Realistic Pencil Couple Portrait

I would like an A4-size, pencil-rendered portrait of a couple. The goal is a lifelike likeness with accurate proportions, smooth tonal transitions, and fine detail in facial features, hair and clothing texture.

Please work strictly in graphite; I’m after that classic black-and-white look rather than charcoal grain or colored-pencil hues. A crisp, high-resolution digital scan (300 dpi or higher, TIFF or PNG) will serve as the primary deliverable. If you can ship the physical sheet safely, let me know the shipping method and cost; otherwise the scan alone is fine.

To help you capture the couple accurately, I’ll provide several reference photographs and a short note on their personalities. A preliminary layout or light sketch for approval before final shading would be appreciated, along with one round of minor tweaks after I review the finished scan.

Kindly share a few samples of previous pencil portraits so I can see your style and level of realism, and indicate how many days you’ll need from the moment you receive the photos to final delivery.
