What size do these print at?

Each image is drawn in portrait format (832×1216) with an even margin — prints clean on A4 held vertically.

Can I use my own subject instead of the three shown?

Yes — the direction field takes your own idea, such as a cat's face or a strawberry, and the same three finishes draw it.

What's the difference between the three finishes?

Burnished realism is smooth, hyper-real, layered to a sheen; loose sketch keeps visible hatching and paper tooth; toned paper adds white highlights over a warm tan ground.

Is this a photograph of a real drawing?

These are images drawn in the coloured-pencil tradition — not photographs of an actual hand-drawn piece.

Reading 3Eye study

Coloured pencil is the patient medium: layers burnished to a sheen, the paper's tooth in every stroke, realism built from twenty colours where there seemed to be one. These nine render a sliced fruit study, a bird on a branch and a close eye study, as burnished realism, a loose sketch, or on toned paper. Ask for a cat's face or a strawberry instead and the same three finishes redraw it.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
