Calico Cat Coloured Portrait – Double Pet Drawing

Tabby Brothers

Hello, fellow cat lovers! I’m Robert Shirt, a portrait artist hailing from the picturesque landscapes of Yorkshire. Today, I’m excited to share with you a recent project close to my heart – a pencil drawing of two magnificent tabby cats.

Using the finest materials, I embarked on this artistic journey armed with Stonehenge 100% cotton paper in a beautiful fawn hue, paired with Prismacolor pencils. With each stroke of the pencil, I aimed to capture the unique charm and personality of these feline companions.

One of the most rewarding aspects of creating this portrait was the opportunity to use acrylic highlights to accentuate the intricate details of the cats’ fur. These subtle touches added depth and texture, bringing the drawing to life with a sense of realism.

We lost our 13 year old labradoodle in September. She was the love of my husband’s life, so I ordered a bespoke portrait of her for his Christmas present. The whole process was extremely easy. I sent several photos to Robert and he chose one that he could work with. He kept me informed of the process and sent a photo of the finished portrait for approval. He had produced a beautiful picture in coloured pencils that exactly captured our doodles expression. I chose the option to have it framed and it was finished and sent to me in plenty of time for Christmas. Needless to say my husband cried when he opened his present and the portrait now has pride of place in our living room. Thank you Robert for giving us not only a wonderful present, but one that we will cherish forever.
