No separate preview purchase
New custom portrait orders include a preview, with no minimum order value or extra option required.
A preview and a composition draft serve different purposes. The preview follows production. A draft before drawing can help us agree on a more complex composition.
Real photos. Meaningful portraits.
See how separate photos can become a shared memory, a thoughtful gift and a portrait that captures the people you love.

How your custom portrait comes together

Share your wishes
We review your photos and contact you before drawing if anything is missing or unclear.
Drawn by hand

A gift for parents or grandparents?
Separate photos can become one shared family portrait.

A few things to know before you order
How much does the preview cost?
It is included free with every new custom portrait order. There is no minimum order value or extra option to purchase.
When and how will I receive it?
Your artist sends the preview by email after production and before shipping.
Can I request changes?
Yes. Share specific changes with us. Possible adjustments within the subject and style you ordered are included.
Can I add people or change the subject for free?
Order extensions are discussed separately. Extra people, pets or substantial new elements are more than a simple correction.
How is a preview different from a composition draft?
A draft can help us agree on the composition before drawing. The preview shows the portrait after it has been created and before shipping.
Can I use old photos or combine several people?
Often, yes. We review the photos personally. Faces and important features need to be visible, and separate photos can be combined.
