. This can be explained very simply: all the frames that we offer are equally good, and differ mainly only appearance. Either by material, or finishing, or something else. This does not mean that another frame will definitely be worse: for each picture you need to choose something different.

The same goes for selecting packaging or other elements of your order. We have selected in advance best options, so all you have to do is choose a specific one. The main thing in a portrait from a photo to order is the portrait itself, the rest is just accompanying conditions. That's why we suggest you simplify your choice and focus on what's important.

And of course, if you decide to buy a custom portrait from us, then you can always count on any advice and assistance. Our calculator was developed in such a way as to be as clear and simple as possible, but we know that questions arise in a variety of ways, so contact us at any time and in any way convenient for you, we are always ready to answer them.

We live in amazing time new forms and possibilities. Technical and humanitarian progress, without exaggeration, gives us the opportunity to create miracles and live in a fairy tale, the authors of which we ourselves are. If anyone is stopping us from achieving everything we want, it’s ourselves. Do you have a picturesque portrait in your house? Most likely no. What's stopping you? Lack of funds, no desire to see yourself and your loved ones, the task is not one of the main ones, etc.? We find funds for a car, an apartment, houses and dachas. We go on vacation, we give expensive gifts, we spend it on whatever we want. Of course, there are objective reasons that prevent us from ordering our own portrait or painting. We have no time or desire to pose, we don’t know which artist to trust, we’re not sure what they’ll draw for our money, etc. This alone is enough for our desire to remain unrealized or even unconscious from year to year. Pictures from photographs - absolutely new approach to the issue of creating your own portrait or painting. Now paintings based on photographs of your family, friends and yourself can decorate your interior and delight you without all these difficulties and questions.

Requirement
to the photo for drawing
portrait from her

Dear friends, I want to immediately give you some important tips that you need to follow when you choose a photo so that I can draw or write from it interesting portrait High Quality. So, pay attention to the following:

Tip-1. The portrait image will be more artistic if the face is not from the front, but with a slight turn to the side, looking slightly from below or from above. A slight smile will brighten any face. The shoulder line is better at an angle in perspective, that is, slightly turned out. In general, the more your photo differs from the one for the passport, the better. This is especially important when performing a full-length portrait, where only the head and shoulder girdle are depicted.

Tip-2. For double and group portraits with hands, it is desirable that the faces and poses of the figures differ at least slightly from each other.

This is what the layout is all about. Now there are requirements for the quality of photographic materials from which the work will be performed.

Council-3. Photos from which the order must be made are very necessary good quality- this is the key to a successful result. The main photograph is selected from which it is intended to write or draw a portrait. And it is very important that the person on it looks most like himself. You may also need several other photographs from different angles to better represent the character of the face and its details.

The photo is better digital, large in size and very desirable - taken without flash, but with good contrast lighting, clear, without red eyes, which clearly shows facial details, especially the eyes.

Factors
affecting the cost
portrait

The higher the level of skill and professionalism of the artist, the more expensive his work is.
In addition to the skill of the portrait artist, there are a number of different factors (listed below) that are taken into account when setting the price.
Of course, all these factors only matter when all pictorial process done by hand by the artist. In other cases, they do not play a special role and they will print for you inexpensively, within 1-3 days, any image (retouched with paint or something else), of any size, with any number of faces, with any background and costume, even sometimes they will explain that this is a classic oil painting or drawing.
The cost of a handmade portrait depends on:

1. Difficulty of execution.

Given in descending order by complexity of artistic execution and cost:

1) Oil painting on canvas. This is the most complex and expensive execution; in addition to skill, it also requires time for the paint layers to completely dry, followed by varnishing.
2) Colored dry brush on paper; Pastel on paper.
3) Black and white dry brush on paper; Sepia or charcoal pencil on tinted paper + chalk.
4) Pencil on white paper, the most affordable type of execution

2. Dimensions.

Works of large sizes, as well as fairly small ones, such as miniatures, are much more expensive. The minimum sizes of portraits I perform start from 30x40 - 35x50cm, which depicts the face and shoulders of one person.

3. Complexity of the composition.

Images in which the background is in the form of a landscape or interior, hands in the foreground, ceremonial uniforms with awards, etc. - all this significantly increases the amount of work.

4. Number of people depicted.

The price increases depending on the number of persons, since several equivalent images of faces and figures are already painted and, as a rule, the size of the canvas increases.
Double, triple, etc. portraits cannot increase in price slightly as they are filled with persons. If you find somewhere inexpensive prices for good-looking work, moreover, where the number of portraits does not significantly affect the price - this is a clear sign of the use of photo printing.

5. Change in clothing.

You can completely change your suit to a different style and color, even change your pose and correct your figure. The more significant changes are made that are not in the photograph, the more expensive the painting will be (small changes in clothing, adjustments in the face and figure are not taken into account). I do not advise inserting people’s faces into unusual bodies and costumes of past eras, as this completely destroys a reliable idea of ​​personality.

6.Color image from black and white.

With a black and white photograph, it is much more difficult to produce a professional color version.

7. Deadlines.

If the deadlines are limited (within reasonable limits), then this significantly complicates the work, since the artist is often busy and even overpaying for urgency often cannot resolve the issue. If you want to receive a portrait by a certain date, then it is better to order it in advance, and not in the last days.

8. Photo quality.

With photo Low quality, spoiled or very small, depict true image person is very difficult, and often impossible. Such work is more expensive, and in some cases, it is carried out after 100% prepayment, since the results of the work stages sent may already have value in some cases.

From all of the above, it is clear that prices can only be provided for relatively simple works, ranging in size from 30x40 - 60x70, which depict one or two people. The cost of large-sized images, with different backgrounds and configurations of figures, is determined individually when discussing the possibility of ordering, when I see the photo and find out your requirements.

I ask you, please, not to compare the cost of portraits on Arbat, Nevsky and on the seaside embankments of the Black Sea coast with the prices that I presented. It just so happens that the specifics of working on the street are aimed at deftly manipulating technical methods combined with certain abilities, generate income as quickly as possible. The prices there reflect average level quality of work that can be done in 1 - 2 hours. Therefore, a portrait from nature on the street, measuring 35x50 - 40x55 cm, made with a dry brush or pastel, can cost: 30 - 50 euros.

For the same work, but done from different photographs, many (including me) ask for more: 60 - 100 euros, since drawing from a photograph (with a high end result execution) requires significantly more time than a quick sketch that is drawn in 1 - 2 hours, and the artist can freely improvise nature.

My advice is not to choose artists simply because of the low prices they charge for their work, but rather to look at the quality of their work first. It is important to note that there are no handmade portraits with high level execution according to low prices. The work of a portrait painter is very labor-intensive and responsible and is always expensive.
I don't think it's worth rushing to cheap printing for painting or drawing, time will pass and these works will be perceived as things that have gone out of fashion.

Only a well-executed portrait, into which the artist has invested his feelings, knowledge and experience, can bring joy to you and your loved ones for a long time. In the future, such work may become an antique value.
