Select your reference photos or create a new selfie, then chat with African artist Eric Sher to discuss portrait ideas (email Eric Sher <ericsher2003@yahoo.com ). Find Eric Sher on Facebook here.

Would you like him to create your portrait painting on canvas or paper? During your consultation with the artist, he will help you decide on the materials and size.

Provide your reference photo or photos to the artist so she can get to work and she will send you a work-in-progress photo!

While a portrait drawing on paper may require less time to complete, a painting on canvas will take more time. If you have an anniversary, birthday, or other date you’d like to receive the completed work, just let the artist know.

Final photos are sent to you for approval. The artist Eric Sher packages and ships the finished portrait to you.
