Every Bareface portrait is drawn by hand, by a dedicated studio artist, working from your reference photo. No AI, no templates, no automation — just original illustration crafted to your likeness. With six distinct styles ranging from editorial ink work to bold pop-art energy, there’s a look that aligns with your brand, your personality, and the impression you want to make. Use this guide to compare them side by side and choose the one that’s right for you.

The Six Portrait Styles

Each style produces a high-resolution digital portrait at 4072×3256px, delivered as a white background JPEG and a transparent PNG. All portraits are commercially licensed and completed within 7–10 business days, with two rounds of refinements included.

Journal

A modern take on the iconic Wall Street Journal crosshatch illustration. Refined, authoritative, and built for high-resolution screens. From $320

Chronicle

Editorial ink stippling and bold flat color blocking inspired by the golden age of newspaper portraiture. The most detailed style in the collection. From $500

Pencil Perfect

Hand-drawn pencil on paper, digitized and enhanced with color. Warm, tactile, and approachable. From $290

Refined Line

Directional hatching and a monochromatic blue palette on warm cream — classical pen-and-ink portraiture with a contemporary edge. From $250

Portrait Plus

Understated monochrome elegance with a close focus on fine detail. Clean, versatile, and timeless. From $250

Pop Fiction

Bold, graphic, and full of energy — a pop-art-inspired style that brings vibrant personality to your professional presence. From $200

How to Choose a Style

Not sure which style fits best? Here’s a quick way to think about it:
  • Journal or Chronicle — if you want something that commands attention, carries editorial weight, and references a rich tradition of illustrated portraiture.
  • Refined Line or Portrait Plus — if you prefer something quieter and more versatile, suitable for a wide range of brand contexts.
  • Pencil Perfect — if you want warmth and a handcrafted feel that reads as personal rather than corporate.
  • Pop Fiction — if you want energy, colour, and a look that stands out on any platform.
Every style is available as a Single, Trio, or Studio bundle. Browse each style page for full detail on technique, file specifications, and pricing.
