Pet portraits crafted with pencil and love
A pet portrait makes a really special and unique gift for those loved ones and friends who simply adore their animals.Â
Creating a pet portrait from your photos
What could be more personal than a beautiful, hand drawn portrait of the real characters in our lives. A pet portrait is a beautiful way of honouring your beloved pet and it will make for an original and interesting piece of art for your walls.
​Each pet has special qualities from unique markings and colouring to the expression in their eyes, and the texture of their fur. I make sure to capture all of their unique features in my pencil pet portraits. I can draw any animal, not only cats and dogs, and as long as I have a good quality image reference from which to draw, I simply need a few photos to create the perfect pet portrait.
Capture their personality in a pencil pet portrait
If your photographs don't capture the whimsical and loving expression you've often seen on your pet's face, the creation of a pencil portrait can bring that expression to life. My chosen medium is pencil because I find it helps to bring the expression to the fore quickly. One this is established, I focus on the individuality, likeness and framable composition for the overall portrait.
