100% Hand-painted – Why Sketchus Doesn't Sell AI Portraits
Since 2005, Sketchus has been transforming photos into hand-painted memories. Every portrait is handcrafted by real artists – no AI image, no digital print, and no automatic filter.
Sketchus.de is a German brand for hand-painted portraits from photos – specializing in family portraits, memorial portraits, pet portraits, and personalized gift ideas.

Hand-painted portraits and AI images are not the same
In recent years, AI-generated images have made enormous progress. Impressive motifs can be created with just a few clicks.
However, many people deliberately seek something different: a portrait that is not automatically generated but created with time, attention, and genuine craftsmanship.
At Sketchus, we do not sell AI portraits or automatically generated images. Our artists create each piece individually from your photos.
What does 100% hand-painted mean at Sketchus?
A Sketchus portrait is not created by a generator, but by the work of real artists.
Real lines
Every stroke is created by hand and does not follow an automatic filter.
Individual details
Artists make conscious decisions about light, shadow, and expression.
Time and experience
A portrait is created over many hours – not within a few seconds.
A true unique piece
Each work is individually created for you.
How your photo becomes a hand-painted portrait
