The best gift you'll ever give

Custom means Custom

The most important thing is that your sketch feels special to you.

So if you want the New York skyline, your pet chihuahua or a Chanel store, we can create a custom quote to cover everything you want. 

Did I mention that pets and babies are always included free of charge?

Created with care

Sketches are created with care from the references that you provide in your email brief to Sarah.

You see the sketch at pencil stage to check that you are happy with the way that it is evolving.

Sketches are packaged carefully to ensure they arrive with you safely.

One of a Kind Gifting

Whether it's to celebrate a special event like a wedding, anniversary or birthday; or just a way to make someone feel special for less of a 'bespoke' budget. Our portrait options cover a range of needs. We can sketch at A4 or A3 and send them in a gift box for you. 

How Does It Work?

Email the image that you would like sketched to info@sarahdarby.com.au and any information size as required deadline and size preference.

You’ll need to send through photo/s that you want to use and think if there are any other special elements that you’d like Sarah to capture.

Please be as specific and as detailed as possible. Sarah then sends you a pencil sketch to check, once you approve this we will move onto colour and it is harder to make revisions.

Any additional rounds of changes can be made, but they will be at an additional cost, its much harder to make changes once the colour has been added.

If approved at pencil sketch, a redraw is not possible, so Sarah really asks that you are happy at pencil stage.

Your illustration will be sent express post within Australia and registered international post overseas.

A4 packages are boxed in Sarah Darby branded boxes. A3 are sent in thick card and a waterproof cellophane cover.

A digital file is available at an additional cost at your request. 

Sarah does everything she can to meet everyone’s needs.

If you are happy to plan ahead, it's helpful to have 3 weeks notice in Australia and 4 weeks from US and Europe.

If you have a deadline in mind, (like a birthday or travel departure date) it's best to mention that straight away and if you need something urgently, please email info@sarahdarby.com.au and we will see if we can help. 

Sarah does everything she can to adjust the queue to suit as many deadlines as possible.

Absolutely, Sarah will happily support you in creating a piece that is perfect for you. Reach out for a chat and a personal quote, email info@sarahdarby.com.au

Yes absolutely, although please keep in mind that these need to be a little more stylised as different photos will mean different angles of each face and different lighting.

”We are so grateful to Sarah Darby from Sarah Darby Illustrations for being a fabulous addition to our wedding day! Our guests absolutely loved their portraits. It was such a joy to see their reactions as they received their sketches.

Sarah’s warm personality and engaging presence made the experience even more enjoyable. We can’t recommend her highly enough for any special occasion!“

“I first met Sarah when I hired her for my wedding back in October and they were a massive hit with our guests! So popular in fact that when we asked, she kindly agreed to stay longer on the night!

After the wedding Sarah did a beautiful portrait of my family which we LOVED and is now displayed in our home. Can’t wait for more special occasions in the future to have Sarah!“

Joey

Bride

Sarah's work is not only amazing but is genuinely dedicated to bringing her client's vision to life. I approached Sarah to illustrate a portrait which would be a gift for my friend's birthday.

The end result exceeded well beyond my expectations. Besides being authentic and professional in her work, Sarah is also a lovely and warm person. I will definitely be working with Sarah again.“

Sarah was an absolute joy to work with and brought so much magic to the launch of Robyn Lea’s book.

She made the whole process seamless for us, with her illustrations becoming a true highlight of the evening. Her warmth and creativity are unmatched, and she went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. We would recommend her in a heartbeat!“
