How long does it take to create an illustrated portrait?

Have you ever looked at a portrait and wondered how much time and effort it took the artist to paint it? Try Googling the title of this article and you will see that it can take from several hours up to several days to draw an illustration. Moreover, you will need at least some experience and practice to do so.

As technology evolves more and more tasks are becoming easier to complete. The introduction of tablets and digital drawings significantly simplified the whole process for beginners and those with non-traditional drawing backgrounds.

However, there is still a vast majority of people who do not know how to draw and don’t have the time or desire to do so. Taking all of these into consideration, dzook team pushed their imagination and developed a magic platform for all those who want to get an instant result with zero effort.

Many of you might already have heard of the dzook app and had a chance to try it. For all those who haven’t, here is a short description of it: dzook is a platform that allows you to convert your image into an illustrated portrait within several seconds thanks to the AI technology created by 3dzook that uses the database consisting of thousands of portraits provided by our artists to get the best and the most accurate result.
