More Than a Portrait —
A Memory Preserved

A hand-drawn portrait keeps the spirit of your companion alive, capturing their expression, character, and the bond you shared.

Why get a pet portrait?

Here are some ood reasons

COMMEMORATE AND MEMORIALIZE

​

Many commissioned portraits are a tribute to beloved pets we miss. A portrait preserves precious memories and keeps the presence of your companion close.

Each artwork is carefully created with attention to every detail and expression. Personal elements—such as a name tag or favorite toy—can be included, while distracting backgrounds are removed.

​RECREATING AND CAPTURING LIFE STAGES 

​

Even old or blurry photos can become a beautiful portrait. By working from several photos—or video—I can reconstruct missing details and create a harmonious image that reflects your pet’s personality and different stages of life.

SUSTAINABLE QUALITY AND MEANINGFUL GIFTS

​

A hand-drawn animal portrait is both personal and lasting. I use high-quality pencils and 100% acid-free paper so the colors and fine details remain beautiful for generations.

​

Each portrait becomes a meaningful piece of art and a thoughtful gift—perfect for birthdays, holidays, or any special occasion. A gift certificate is also a wonderful way to surprise an animal lover.

Commission process

1. Get in touch 

Commissioned drawings


Would you like to have a personal animal portrait, landscape, or portrait of a person made? Feel free to contact me at enyorbanart@gmail.com to discuss your idea. You can also view my price list or give a gift certificate as a unique gift.

 

After receiving your message, I will be happy to discuss the details with you: size, medium (colored pencil, graphite, or charcoal), background, and any additional subjects. I will also give you an estimated delivery date, which depends on my current schedule. So please keep in mind to contact me in good time, especially if it is for a special occasion.

2. Choose the best reference photo

Photo selection
The photo you choose largely determines the quality of the portrait and, therefore, your satisfaction.

​

Pose and composition
Choose a photo that not only shows the physical characteristics, but also the personality and typical traits of your pet or loved one.

​

Eyes
Eyes give a portrait its soul. It is important that they are clearly visible, preferably open and with light reflection.

​

Image quality
The higher the resolution, the more detail I can incorporate into the drawing.

​

Does this seem difficult? Don't worry: you can always send multiple photos. Together we will choose the best option for the portrait.

3. Confirm your booking 

For an assignment, I ask for a 30% advance payment. The remaining amount is payable before shipment, after you have seen and approved a photo of the completed work.

​

I always give a start date and an estimated turnaround time. Depending on the size and complexity, this is usually between 27 and 35 days.

4. Completion & shipping

Upon completion, you will receive a scan for approval. If you are satisfied, I will invoice you for the remaining amount plus shipping costs. The portrait will be carefully packaged and shipped, with a tracking link so you can follow its progress.
