Pets & People Pencil Portraits

This was my first job of drawing an owner and their dog. Sadly the dog died recently but I think the photo I was given to work with was a beautiful reflection of the special relationship between the dog and its owner. #petportrait #pencilart #graphitedrawing #offtheleadart

This is Poppy. Poppy’s human parents says she she’s not laid back at all. Here she is catching some rays. Onya Poppy! #englishspringerspaniel #petportrait #pencildrawing #pencilart #graphitedrawing #offtheleadart

Work in progress. I have been practicing my portrait work from a photo of Lea Seydoux. I practised here with minimal shading with powdered graphite, which I brush on, and only hard light pencils (H, 2H, 4H). #pencilart #portrait #graphite #graphiteart #offtheleadart

I enjoyed putting this one together. Composed from three separate pictures, I had to estimate the scale of each dog with the others. #petportraitartist #pencilart #mastiff #bluecattledog #offtheleadart #graphitedrawing #trio
