The Prize
I am giving away a free custom portrait. The portrait will be a 5″ x 7″ pencil drawing on 3-ply bristol paper, fixed to prevent smudging. You get to choose your own photo for this portrait, and I mail it to you when it’s finished! The value for this portrait is $75.

It’s simple! To enter, all you have to do is scroll down and leave a comment on this post. Tell me what you think of the new site, or just say hi!
Get extra entries by tweeting this link, posting the link on your blog or facebook, subscribing to my RSS feed, etc. Just make sure you leave a separate comment for each entry telling me what you’ve done!
The Draw
The contest will close on Monday, October 12th at 7 PM. At that time, I will randomly choose one of the comments as the winner. The winner will announced on the blog and notified by email.
Good luck!
UPDATE: Yes, I do pet portraits as well! Thanks to everyone who has entered so far!

Hi, I love to sketch too, but I have to rely on luck. If I’m lucky, I’ll sketch something nice; if I’m not lucky, then…you know it!
See my hand sketching here:

Miranda,
Your talent is undiscribable, I am amazed by your portraits and will be ordering mine soon. I can hardly wait to see the look on my parents faces when they get their Portrait.
Love all the tips for artists, I will have to get you to teach the kids some of the techniques, I am so glad Ihave a person working with me with such talent.
October 8th, 2009 at 7:42 pm
I predict big things in the future for you. You’re not only talented, you also have a great deal of motivation.

Such talent you have! It would be so nice to have a portrait done of my dog- she’s 15yrs old and although still healthy I know she’ll be gone one day.
