What is a line drawing from a photo?
A line drawing from a photo, also known as line art, is a portrait consisting only of fine lines. The background disappears and no color or shading is used, so all attention is on you. Thanks to the ample white space, the poster looks calm and modern.
How do I create a line drawing from my photo?
You upload your photo on this page and see the result immediately. Then you can add names or your own text, choose your size, and order. A proof print is not necessary: what you see on your screen is what you get.
Which photo works best for a line drawing?
A sharp, well-lit photo where everyone's pose is clearly visible. A busy background is not a problem, because it disappears. Clothing with a print or stripes is usually easy to draw, but sometimes a pattern remains visible. You always see the result on your screen first.
Can you recognize someone in a line drawing without a face?
Yes, because recognition is mainly in the hairstyle, the silhouette, and the way you stand together. Faces are not detailed in this style, although sometimes a detail such as a beard or mouth remains visible. Do you want to see the faces clearly? Then take a look at the portraits in watercolor and pencil sketch.
Who can be in a line drawing?
Everyone in your photo: a couple, a family, friends, grandparents with the grandchildren. Your dog or cat can join too. For a larger group, the 30x40 cm size looks best.
Can I combine people from different photos into one line drawing?
Yes. If not everyone is together in one photo, email your photos to info@personalprints.nl and I will combine them into one portrait free of charge.
For what occasion do you give a line drawing as a gift?
A line drawing is a beautiful gift for an anniversary, birthday, wedding, Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, or Christmas. It also works well as a gift for someone who already has everything: no one else will have this poster on their wall. Every portrait is gift-wrapped as standard, ready to give immediately.
Can I have the line drawing delivered framed?
Yes. When ordering, choose a black aluminum frame (from €19.95) or an oak frame (from €22.95), both with glass. When you purchase a frame, your portrait is framed free of charge, ready to hang immediately. The frames are intended for hanging and do not come with a stand.
How quickly will I receive the line drawing?
Your poster will be delivered within 1-3 business days, so you will be on time even for a last-minute gift. Shipping costs €3.95 in the Netherlands and €5.95 to Belgium.
How much does a line drawing from a photo cost?
A line drawing costs €29.95 in A4 and €37.95 in 30x40 cm, regardless of how many people are in it. The poster is printed on 192-gram premium matte paper.
