Studio examples
Three directions. The same care for what makes them recognizable.
Compare the source and finished portrait, then choose a direction for your photo check. These are KeptPaw studio examples, not customer testimonials.
Gathered paper
Tactile paper, torn edges and remembered shapes. For a portrait where a favorite place or color belongs to the story.
Kept from the source: the watchful gaze, uneven ears, warm coat and relaxed paws.
Editorial distillation
Bold shapes and open space, with just enough detail. For a strong gaze or silhouette and a more graphic composition.
Kept from the source: the round eyes, soft ears, pale coat and upright seated posture.
Quiet remembrance
Soft light and a calm pencil-and-wash treatment. For the familiar posture and quiet moments you want to keep close.
Kept from the source: the green eyes, tabby markings, upright ears and resting gaze.
