FAQ

  • Do you draw any kind of animals?
    Yes! I will sketch/illustrate any pet/animal, but the price might be higher depending on the complexity of the animal. As an example, I was commissioned to illustrate a bear once! That's not something you get asked to sketch every day! Feel free to get in touch if you have any unusual requests such as Jasper the Moon Bear!
  • How long does it take to complete a sketch or colour illustration?
    If I don't have many orders in progress a Sketch (1 pet) normally takes a week to create. A colour illustration (1 pet) takes on average 2 weeks to create. However, it all depends on the complexity of the animal. More detailed commissions and multiple pet commissions take longer to complete. It's always best to get in touch with any questions you have, as I'll always attempt to meet any specific dates you need your commission by (birthdays etc).
  • Do you create illustrations larger than A4? For example, can I have my portrait printed on Canvas?
    Yes, it is possible to have your portrait printed on Canvas. Costs are typically determined by size so if you're interested in this option please get in touch to discuss your requirements.
  • Do you get busy at certain times of the year?
    Yes, from October to December is typically the busiest time of year, as people start ordering custom pet portraits as gifts for Christmas. If you're thinking of gifting someone a custom pet portrait I encourage you to order as soon as you're able to. Don't leave it until the last minute!
  • Can I order a made-to-order product without ordering a custom pet portrait?
    Without ordering a custom pet portrait first, I won't have an image to print onto any of my made-to-order products, so I thoroughly encourage you to order a custom pet portrait first, or order a custom pet portrait and a made-to-order product together. Alternatively you can order a custom pet portrait first, then come back at a later date to order any made-to-order products.
  • Can I add more than one pet to my portrait?
    Yes of course! Each additional pet you add costs extra. To add multiple pets to your portrait either increase the quantity or select the quantity from the dropdown. Please note, the more pets you add to your portrait the smaller each pet becomes. For example: 2 pets on A4-sized paper (side by side) are half the size they would be if you only had one per page. The maximum amount of pets you can add is 4 per portrait.
  • Can I add my pet's name to the illustration?
    Yes! It's a great way to personalise your portrait. I'm all about making the illustration as personal to you as I can. When you place your order there is a comments box where you can add your pet's name to the portrait, this gets added as a name tag in the portrait.
  • Can I add my pet's favourite toys or accessories to the portrait?
    Yes! Typically these work best in the colour illustration style. Customers have requested all sorts of accessories, such as sunglasses, scarves, and even a Viking helmet once! If you have any special requests please get in touch to discuss your ideas in more detail.
  • Can I upgrade my Sketch to a Colour Portrait at a later date?
    Hell yeah you can! Get in touch via either via the contact form on the website or send me an email @ info@sketchyourpet.co.uk with your order no. and your pet's name and I'll get back to you as soon as I can with a quote to upgrade your sketch.
