FAQ
Questions before commissioning a charcoal portrait.
What types of charcoal portraits can I commission?
Fazal accepts a wide spectrum of charcoal portrait commissions, including children's portraits for gifts, elder portraits as memories, couple portraits, tribute pieces, and personal keepsakes.
Which portrait sizes are available?
The common sizes are A3 and A2. Portraits are drawn on Canson Scholar sheet, and the final quote depends on size, detail, deadline, number of subjects, and reference difficulty.
How long does an A2 charcoal portrait take?
A single-person A2 charcoal portrait usually takes about two weeks. An urgent one-week timeline may be possible when the reference photo and schedule allow it.
What makes a good reference photo?
A good reference photo has natural facial detail, proper lighting, and a helpful angle. Snapchat or Instagram filters should be avoided because they change the facial features needed for an accurate portrait.
Do you provide frames with the artwork?
Frames are not included because courier services usually do not accept framed artwork. The finished portrait is carefully rolled and packed in a tube so the client can frame it locally.
Can the portrait be delivered internationally?
Yes. Domestic and international delivery can be arranged through DHL. Delivery timing and handling remain subject to the courier service.
What is the payment and revision policy?
A 30% advance payment confirms the commission and is not refundable after cancellation. Up to five revisions are included for reasonable refinements based on the agreed reference and brief.
Can my portrait stay private?
Yes. Clients may request privacy before the commission begins, and Fazal will respect that. Otherwise, Fazal retains the right to sign the finished portrait and showcase it online or in portfolio material as his charcoal artwork.
