Imagine capturing the essence of a moment that holds a special place in your heart. Whether it’s the soft smile of a loved one, the playful energy of your pet, or the bond you share with your family, a custom portrait can turn that memory into timeless art. At Kriznchill, we specialize in creating hand-drawn custom portraits of people, pets, couples, and families, designed to bring your memories to life.
Why Choose a Custom Portrait?
Every portrait tells a story, and each stroke of the pencil captures the unique emotion of the moment. Whether it’s a detailed drawing or a loose sketch, a custom portrait can express the personality and essence of the subject in ways that a photograph cannot.
Take a look at this beautiful example. Can you feel the warmth in her smile? The subtle shading and fine details bring out not just a face, but a personality.

Whether you’re looking for a detailed portrait or a more spontaneous loose sketch, both styles go beyond what a photograph can do. They add emotion and depth, making your memory even more special.
How My Sketches Come to Life
Creating a custom portrait starts with a moment—your moment. You send me your favorite photo, and I take that image and bring it to life through careful, patient pencil work. Depending on your preference, I can create a highly detailed piece or a free-flowing, loose sketch that captures the essence of the moment. Let’s break it down:
1. Pre-Book Your Portrait: Start by pre-booking your spot to reserve a place in the queue. I’ll confirm your booking and timeline for completion.
2. You Share the Memory: Send a picture that means the world to you. Whether it’s a family photo, a beloved pet, or a candid moment, I’ll bring it to life on paper in either a detailed or loose sketch style.
3. I Start Sketching: Every drawing begins with your story. I work meticulously to capture the essence of the subject, focusing on the smallest details that make each person or pet unique. Like this portrait of a bearded gentleman:
Look at the intricate details in the beard, the softness in his expression—it’s more than a sketch; it’s a reflection of character.

4. Review and Final Touches: Once the portrait is complete, I send you a preview. Whether it’s a detailed or loose sketch, you get to see the magic unfold and can request any tweaks until it’s perfect.
5. Worldwide Delivery: After we finalize the portrait, I carefully package it and ship it to you, wherever you are in the world.

The Beauty in the Details
One of the things I love most about pencil sketches is the ability to play with light and shadow. Just look at the depth and realism in this baby portrait:
Work-in-progress:
This baby’s eye, full of wonder, comes to life as the water droplets on the skin are drawn in painstaking detail.

Here’s the finished piece:
The final portrait feels alive with emotion. Notice how the water droplets enhance the realism, making you feel like you’re standing right there with the baby.

This is where pencil art truly shines—it’s in the ability to take something as simple as a moment and make it feel powerful and eternal. Each portrait captures more than just the surface—it captures a feeling, an emotion, a story.
Why a Custom Portrait Makes the Perfect Gift
Think about it—what could be more meaningful than gifting someone a hand-drawn portrait of a moment they treasure? Whether it’s a birthday, anniversary, or just because, a custom portrait shows that you’ve put thought and care into your gift. It’s personal, heartfelt, and timeless.
Many of my clients have gifted these portraits to family members, and the reactions are always so touching. A custom drawing isn’t just a piece of art—it’s an experience that stays with you.
