Custom Pet Painting Photo Selection Tips
Selecting a photo for custom pet paintings can be difficult
, to say the least. After all, which photo is going to show your dog or cat in the best possible light? Which image is going to reveal the true character of your best pal?While some people know, without thinking, which photograph is the one they want, other people don't. Thus, it is helpful to have a large selection of pictures for the artist to look at. In an extreme case it is possible to draw from a number of pics to 'compile' or put together custom pet portraits.
The first principle when choosing a photo for your pet portrait artist, then, is never throw away an old Kodak of your pet. And, make sure you have an entire selection on tap for the artist to choose from. Even an old pet drawing your child might have crafted might have some worth to the painter.
This rule, of not discarding any picture, applies to every image you might possess. Okay, the hue of the coat might not be fantastic in one pic, but the pose might be great. So you pick a good pose, and use the hue of coat from another jpeg.
One of the things an artist will always look for is whether the eyes are sharp and crisp. A far away shot might not reveal perfectly, crisp eyes, but another photo might do the trick. This is a classic case of two images being brought together to create the perfect blend which results in the best portrayal of your buddy.
Here are a few things I have found useful over my years of painting pets. A picture of a pet with somebody in it...it is possible to 'delete' the somebody and focus on that loving look in your cat or dog's eyes. Or, a distant photo, when zoomed and cropped for a near shot, might reveal enough detail for the artist to work with.
Another thing that frequently comes up is an off center image. With today's wonderful computers one can easily center and focus. This makes a photo that the owner might not think useful to actually have extreme value.
To bring this subject to a close, look for the best picture you can. In the event that you don't have one that displays your furry pal in the best way, choose a couple shots and send them along to the artist. And, most important, always send copies, don't send the original image for the painter to make your custom pet paintings with.
