Pet Portraits

Commission a hand-drawn portrait of your beloved pet. Portraits are drawn using soft pastel and quality colored pencils on archival paper. Just supply a photo or two and I will create a portrait for you. Portraits come matted and ready for a standard frame.

Steps for commissioning a portrait

  • Choose some reference photos. (See guide below)
  • Choose the size you wish your finished piece
  • Send the photo to me using the Contact Form along with your thoughts about the background you would like
  • I will create a mockup and send it to you for your approval along with the total price for the drawing, as well as the estimated completion date
  • Once I receive final approval and your deposit, I will start your drawing
  • Once the drawing is complete I will email a photo of it. The balance of the fee is due at this time
  • The drawing will be delivered to you by the shipping method agreed upon

Reference photographs

Quality photos will result in a more accurate drawing. Here are some tips to help you take and choose a reference photo

  • The best photos are often taken from the pet’s eye-level and from 4-5 feet away. Ideally you will want to see both eyes.
  • Don’t use a flash. A flash will make your pet look flat and will often create “red-eye” effect. 
  • A good photograph will show details in the fur and nose, and will show  a reflection and detail in the eyes
