Yes! Typically, the subject is solely drawn on its own page. I usually remove the background and add a gradient to create focus on your subject. This technique ensures that the attention remains on the person or pet being illustrated. Additionally, you can customize your portrait further by requesting additional objects to be incorporated, making your artwork uniquely yours. Whether it's a favorite accessory, a meaningful symbol, or a specific setting, I'm happy to discuss how to make your portrait more personalized.
