Photo Selection Guide
A great painting starts with the right photo, follow the tips below to choose one that brings out the best in your portrait.

✅ What Works Well in a Painting
- Clear, well-lit faces that already look good without editing, natural light, soft shadows, and visible expressions.
- Photos taken with intent: portraits, close-ups, or well-composed shots where the subject is clearly the focus.
- Emotional connection: images that carry meaning to you (a moment, a look, a memory). That feeling translates into the final painting.
- Balanced colors and contrast: nothing too washed out or overly filtered. The more natural the tones, the more realistic your result.
🚫 What Doesn’t Work
- Tiny or distant subjects: if you have to zoom in just to see the person’s face, the painting won’t have enough detail to work with.
- Heavy shadows or backlighting: these hide facial features and make painting results look off, especially in portraits.
- Busy or distracting backgrounds: too much happening in the background can compete with the main subject and overwhelm the final image.
- Old screenshots or compressed files: low-quality uploads lose important detail during printing and scaling, leading to blurry or dull sections.

For Pets Still Here, and the Ones Who Aren’t
Whether your pet is a cat, dog, rabbit, or something else entirely, and whether they’re still by your side or just in your heart, this process becomes something personal. It’s not just about creating a likeness, it’s about spending time with the feeling they gave you. Finishing the Custom Painting By Numbers Pets feels less like closing a project and more like saving a moment you didn’t want to lose.
Customer Reviews

Caleb K.
I didn’t expect it to feel that personal. Halfway through, I realized I was smiling at the painting as if he were actually there. Recommend!

Shannon
Look at this thug. Acting like he doesn’t knock stuff off the table for fun. I painted every single fur patch and still don’t trust him.☺️

Robert Strine
I guess I’m an addict now, gotta paint the whole squad. This little guy’s rocking that beanie like he owns the place.

Lori Moon
Everything came neatly packed and ready to go. The colors were vibrant, the canvas was clear, and the whole process felt smooth from start to finish.

Danielle
So far so good! Everything arrived in great condition, and the details are turning out better than I expected. Can’t wait to see it finished.

Solomon J.
10/10 from beginning to end. totally worth the brush cramps.

Irene C.
Look at these two, one’s plotting, the other’s pretending he doesn’t know about it. Easily the most intense art session I’ve had, but worth every second.

Andre
I laugh every time someone says he looks scary, then I painted him. Sure, he’s got that tough guy face, but spending all those hours on every detail? You start seeing the softness. Total sweetheart, just misunderstood.
