Scotty's Dog Caricature Scenes

 Each Scotty’s Cartoons Dog Caricature Scene is unique and entirely tailored to the personality of your dog. They make an ideal gift for a dog lover, and result in a perfect everlasting keepsake that has the advantage over standard dog portraits, in that there is as much focus on their character, as on the way that they look.

Here’s a step by step guide to what to expect when you book a Dog Caricature Scene with me…

1. First of all, we arrange a date for your booking for me to begin your cartoon. Once the deposit is paid (which is subtracted from the overall cost at the end), we then move on to step 2…
2. I will send you a tailored form to fill in, that helps me get to “know” your dog. The more fully you can answer the questions, the better chance I have of capturing the many facets of your dog’s personality.
3. I then ask you to email the completed form to me, along with a selection of photos of your dog. Some people worry that they send me too many photos, but honestly, the more the merrier! As a minimum requirement, I ask for a clear headshot and a few full body shots to allow me to see the detail of colouring on your dog’s coat, as well as their stature and appearance.
4. I study the answers that you’ve given on the form. From these, I come up with a scene that will bring your dog’s personality to life in your cartoon. If you have multiple pets, I ensure that part of this process is how the dogs connect and interact with eachother too.
5. I start by roughing out the scene with a few drafts until I’m ready to draw the finished linework. 
6. Then I colour the scene, add shading and highlights to bring the scene to life.
7. I send the finished cartoon as a web friendly sized jpeg, along with the invoice.
8. Once the final payment is received, I then send you a high quality, high resolution jpeg that is perfect for printing the cartoon out at size 10 x 8 inches. For a small additional charge I can send you a print by snail mail if required.
9. You can use your high resolution jpeg however you wish (on a mug, canvas bag, TShirt, etc) so long as it’s for personal and not commercial use. (If commercial use is required, please drop me a line to discuss copyright options.) 

If you have any questions, please feel free to get in touch for a chat without feeling obligated to make a booking.
