Drawings: we connect, the design professional decides

This is a preview of how a drawing request works. Everything on this page is sample data: no real drawing is shown, no payment is taken, and nothing is stored. Click through it as each person.

We do not host or serve plan PDFs. A drawing is only ever viewed with its design professional's approval, view-only, watermarked to the viewer and redacted the way the designer chooses. We pay the designer 70% of the request fee.

View only. There is no download or print, and no clean copy exists: the buyer's name and the time are drawn onto every page, and the redactions are applied before the page is sent. A screenshot can still be taken, which is why the watermark carries a name and every view is logged.
