Custom Dog Portraits From Photos

A digital dog portrait starts with a picture you already love. We turn that photograph into a high-resolution digital pencil portrait — a personalised keepsake you can print, share, or hang as a framed A4 print.

Digital dog portraits from a photograph

People look for a custom dog portrait, a personalised portrait from a photo, or a dog drawing from a photo when they want more than a snapshot on the phone. This studio creates digital pencil dog portraits in the UK from the photograph you send. The finished artwork has the look of graphite on paper. It is digitally created, not an original hand-drawn paper drawing.

You can order a digital file to print yourself, or a mounted and framed A4 dog portrait posted to you, with the digital copy included. See portrait options and prices, or browse the gallery.

Digital pencil portrait or framed A4 print

Just a Digital Pencil Portrait is £20 + £2.99 postage (total £22.99). You receive a high-resolution dog portrait digital file, suitable for printing and sharing.

The mounted and framed option is £30 + £5.99 postage (total £35.99). That is a printed, mounted and framed A4 dog portrait, ready to display, plus the digital file. Postage is shown beside each option and is not the same for both.

A personalised dog portrait gift

A dog portrait gift works for birthdays, Christmas, anniversaries and dog owners who already have a favourite photograph. A framed dog portrait from a photo arrives ready to put on the wall. A digital file is a practical present if the recipient wants to print it themselves or use it as a keepsake on a phone or computer.

If the portrait is a memorial dog portrait, say so on the form. We treat those requests with care. Any clear photograph of a much-loved dog can be used.

What photo to send for the best dog portrait

The best photo for a dog portrait is sharp, well lit, and shows the face clearly. An iPhone photo is fine when it is in focus. Avoid screenshots, heavy filters and pictures where the eyes are lost in shadow. You can ask for a head-and-shoulders portrait, a full-body pose, more than one dog, a name added, or a background change.

The full steps are on how a digital dog portrait is created. When you are ready, send your dog photo.
