I’ve seen a few of those on social media, artistic and tasteful drawings or artworks of people. Some can be really very good!
How many of you would consider commissioning a portrait like that of yourself? |

No, I wouldn't as no doubt it would cost quite a bit to find a decent artist to do one.
Not really appropriate in my opinion to have them out on display on the walls if you have Children and Family/Friends visiting often. I'm sure they wouldn't want to see them.
They seem to be artwork that goes in and out of fashion quite a lot so could be bored with it within no time.  |

When I was a young art school student sketching each other used to be a regular part of our bedroom repertoire. Mind you, so did getting extremely high and drawing all over each other. Those crazy kids. |

"Agree with above , from my experience these and boudoir shoots are quite tacky & end up hidden in drawers after the initial buzz wears off.
Who’s wants a picture of themselves on display 247 ? "
Quite a few people judging by the number sold and commissioned |

Was just thinking this. Personally, i can think of better things to hang on my walls. Each to their own though.

I personally don't think my boudoir shoot was tacky ( profile pic is from the shoot) and the pictures are not hidden. They are on display in my bedroom.
My opinion of mine.
I've seen others that aren't so brilliant |

They area nice idea but after you’ve shared it on social media for a week you’ll not want to see it again |

Ha! Yes both
So I’ve also had a few girlfriends had the boudoir shoots ,Intimate portraits etc and they are nice souvenirs of a time and phase but very stylised and almost pop art , it’s a formulae and you see it everywhere - sane poses sane lighting, same brush effects etc
I do like original initiate works by good artists like Pachu M Torres & , I have 2 self portraits dune by forumites that I treasure but wouldn’t want to display |

Pachu M Torres is fantastic isn't he? I'd quite like something done in that style. Probably not of me though. |
