Affirmation Portraits

​An 8x8 inch, ballpoint pen portrait of a person of your choice with a hand-lettered affirmation to make them feel loved!

Great gift for tweens starting to enter the most insecure phase of life, people going through major physical changes such as a sudden disability or illness, transitioning trans people, marrying couples, and anyone else who needs a confidence boost! 

Includes
- Drawing of 1-2 subjects from provided reference photo(s) in ballpoint pens (with possibly effects added with colored pencil and/or gel pens) 
- Hand-lettered affirmation of choice in a chosen style  
- Updates throughout the drawing process 
- Ability to request changes to the drawing any time before inking begins (during the thumbnail and practice sketches, rough pencil sketch, and final pencil sketch)
- Ability to change affirmation or font anytime before hand-lettering begins 
- Affirmation font chosen from the menu shown in the photos. 
- Option to have the affirmation in real, tactile braille! 
Affirmations can also include or consist of chosen names, pronouns, or other LGBT-related affirmations as this is of course a very affirming way of supporting a person's transition or coming out! Just make sure that they are safe in receiving a physical gift which has their identity on it. (Out to and accepted by people they live with). If you need this as a digital file exclusively, please PM me on my socials and we can set up a paypal transaction to avoid the shipping costs. Be safe <3
