FAQ
- Can you draw subjects other than heavy machinery?
- Yes! Heavy machinery is my specialty, but I’m happy to take on industrial vehicles, equipment and other subjects too, depending on the project.
- Is the pencil artwork completely handmade?
- Yes, 100%. Every pencil piece is drawn by hand on paper — no digital tracing, no automated rendering.
- What paper sizes do you offer?
- A5 to A2 are the usual sizes, but I’m open to other dimensions too. Just let me know what you have in mind.
- Can you draw multiple machines in one artwork?
- Definitely. Multiple machines, custom compositions and detailed environments can all be arranged as a custom piece.
- How long does a pencil artwork take?
- Usually around 2–15 days, depending on the size, the level of detail and how busy the queue is.
- Do you ship original pencil artworks?
- Yes. Originals are rolled and packed securely in a protective tube, ready for international shipping.
- What style of digital illustration do you offer?
- Clean, detailed vector artwork that stays true to the real machine. Backgrounds, text and other custom touches can be added too.
- Can you include a background or custom details?
- Sure. Backgrounds, text, logos, attachments and other elements can be added, depending on the package.
- What files will I receive?
- You’ll get high-resolution JPG and PNG files. Source files (EPS/PDF) come with selected packages.
- Can digital artwork be used commercially?
- Yes. Commercial use can be arranged — it just depends on where and how the artwork will be used.
- Can you illustrate a machine from my references?
- Of course. Send over photos, technical references or both, and I’ll build the illustration around them.
- Doesn’t drawing take way too long? Can you really finish in one day?
- Yes! For live drawing, I do about half of the work at home and finish the rest on site. That’s why early notice matters so much for the best result.
- Can you really sit all day?
- Sitting too long isn’t great, so I take a ~45-minute break after every 2 hours of drawing. Keeps the hand and mind fresh.
- What’s the benefit for the event?
- It brings your event to life, adds a unique attraction and turns your product into a one-of-a-kind, “anti-mainstream” artwork that really stands out.
- What if the drawing can’t be finished in one day?
- That depends on what we agree on. Some events just want it as a live attraction, others want the piece fully finished on the spot. So reach out first and we’ll plan it right.
