We can include up to 3 people and 2 pets in one illustration - for larger groups, see our group portrait. Illustrated in a flowing, expressive line, the black and white portrait is then coloured with watercolour brushes to pick out a few highlight colours. This is our artistic interpretation of your photograph rather than a detailed illustration, we exclude details of the face so is not suitable for photographs where the person's face is fully shown. The poses that work best are natural looking moments, rather than smiling directly at the viewer - so looking down, to the side or from behind. For more detailed drawings of faces - see our other listings.
If your are standing in front of a lovely view or landscape, select yes to have the background included as well.
How do I upload my photo? Upload your image when placing your order and we'll use it as the reference for your custom illustration.
What will be included? We sketch from the perspective in the photograph and don't include any background details unless selected in the dropdown. If selected, the focus is on the figures and the background is left sketchy. The illustration is coloured and digitally printed.
Can I check what you’ve drawn? Yes - we’ll upload a proof via a customer enquiry for you to check and make any changes to. We offer up to 3 amends to your original drawing. For further changes there will be an additional charge.
Want another style? See our other listings for more detailed detailed drawings. We also draw pets, houses, wedding venues, favourite places…
