Realistic Charcoal Portrait Commission

I would like a hand-drawn charcoal portrait of myself that closely mirrors the classic piece my father once had. I’m after a realistic style, keeping the background intentionally minimalist so all focus stays on me. Please pay extra attention to my facial structure, hair texture, and the key details in my clothing—those elements should stand out much like they did in the original portrait I’m referencing.

I will supply several recent photos (front-facing and profile) along with a snapshot of my father’s portrait for stylistic guidance. In return, I’m expecting a high-resolution digital scan suitable for printing plus the original artwork shipped flat and protected.

Let me know your typical paper size, charcoal brand or technique preferences, and an estimated timeframe from sketch to final fixative. A brief outline of your process and two or three examples of past realistic charcoal work will help me choose quickly.
