Commissioned Pencil Drawings Just for You
How much does a commission cost?
Commissions start at $1,200 for a 16×20 drawing of a single subject in graphite. Colored pencil, larger sizes and additional subjects cost more. I quote a fixed price once I’ve seen your reference photos, and a 50% deposit holds your place on my calendar.
How long does it take?
Usually 4 to 8 weeks, depending on my current projects. I don’t take rush orders. For Christmas delivery, order by November 1.
How does the original arrive?
Originals ship unframed. Shipping and insurance are added to your quote. Framing is available as an add-on.
Is it really drawn by hand?
Yes. Graphite and colored pencil on paper, start to finish. No filters, no AI, no digital shortcuts.
Why Commission
Original Pencil Art?
There’s something powerful about turning a memory into a tangible work of art. My commissioned pencil drawings are more than just images — they’re personal tributes, captured in detail and created entirely by hand. Whether you’re honoring a sports hero, preserving a family moment, or celebrating a beloved pet, custom art commissions give life to the stories that matter most.
Every commissioned drawing is crafted with care and precision, using professional-grade materials and refined techniques developed over years of practice. You’ll receive a piece of original artwork that’s not only visually striking but emotionally resonant — a one-of-a-kind creation that can be proudly displayed or gifted as heirloom-quality art.
Whether you already have a vision in mind or just a feeling you’d like captured on paper, I’ll work with you to make it real. Commissioned pencil drawings are the perfect way to turn memories into legacy. Let’s create something personal — and unforgettable.
What Can you Commission?
The beauty of commissioned art is its limitless potential. You’re not limited to one theme or subject — this is your story, your memory, your moment.
Popular commission requests include:
Athletes and custom sports art
Patriotic and Americana scenes
Personal or family portraits
Pet memorials or tributes
Drawings that mark birthdays, anniversaries, and other milestones
Whether you’re envisioning a dramatic sports portrait or a quiet moment captured between loved ones, I bring your concept to life with thoughtful detail. Each piece is a bespoke pencil drawing — tailored to your reference images, preferences, and vision.

How It Works
Commissioning original artwork may sound intimidating — but I’ve made it easy and collaborative from start to finish.
Here’s how it works:
Reach Out – Share your idea or the moment you’d like captured.
Reference Review – Send any photos or details you want included.
Quote & Sizing – I’ll confirm available sizes and provide a pricing estimate.
Sketch Approval – You’ll receive a preliminary draft to review and approve.
Final Drawing – I begin your commissioned pencil drawing with full focus.
Shipping – Your artwork is safely packaged and delivered to your door.
Communication is key — I’ll keep you informed throughout the process. Whether it’s a highly detailed sports tribute or a minimalist portrait, my priority is to make sure your expectations are exceeded.
Let's Create Something Personal
My clients range from sports fans and collectors to parents, veterans, and newlyweds. Some commission gifts. Others start legacy collections. No matter your reason, each custom art commission receives the same level of craftsmanship, attention, and care.
This is about more than just art. It’s about preserving what matters to you — in a medium that never fades.
Art has the power to preserve. To honor. To remember. To inspire. Whether you want to immortalize a defining moment or give the perfect personalized gift, commissioned pencil drawings are a timeless choice.
I would be honored to create something just for you.
