You ask, I answer
Where can I buy your work?
I sell through my website, Etsy, and Society6. Items available through samialynn.com are only shipping in the USA and Canada right now, but hopefully will go international soon! If you’re not in the US or Canada, or would like to ship elsewhere, you can purchase through my Etsy shop here
What kind of customization can you do?
My specialty is fashion illustration, but I can certainly accommodate any type of illustration you would like from products to scenery to pets and houses. Send me an email or DM me on social media and we can work out your custom piece together!
How much do you charge for a full custom illustration?
Custom price is really dependent on how detailed and elaborate you'd like the illustration to be, but the price point starts at $75 and goes up from there. For a custom quote, please contact me.
What size do the illustrations come in?
The paper size of custom illustrations are 11x14 inches, however the drawing itself will be slightly smaller so you can fit it in a frame without cutting off any of the drawing. I try to give about a .5-1 inch allowance inside the paper. Illustration prints come in 4x6”, 5x7”, 8x10”, or 11x14”. If you have a specific size you would like the drawing to be, just ask!
What photos do you need to do a custom bridal illustration?
As many as it takes to show all aspects of the outfit, the more the better. If there are any details on the clothing, such as beading, lace, or jewelry, please send me close up photos if possible. It is also helpful if you know the dress designer since many designers provide close up photos on their websites.
What is the turn around time?
For custom illustrations, an approval of the preliminary drawing is required before I will complete the order and ship out. The faster the approval, the faster the completion. Typically, I can ship out within 1 week of the order, however, if I have a number of orders to complete it could take up to 2 weeks. For prints, I can ship out in 1-3 business days. Please note if regular shipping is selected, I cannot guarantee when you will physically receive your product as it is up to the post office to deliver in a timely manner.
What materials/tools do you use?
Most of my prints are digitally drawn with the Procreate app on an iPad Pro using the Apple pencil. Illustration prints are printed on semi gloss paper. For drawings done on paper, I use Copic and Prismacolor markers as well as Micron pens and Prismacolor colored pencils on a thick multi-media illustration paper.
How do illustrations ship?
All regular sized illustrations are shipped in a plastic sleeve with chipboard in a non-bendable envelope along with a piece of cardboard for extra sturdiness to ensure the paper stays flat. All custom, non-framed illustrations come wrapped in tissue paper and ribbon. Orders larger than 11x14” are shipped rolled up in a tube. Option to add a free gift message if it’s being sent directly to the recipient!
Do you ship internationally?
Yes! I can definitely ship to wherever you are in the world from my Etsy shop. However, please note that I am not responsible for any additional customs charges, that may apply to incoming mail in certain countries. I ship using USPS so I would recommend contacting them or your local post office to find out about any fees that you could run into.
