Whimsical House Portraits, Drawn by Hand — Just for You

Hi, I’m Rania — a favourite place illustrator based in Toronto, turning cozy memories into playful ink portraits with heart.

I draw people’s favourite places in ink on paper — no rulers, no tracing, no erasers. Just character-filled lines and a lot of love. Whether it’s your childhood home, a corner café, or a creaky old flat filled with light and laughter, I’ll turn it into a one-of-a-kind portrait that feels like a warm memory.

Every piece is drawn by hand on paper, freehand and full of personality. I pay attention to the little things — crooked windows, porch chairs, garden gnomes — because they’re part of what makes your place special.

These portraits make unforgettable gifts for anniversaries, housewarmings, or anyone who holds a place close to their heart.

It’s easier than you think!

  1. A Photo: All you need is a photo of the front of the house. Don’t have one? Google Maps can help!

  2. Special Requests: Want a special furry friend included? No problem! That funky mailbox needs to be part of it? Done! We’ll chat about what features you would love to see in the final portrait!

  3. The magic begins: I’ll put pen to paper to capture the whimsical details and keep you posted along the way!
