Let’s be honest most of our photos get buried in our camera rolls, never to be seen again. But some pictures? Some capture a feeling. A memory. A vibe. Now imagine turning that photo into a stunning piece of custom artwork, something hand-drawn, bold, and totally unique to you. Welcome to the world of illustrated portraits, where art meets personality.
At Imaginemylikeness, we don’t just draw faces we tell your story through illustrated magic. Whether you want to surprise a friend, celebrate a milestone, or just see yourself through an artist’s eyes, we create portraits that are deeply personal, beautifully crafted, and full of soul.
So... What Is an Illustrated Portrait, Really?
An illustrated portrait is a custom piece of art, usually based on a photo, that’s transformed into a stylized drawing. But it’s not just a copy of your face—it’s a reinvention.
You might be drawn with a glowing galaxy behind you. Or holding your pet lizard in one hand and a book in the other. Maybe you’re wearing your wedding outfit—or maybe you’re a comic book superhero. When it comes to style and imagination, there are no limits.
That’s what makes illustrated portraits so powerful: they go beyond the image and tap into personality, identity, and memory.
Why Illustrated Portraits Are So Popular Right Now
Think about it, every social media feed is full of selfies. But how many of them feel personal? How many actually mean something? An illustrated portrait breaks through the noise. It says, “This is me, uniquely, creatively, emotionally.”
Here’s why people keep coming to Imaginemylikeness for custom portraits:
-
They’re one-of-a-kind. No two portraits are alike. Each is built around your story.
-
They’re emotional. Whether it’s a tribute to a loved one or a fun memory with friends, these portraits hit differently.
-
They’re art you’ll actually display. Not tucked in a folder or buried on your phone real art, for your wall, your feed, your heart.
-
They make unforgettable gifts. Seriously, if you want to see someone cry happy tears, give them an illustrated portrait.

Here’s what one of our customers said:
“I got a portrait of my sister and her dog for her birthday. The artist captured the way her dog tilts his head perfectly. She cried when she saw it. It now hangs above her desk.”
Another said:
“I asked to be drawn as a vintage pin-up girl but with my tattoos and motorcycle jacket. It’s literally the coolest thing I own.”
This is what we live for. Real smiles. Real emotions. Real connections—made through art.
