Immortalize yourself or a loved one (including pets) with an artistic hand drawn pencil rendention. The price will go up to $15 after the first 50 orders, then $20 once my site "The House Of Portraits.com" is launched so send your pics to me today! Send by attachment, to portraitsubmits@yahoo.com.

Makes a great gift. All completed portraits will be sent back as a hi-res 300dpi digital .jpeg file attachments to the e-mail you provide so you can PRINT, FRAME & HANG!

I need to complete 10,000 in all. To see my challenge click on the link in my sig - (10,000 Portraits in 1 Year!)

Also, each portrait I draw will be put on my website The House Of Portraits (not launched yet) which ofcourse will have links to your blogs or websites etc.. and you may also use it as your avatar. Self portrait avatars.com will also be launched once a build up a good number of portraits pieces.

I'm all about the art so if you would like one put in your order NOW!
Thanks, Jim

Isn't 2 dollars/euro a bit cheap even for the first 150? How long does it take for you to draw them? Also could you post a sample of your work?

Interesting idea.

Yes, this is a very cheap price, but I need to get going on these asap. I figure this is a great way to start getting some drawn so I can open the affiliated websites.

But this is an exclusive price for YE members only!

I am pretty experienced at this, it takes me only a 1/2hr to draw a pencil portrait with detail.
If you want one just send your e-mail attachments to portraitsubmits@yahoo.com with some contact info.

Just sold 1 but many more to go. A professional drawn portrait for only $2 is unheard of, but only 149 more will be sold at this special price for YE members!

I've been on this board for a month. And in that month i've heard some of the most asanine ideas to try to make a quick buck. Stupid affiliate sites, crap ebooks, pixel sites that worked once, drop shipping the same shit as the next guy from the exact same company, and tons of scams.

This is the first idea i've heard that is viable enough to make at least 20k (if he sells 10,000 at 2 bucks. Using your talents is the best way to make "easy money". No offense to all of you but 99.9% of your ideas suck and worked once 4 years ago.

This guy has potential, i'll be ordering a few.

Appreciate the respect simplegreen! and thanks ahead of time for the orders you will send!

Hi artdrops

Good luck with your challenge, I just have 1 question

Are you the only person drawing the portraits or do you have more people assisting you.

The reason I ask is that if it takes 1/2 hour to complete a portrait it would take a working week of 70 hours 52 weeks a year to complete 7280 portraits
and at 2$ each it does seem allot of work for very little return.

Best of luck with it! I love seeing someone do something different and creative. Whether it works or doesn't work there's know such thing as a failure just a learning curve.

$2 for a Portrait Can't beat that anywhere, lets get everyone behind him.

Payment made. I agree with Nigami...let's show some support for artdrops

Thanks Guys! I really appreciate your help! That's 4 orders so far, by all means keep them coming.
For you guys who ordered, I will be working on your orders tonight, you'll have them by tomorrow.

One thing, Nigami I think you overpaid. Unless that's a tip. lol

Otherwise the price is only $2. All completed drawings will be e-mailed only, back to you as large .jpeg file attachments with 300dpi resolution so it will print while keeping the details.

Thanks again for everyone who is helping me reach my goal. If anyone else would like a portrait please send me your clear, large .jpeg pics!
