The perfect gift for birthdays, Christmas, anniversaries and weddings. A beautiful black and white portrait based on a photograph provided by you, capturing that special moment in a unique illustration. To guarantee complete accuracy we now use bespoke filters on the computer to turn your treasured photo into a pencil sketch style illustration. Please enlarge image thumbnails for examples of the style - it is a linear illustration with added pencil strokes and shading. We can include or exclude the background behind the people, just let us know when ordering. The image can be whatver you want, a formal pose or a more relaxed moment. We can also print names, date or a message underneath the illustration in a handwriting style. If you\'ve asked for a digital proof, your illustration will be emailed to you for you to check. We will only be able to make small amends such as cropping and depth of shading (rather than changing face shape etc!) How to provide a photo After ordering upload a photo here or send us a weblink. Please make sure the photo is the largest version you have - blurred iphone pics will not be suitable!
