Beagle Cross Portrait in Coloured Pencil

Coloured pencil portrait of a Beagle mix dog with soft tri‑colour fur on toned paper

This artwork features a Beagle mix portrait, highlighting the soft tri‑colour coat and gentle transitions across the chest and shoulders. I wanted this Beagle cross dog portrait to capture the dog’s markings and natural character, building depth through subtle layering and careful attention to fur direction.

The front‑facing seated pose gives the portrait a friendly warmth, making this Beagle‑type coloured pencil portrait feel approachable and expressive. The toned paper helped enhance the browns, creams, and charcoal tones beautifully.

Materials & Process

For this Beagle mix artwork, I worked on a mid‑tone paper surface that supports both strong highlights and deeper shadows. I sketched the structure of the coat first, then slowly developed the softer areas, paying attention to the smooth fade of colour typical of a Beagle‑type dog drawing.

By combining layered strokes with gentle blending, the coat gained dimension and texture, bringing this Beagle mix coloured pencil portrait to life with depth and clarity.

Labradoodle Portrait
Labradoodle Portrait@Linda Harris
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.

Our son presented us with a beautiful portrait of our Weimaraner completed by Bobby 2 years ago. We were so delighted with it that we commissioned Bobby to do a portrait of our now companion, Amber the Vizsla. Absolutely delighted with the portrait just received, thank you so much Bobby, you are extremely talented. I would recommend Bobby for any portraits you would like, perfect results everyone.
