Examples from our studio
Your dog on the couch brings the couch, the rug and the cushion with it. A fine line pet portrait leaves all of that out. You get the animal in a single fine black line, with no shading and no colour, on a light paper shade of your choosing.
Shoot in daylight rather than with a flash, and hold the phone level with your pet's eyes, facing the lens. Fit the entire head in frame, then move in until the eyes are easy to see. One animal per picture, and a shot from your phone works. Our studio examples show this style on four dogs, two cats and a chestnut horse.
Black is the suggested frame colour, though you can switch it. On a framed print, a white mount gives the gallery look, and with no mount the picture fills the frame. Framed print, canvas and art print each come in A4, square (30 x 30 cm), A3 and A2. Warm white is the default, with sage, blush, sand or sky as the other paper colours, printed as the background on white matte art paper.
Your pet appears in this look in under a minute, before you pay, and the preview carries a watermark the print does not. The close-up lets you judge the detail, and On the wall shows the piece in a room. Your pet's name is free to add, up to 24 characters, set in our lettering after the portrait is made.

Which frame colour works with a fine line pet portrait?
Black is the frame colour the page starts you on, and you are free to pick another. Adding a white mount sets a border between the line work and the frame, while leaving the mount off lets the portrait take up the whole frame.
What makes a good photo for a fine line pet portrait?
Aim for daylight with no flash, and have your pet look towards the lens. Hold the camera level with their eyes, keep the entire head in shot, and move in until the eyes are clear. Keep to one animal per photo, and a 15 MB file from your phone is fine.
Will this fine line dog portrait style work for a cat or a horse?
It does. Our studio examples cover four dogs, two cats and a chestnut horse.
A designer checks every portrait before it prints.
Can one portrait have two pets, or me with my pet?
One portrait holds up to three pets, or you with your pet, one pet with one or two people, or two pets with one person. Add one photo per pet and per person, and a selfie is fine. With a person in the portrait, one photo of everyone together also works, and you confirm you hold the rights to the photos. Separate photos come out side by side, close together, nobody hugging or holding. No extra cost. A few styles stop at two pets, shown on the style page.
What changes can I ask for on my portrait?
Each style page has an optional Special requests box above Add to cart. Our design team reads your note and makes the change before your proof, included in the price. People ask for the name smaller or larger, the name centred or moved up or down, wider or tighter letter spacing, two names over two lines, a background colour outside the swatches, a collar, lead or harness left out, a stray object behind the pet tidied away, the crop adjusted for more room above the ears, or an eye colour or coat marking corrected.
What if it does not look like my pet?
You are the judge, first in the free preview before you pay. If it is not right, try another photo or another style at no cost. Write what you would like adjusted in the Special requests box. After you order, a designer reviews the portrait to make sure it will print well, then you receive a proof. Nothing is printed until you approve the proof, and if you want it refined at the proof, we refine it at no cost.
