Which portrait style is right for you?
Every Cherivoa portrait begins with your photograph, but the style you choose helps determine the character of the finished artwork.
Our Cartoon and Watercolour styles are designed to preserve the people, pets, expressions and important details that make your photograph special — while giving the finished portrait its own artistic personality.
Cartoon
Our Cartoon style creates a cleaner, more defined interpretation of your photograph. Features, expressions and important details are given slightly stronger definition, producing a polished illustrated look while still maintaining a recognisable likeness to the original photo.
Watercolour
Our Watercolour style has a softer, more painterly character. Colours and details blend more naturally into expressive brushwork and watercolour textures, creating a traditional artwork feel while preserving the important features of your photograph.

The examples below show the same original photographs transformed into both styles, making it easier to compare them side by side.
Want your style adjusted?
Art is personal, and we understand that you may prefer your portrait a little stronger or a little softer.
If you love the Cartoon style but would like the effect toned up or toned down, just let us know when reviewing your digital proof. The same applies if you'd like a subtle adjustment to the artistic treatment of your Watercolour portrait.
Every Cherivoa portrait includes one reasonable likeness or detail revision before approval at no additional charge, and nothing is printed until you approve your portrait.
Your photo. Your personality. Your choice of style.
