Have you ever scrolled through Instagram or Reddit and, all of a sudden, found a very cool picture of one of your friends drawn inside an anime family portrait? The entire unit was transformed into a custom anime world, such as in Naruto or Demon Slayer… and you thought: wow, what a cool idea! But I don’t draw anime myself, how on earth could I get something like that?
Lucky for you, you don’t need to be an artist and you don’t need to Google anime portrait makers to get AI to do it for you. There’s a special solution that’s in-between. In today’s post, we’ll be going over the whos, the hows, and the whats of anime portraits. We’ll talk about the basics, what makes custom illustrations so special, and how easy it is to create them using a service like Cartoonely to put them together that you can give as gifts. We’ll even go over the five most popular anime portraits that are bestsellers!
What Are Anime Portraits?
Anime portraits in the literal sense are pictures of anime-style characters, drawn by an anime artist. The process of a completed anime portrait can either be hand-drawn using sketches or, in today’s age, created by hand using a computer software program like Photoshop or Procreate. That’s certainly how it’s done in these neck of the woods.
Originating from Japan, “anime” actually describes all animated creations! In the rest of the world, however, anime refers to the Japanese style of cartoon. Japanese style is super fun to see! The anime characters usually have exaggerated physical features like large eyes and big hair and have tons of facial expressions!
Each anime series will have its own style, whether it be a gloomy color palette or bright and bubbly costumes! That’s also how you will be able to make your own anime portrait so unique. Let’s dive into that!

Be it a cat, fish, turtle, or ALL of them - they can be a part of the portrait too. At Cartoonely, we believe the more characters included, the merrier.
Select the Plan of Portrait
For the body of the anime portrait, you select if you’d want either a full-body or half-body feature. If you want a full-body featured in a half-length photo, we can do that too. This is important to consider as you’re able to draw a position of your body in a specific way.

They’re pre-made so you can jump right into the world and totally customizable so you can add small items that are important to you. And if you decide you want your own 100% customized background?
