About the Service
Many dog lovers dream of creating a portrait of their furry friend, but not everyone has the drawing skills or time to sketch from scratch. That's where Sketchso comes in. Our online service transforms your favorite dog photograph into a lightweight sketch outline – essentially a custom dog portrait stencil – that serves as a gentle guide for your artwork.
The outline is invisible under your final art, so it completely disappears under paint or pencil, making it look like you drew everything freehand. We know your pet is family – in fact, 95% of pet owners consider their pets part of the family – and there's no better way to celebrate that bond than by creating a unique portrait of your dog.
Whether you're a seasoned artist or have never picked up a brush, our friendly platform provides you with a faint yet clear outline from your own dog's photo. You get to do the fun part – painting or coloring – while our tool handles the technical part of generating the accurate outline.
