Illustration onlyHouse portrait: a simple drawing to help you picture short or long wording — not a seller’s product, font or layout. Real items vary, so always check the seller’s own preview or proof. What you type isn’t stored.
About this idea
House portraits are drawn from photos of the outside of a home. Styles range from crisp line drawings to soft watercolours, often with the house name or address and the year they moved in.
Who it suits
New homeowners, people moving out of a family home, and estate-agent clients’ thank-yous.
Ordering in time
Illustrators work through a queue; allow time to take good photos of the house first.
Before you order
- Take straight-on photos in daylight, without cars in front if possible.
- Decide whether to include the address — it will be on show.
- Ask for a proof before printing.
