Pet Portraits

SPECIAL GIFT

Are you looking for a gift for a pet-lover? Or you have your own furry friends, and you want to get something really unique and original? I create custom pet portraits made to order! You will get a lovely and unique hand-drawn artwork drawn from your photos using coloured pencils.

I will draw a beautiful, realistic portrait of your pet in coloured pencils on lovely thick paper, and coat it with a light spray varnish. I’ll just need a good photo of your pet for this, so grab your camera and take a gorgeous shot, or dig up that old favourite photo that disappeared deep in your phone.

PEOPLE PORTRAITS

I also draw people for the same price! Send mem a message with a photo of the person or people you would like me to draw, I’ll let you know the earliest I can get it done by,a nd if you’re happy with the arrangement, pay me through Etsy and it’ll be on its way to you in no time!

FAST TURNAROUND

Each custom drawing takes only 1 week.
I work on one drawing at a time, in the order they are paid, so when you express your interest, I will let you know how many weeks’ wait there will be, and if you're in a hurry, just let me know andI will do my best to accommodate you.

Get multiple pets in one drawing!

It can take twice as long to draw two animals on one page than one, so the price is slightly more for each additional pet :)

Multiple photos are okay! I understand that pets don’t post for photos, and if you have lots of pets, the chances that you will get a good one of them all together at the same time is slim, so if you have a selection of favourites for each animal, I can render them together on photoshop like a family portrait and use this picture to reference for my drawing. This service is included in the extra charge for multiple pets. I value your input, and am happy to work together to come up with a nice composition before you commit to a purchase. In the portrait of horses for example, we wanted to capture the expression of the main horse (Sammy), so he was up the front, and the green fields and other horses were included too because they were part of the family and symbolic of the place where they lived. Multiple photos were used, and shuffled around before we settled on this composition which worked well with the idea we had envisioned.

Please understand that the smaller the paper, and the more animals you get in it, the smaller their faces are going to be!
