How to grammatically correct write in Korean 'Could I draw these portraits for you?'
I want to draw a picture for someone who I know only from sns. I want to redraw her picture as gift and post on my social media. Is it ok to ask '이 초상화 좀 그려 드릴까요?'

Question

Answer

Hello, I'm Jina!

Your sentence is grammatically correct, I just want to tell you another option.
I would say like this to make more specific and ask to get allowance.

이 그림으로 초상화를 그려도 될까요? 
May I draw a portrait with this photo?

I hope it will help you (:

Answer

'이 초상화 좀 그려 드릴까요?' is pretty good.

One thing is that "these portraits" seems to indicate you are pointing at some existing examples.  In such cases, 이런(this kind of) is better than 이 because 이 usually means a single item.

Also, I'm not sure if you're going to draw only one or more.  If you are thinking of just one, then it's better without 좀.

So I would say:  이런 초상화 (좀) 그려 드릴까요?
