Question 1

Do I have to draw the linework of my pet onto the canvas?

Accepted Answer

Nope, we can do that for you. Please email a photo to hcomplinart@gmail.com, in the subject line of the email, please type PYP with the date of your ticket (ex. "April 13th")
We will only be using a headshot of larger animals like cats or dogs to make it easier for you.

Question 2

How do I choose a photo for reference?

Accepted Answer

Find a picture of your pet that you like that is high resolution and not blurred, where your pet takes up most of the picture or can be cropped to be most of the painting. High-contrast images work best, make sure the photo is well-lit and everything looks clear.

Question 3

My pet is black, how should I photograph them for best results?

Accepted Answer

The best way to be able to see details on an black cat or dog is to take the photo outside or to use the flash on your phone or camera indoors. This will create shiny reflections on your pet's fur so you can see the contours and shapes more easily for a painting.
