Once you submit your order, our artists get to work on digitally-illustrating your portrait.
Guidelines for Pet Portraits Images
The image you upload is the most crucial aspect of your order, as it significantly impacts the quality of the final pet portrait. Let's go through the following tips and guidelines to ensure that your image is just perfect
- Take a photo or select an existing photo captured in daylight or a well-lit room.
- Use a smartphone or a high-quality camera.
- Ensure the entire face and neck are visible without shadows.
- Avoid heavily filtered photos to accurately capture your pet's coloring.
- Ensure your pet is looking directly at the camera at eye level, facing forward. Other positions are acceptable, but the final portrait will depict your pet in that chosen position.
- Please note: Collars, leashes, bows, hats, and other cute outfits will not be included in the final portrait
- Ensure good lighting.
- Make sure the pet is facing the camera at eye level.
- Ensure the face and neck are clearly visible
- Pet lying down.
- Head and neck not fully visible.
- Pet with angled face and not at eye level.
- Poor lighting and significant shadows.
