A few familiar faces… with a twist!

What I need from you

A face, a few details, a story.

The better the photos and details you send, the more personal I can make the drawing.

Send me your photos.

At least one reasonably sized, clear photo of each person, although the more, the better.

Tell me what matters.

Hobbies, work, interests or a story you share. List the topics in priority order for the victim… sorry, recipient.

Pick your drawing style.

Browse the options below. For themed caricatures, send your chosen theme code with the photos. Have a gift date in mind? Mention it when you enquire.

How shall I draw them?

From an A4 themed gift to a detailed ink drawing or a vibrant hand-painted piece, there’s a style for different ideas and budgets.

A photo and Jules’s Quickfire caricature showing the subject’s character

Quickfire caricatures

Ask Jules for a quote

The same bold style as my themed caricatures, with your own backdrop. Drawn with a Staedtler OHP marker pen and grey shading from graphic markers.

Fine detail is limited, so the number of topics may be too. A black border is included. For wedding favours I can draw and charge for one theme, then use it repeatedly.

Acrylic ink

Ask Jules for a quote

Better together.

Two people and Jules’s double caricature of the pair

Double caricatures

For couples getting married or engaged, or two best buds. Choose any of the styles above, drawn on a 12″ × 10″ format to give me room for both faces.

With limited background space, I include a humorous cartoon along the bottom, usually based on a story or theme connecting the two people.

Jules’s large group caricature featuring friends, family or colleagues

Group drawings

A large-format drawing for friends, family or colleagues. These can be drawn on any format and can include any number of people.

I charge per head, based on your chosen style, making the total easy to split when several people are chipping in.

From your idea to the finished drawing

Here’s how it works.

This bespoke ordering process applies to the drawing styles above, excluding the £10 themed caricatures.

First, we agree the idea.

I send a written brief outlining the theme, based on your topics and any ideas you suggest. It helps you picture the finished drawing before I put pen to paper.

Then, a pencil preview.

I email you a rough pencil sketch based on the brief. Minor alterations at this stage are free.

Changes outside the agreed brief that require a complete redraw carry a £20 surcharge.

Finally, your drawing.

Once you approve the proof, I complete the final artwork. You can collect it in person or have the unframed piece posted free of charge.

Framing, delivery & digital copies

I can frame the finished piece for a small fee, with postage extra. A digital copy is available on request.

Who shall I draw?

Got someone in mind?

Send me the photos, the topics and the style you like. I’ll help you work out the next step.

Ordering a £10 themed drawing?

Choose your theme or themes, then email your photos and the theme code. Include any personal message you’d like added.
