The Magical Gift of a Hand-Drawn Mini Pet Portrait

A hand-drawn mini portrait is a fun and thoughtful gift for the dog lover on your list.

As a fur mama to two of my very own German Shepherds, I will capture the light in their eyes and the brightness of their smile with love in every pencil mark and brush stroke.

Let me draw your pet and capture its spirit in ink or colored pencil!

We love dogs here!

Inspired by our own fur babies, we started a Puppy Smiles collection. And the idea to spread the love in an affordable hand-drawn dog portrait was born.

There are many dog portrait options out there but what makes us different is that I'm a dog mama of two and a full-time illustrator and artist combining portraits with elegant modern calligraphy. Your own original pet portrait is first hand-drawn by me on archival quality paper that will be shipped to you within 2 weeks of your purchase.

We then provide a core collection of customized goodies that you have the option of shopping, if you want more swag with your fur buddy on it.

Customization FAQs

Can you copy a specific style?

Creative Abilities & Artistic Style: We offer a number of custom options hand-drawn and hand-lettered in our art and calligraphy style. It is my honor to help bring to life a personalized and custom piece or gift. Browse our website to get a sense of my creative direction, design style, and creative abilities. I am not able to copy other artists or calligrapher's styles.

Will my custom piece be hand-drawn or digitally made?
