Thanks everyone!
Julie, I dig Blackwing pencils!
Mike, I rarely turn a photo down. Instead I offer to draw/paint a photo to look differently. I might draw/paint brighter than the photo for example with a customer's permission. I might join subjects together from separate photos or move around subjects within a photo even remove subjects. I don't charge extra. I only charge extra if I have to fabricate a subject, like a police sketch-artist might do by using imagination, descriptions, and incomplete photo references.
Richard, I don't photograph! (Except for large works like the 4'x2' watercolor painting below which I felt compelled to insert as a change up from always posting human faces!) Instead, I use a Canon LiDE flatbed scanner from which I removed the lid hinges. I scan my work as large as 3' across section by section. Then I stitch the sections together using PhotoStudio (like PhotoShop).
