To commission a custom pet portrait, you can contact me through the contact form on this website or via email. I specialize in creating highly detailed, realistic portraits using professional pastels. To get the best result, I work from clear, high-resolution photos that capture your pet's unique character and details.

I primarily work with professional pastel pencils on archival-quality paper (such as Pastelmat). These high-end materials allow me to create the fine textures of fur and feathers, ensuring that your wildlife art or pet portrait remains vibrant, detailed, and lightfast for many years.

The price of a custom pet portrait depends on the size (e.g., A4, A3, or custom sizes) and the number of subjects in the drawing. For a detailed overview of my current rates, sizes, and options, please visit the Prizes page here on artybyesther.com.

Absolutely! Besides commissions, I have a collection of original wildlife drawings available. You can browse my portfolio on this website to see which originals are currently for sale. If you are interested in a specific piece or would like to know more about the availability of my original wildlife art, please feel free to reach out via the contact form.

Yes, I do! I offer various workshops for different interests and skill levels. You can join me for workshops on realistic wildlife drawing in pastels, where I teach you how to capture animal textures and details. Additionally, I host creative workshops focused on Mandala art and Zentangle. Whether you want to master realism or find relaxation through patterns, you can find all the details and upcoming dates on my Workshops page.

I take three weeks to complete an A4 animal drawing and six weeks for an A3, but this depends on how much time I have and whether I am traveling; with prior consultation, more flexible arrangements are possible.

All sizes are on the page Commissions.

I always provide progress photos throughout the commission, typically trough WhatsApp for convenience. I’ll send images, after I’ve blocked in tones/colors, and before final touches so you can give feedback. If you prefer more or fewer updates, or a different app, we can agree on a schedule that suits you.
