Question 2

Can you combine multiple people into one portrait?

Accepted Answer

Yes, I can combine multiple people into a single portrait, even if they are from different reference photos. Just make sure each photo is clear and well-lit, and I’ll work to create a cohesive and natural-looking composition.

Question 3

Is a deposit required to start the commission?

Accepted Answer

Yes, a deposit is required as part of our commission policy. A 50% upfront payment is needed to confirm your order and reserve your spot. The remaining balance is due upon completion of the artwork, before delivery or shipping.

Question 4

Question 5

Are frames included with the artwork?

Accepted Answer

Frames are not included with the artwork. Arbab Arts provides only the unframed, original artwork to give clients the freedom to choose a frame that best suits their space and style.

Question 6

What reference photo should I send for the best result?

Accepted Answer

Please send a clear, high-quality photo — ideally taken in natural lighting and without heavy filters. The image should be well-lit, in focus, and show the subject’s face clearly. This makes it much easier for the artist to capture accurate details and expression.
Accepted file formats include JPG, PNG, or PDF. The better the reference, the better the final portrait will reflect your vision.
