Materials I Used
I’m thrilled to share one of my latest pieces, a vibrant coloured Cockapoo drawing. This portrait, drawn on white Stonehenge paper using Prismacolor Premier Coloured Pencils, showcases the playful and affectionate nature of this beloved breed.
Creating this coloured Cockapoo drawing was a delightful experience. The soft, thick cores of Prismacolor pencils allowed me to blend and layer colours seamlessly, capturing the Cockapoo’s curly fur and expressive eyes with precision. The white Stonehenge paper provided a perfect canvas, enhancing the vibrancy of the colours and allowing for smooth, even colour laydown.
Exploring My Dog Gallery
This Cockapoo portrait is just one of many dog drawings I’ve had the pleasure of creating. Each piece is crafted with attention to detail and a deep appreciation for the unique personality of each dog. From the loyal gaze of a Labrador to the playful antics of a terrier, my dog gallery is a testament to my love for capturing the essence of our furry friends. Explore my dog gallery here.
Gift Certificates
Looking for a unique gift for a dog lover? I offer gift certificates that allow recipients to commission their own custom pet portraits. It’s a heartfelt way to celebrate a beloved pet, whether it’s a new addition to the family or a cherished companion from the past. A custom drawing is a lasting tribute that can be treasured for years to come.
The quality of the reference photos is crucial for creating a detailed and accurate portrait. When selecting photos for your custom drawing, choose images that are clear and well-lit, showing the pet’s unique features and personality. Multiple angles and close-ups can help me capture the finer details, ensuring that the final piece truly reflects your pet.
