Custom Dog Portraits

I love dogs! I grew up with dogs from an early age, but unfortunately do not live with one myself, because I just would not have enough time for it. Preferably I would have a wire-haired dachshund with a beard! Anyway, I’m afraid I’ll have to settle for drawing dogs and since I love doing that so much, I’m offering my dog illustrations for extra nice prices (find options & prices below).

If you prefer other animals, take a look at my animal portfolio. I am not just drawing dogs 😉

Process

  1. Please read the following contents carefully.
  2. Request your desired portrait via the form at the bottom.
  3. I will confirm the order by e-mail and let you know by when I can create the illustration, and send you the invoice via PayPal. I will also ask you to send me reference photos.
  4. You send me the reference photos and you pay the invoice in advance.
  5. If there are any questions, I will clarify them with you by e-mail.
  6. I create your drawing.
  7. I will send you the illustration by e-mail (for digital options) or by mail (for analog options).

Options

Measurements & Scope

You can choose between the sizes DIN A6 to DIN A4. One, two or a maximum of three dogs can be represented in one image. The price varies depending on the size of the image and the number of depicted dogs.

Technique

You can choose between a digital or a analog drawing. If you choose the digital option, I will send you the finished illustration in print quality (300 dpi). If you choose the analog version, I will create it with gouache colors on textured watercolor paper and send you the finished drawing as registered mail.

Background

Please let me know if you would like a simple portrait of your dog with no background elements at all (head or whole body) or if you would like a cute geometric pattern or small plant drawn in the background (like in the examples).

Please keep it simple as that would be included in the price – I don’t draw complex backgrounds for the prices quoted). Do you have any particular preferences when it comes to colors and shapes, or would you like me to pick the color of the pattern (depending on what goes well with your dog’s color)?

Optional Print

Upon request, I can create one or more high quality art prints of the drawing. This is possible for both the digital and the analog option. Please specify in your request whether you also want a print. You can also order the print after the drawing is finished.

Shipping

If you choose the analog option, shipping as registered mail is included within Germany. Unfortunately, I can only offer this service for customers who are located in Germany.

Reference Images

Once I receive your request, I will send you an email asking for reference photos. Ideally, you will send me 2-3 photos of your dog(s). For the options with more than one dog, it would be beneficial if the reference picture depicts all the animals on one photo, rather than separately. I will contact you if I have any further questions.

Additional Information

  • Even if you choose two or three dogs, you will get only one image.
  • As you can see from the sample illustrations, my style is very cartoon-like. So if you request a drawing, the result will be in this style. If you would like a realistic illustration of your dog, I recommend that you look for artists who specialize in this style.
  • Please include your address with your request for invoicing and shipping if necessary.

Request Custom Dog Portrait

Please note that I first have to check if and when I can create the portrait of your dog(s). This depends on my current capacities. As described above, I will confirm your order by sending you the invoice via PayPal and contact you by e-mail.

I would also like to emphasize once again that I only offer this service within Germany. Please do not send me a request if you are located outside of Germany.
