{"product_id":"the-line-portrait","title":"The Line Portrait","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA single continuous line, drawn from your photograph. Spare on purpose. Still a likeness.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Line Portrait keeps only what matters — silhouette, ears, the turn of the head — so the drawing sits quietly in a modern room. Hand-illustrated, not generated. Proof and unlimited edits, included. Archival paper, solid wood. From $89.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat The Line is\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA few considered lines can hold a whole personality. The outline of the muzzle, the angle of the ears, the way they sit when they are waiting for you. We edit the photograph back until the character reads at a glance, then stop. That restraint is the style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNico lives on an entry console. Pip on a nightstand. Both are Line portraits from ordinary photos. The rooms are quiet; the face still is not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is still a custom dog portrait from your photo — still proofed, still printed on archival paper, still framed in solid wood. It is not a clip-art outline, and it is not a filter that traces a snapshot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you send\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA clear photograph with a readable silhouette helps The Line most. Profile or three-quarter often sings. A straight-on face works if the ears and the turn of the head are distinct. Natural light, eye level. Phone photos are fine. If we need another angle, we will ask before we begin. \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/pet-photo-guide\"\u003ePhoto guide\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow the commission works\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUpload the photograph, add their name, add The Line to your cart. Choose a frame and size, or leave the studio default. Two pets can share a Line if both silhouettes read; tick the option and we will tell you if the pair needs a different crop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour proof is the drawing, not a sketch of a sketch. Ask for a tighter crop, a quieter tail, a name left off. Unlimited complimentary edits. Nothing prints until you approve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThen archival paper, solid wood, packed to arrive intact. One to two weeks to proof, a few days per edit, about a week after approval to print and ship.

An entry, a nightstand, a shelf with one plant. It does not compete with patterned wallpaper. It does not need a gallery wall to make sense — though it will sit calmly on one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe guarantee\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThirty nights.

Frames are solid wood — black, white, walnut, or birch — cut for the size you choose. No frame if you would rather take the print to your own framer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIllustration and first proof typically take one to two weeks from a usable photograph. Edits are usually a few days each. After you approve, we print, frame, and ship within about a week. Free shipping over $100 inside the United States. We send tracking when the portrait leaves the studio. If you are working to a date, write it in the order notes. We will not promise a calendar we cannot keep.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eQuestions we hear\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs a phone photo enough?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, if the face is clear.
