I will turn your old photo into a nostalgic digital illustration
Billur
About this gig
I turn old photographs into custom digital illustrations, preserving the original memory while giving it a new artistic look.
Your photograph is used as a tracing reference to keep the original composition, people, architecture and important details. I then digitally draw and color the illustration in Procreate, using my modern sketch style with soft, watercolor-inspired effects.
This is not photo restoration or realistic colorization. The final artwork will have my illustrated sketch style rather than a photorealistic look.
No AI-generated artwork is used.
You can send old photographs of family members, homes, buildings, streets, hometowns or other meaningful memories. Depending on the package, I can also combine elements from two different old photographs into one illustration.
Please feel free to contact me before ordering if youre unsure which package is right for your photo.
Delivery style preference
Please inform the freelancer of any preferences or concerns regarding the use of AI tools in the completion and/or delivery of your order.

Hi! I’m an architect and digital illustrator with a passion for turning memories, places and photographs into unique illustrations.
I specialize in hand-drawn digital artwork inspired by old photographs, architecture and meaningful places, using delicate sketch lines, soft colors and watercolor textures.
I love preserving the character and little details of the original image while giving it a new artistic life. Each illustration is created individually and with care.
FAQ
Is this photo restoration or colorization?
No. I create a new digital illustration based on your old photograph. The final artwork has my modern sketch and watercolor-inspired style and is not intended to look photorealistic.
Do you use AI to create the illustrations?
No. Your illustration is created by me digitally in Procreate. I use your original photograph as a tracing reference to preserve its composition and important details.
What kind of photos can I send?
You can send old family photos, portraits, homes, buildings, streets, hometowns or other meaningful memories. The clearer the original photo, the more details I can preserve.
Can you combine two different old photographs?
Yes. With the Premium package, I can combine elements from up to two old photographs into one illustration. Please contact me beforehand if you’re unsure whether your photos can be combined.
Will the illustration look exactly like my photograph?
The composition and recognizable details will be based on your original photograph, but the final result will be an artistic interpretation in my sketch and watercolor-inspired digital style.
Which package should I choose?
Packages are based mainly on the complexity of the photograph. If you’re unsure, send me your photo before ordering and I’ll recommend the most suitable package.
