My illustrative style is semi realistic and sketchy and aims to capture the essence of your loved one/s in a modern and dynamic way. All my illustrations are based on photographs provided by you and can be of a single person or people combined to make a natural looking composition.

The illustration Process

Your illustration is first created digitally, sketched using a drawing tablet and pen. Your illustration will be either portrait or landscape depending on the photograph/s provided and any personalised text will be added where we feel best suits the illustration.

At this stage I will send you a preview to make sure you are happy with the overall composition, the look and feel of the drawing, and you can choose whether to progress with the finished illustration in full colour or black/white.

Once this is all agreed I then print the artwork onto fine grain artists paper and hand finish the illustration, working on top of the print with art pastels and watercolour pencils to add additional detail and depth and creating a unique piece of art you are bound to treasure for years to come.

After placing your order, please email your photo/s to: enquiries@amylizdesigns.co.uk quoting your order number and name or alternatively you can post them to me and I will return along with your finished illustration.

You will ideally need to send high quality photograph/s to ensure I can capture as much detail as possible. I will not be able to work from pixelated or blurry images, or photos where key face / body parts are cropped off, so please be mindful when selecting your images.

Try to opt for a natural daylight photograph if possible and key features such as each persons face should be clear and in focus.
