When you order:

◈ Initial sketches/draft will be very rough and are used to give you an idea of where things will be in the artwork.
◈ Once you are happy with composition there will be a slightly tidier sketch & rough color where you can alter details before final rendering.
◈ I can send you very rough sketches of possible compositions & price ranges if you are undecided.
◈ Once the piece is finished you will receive a high quality file in the form of a zipped folder.
