Materials I Used
I’m excited to share one of my latest pieces, a detailed black Labrador drawing. This artwork holds a special place in my portfolio, showcasing the smooth, light laydown I achieved using my trusted Prismacolor Premier Coloured Pencils. The Labrador’s short coat allowed me to highlight the natural shine and texture with lighter colours, creating a lifelike and vibrant representation.
Working on the black Labrador drawing was a delightful challenge. The short hair made it easier to capture the subtle shine and smooth texture. Using Prismacolor pencils, I layered light and dark shades to bring out the depth and dimension of the fur. The soft, thick cores of these pencils were perfect for blending and shading, allowing me to achieve a seamless transition between colours.
For this black Labrador drawing, I chose Stonehenge Pearl Grey Paper. The smooth texture of the paper complemented the Prismacolor pencils beautifully, allowing for even colour laydown and multiple layers without any risk of tearing. The grey tone of the paper added a unique backdrop, enhancing the contrast and making the Labrador’s coat stand out even more.
A custom black Labrador drawing is more than just a piece of art; it’s a tribute to your beloved pets, both present and past. My goal is to capture the unique personality and spirit of each animal, creating a lasting memory that you can cherish forever. Whether it’s a playful puppy or a loyal companion, a custom drawing is a heartfelt way to honour their place in your life.
To complement my black Labrador drawing, I offer a quality framing service. Each piece is carefully framed to enhance its beauty and ensure its longevity. A well-chosen frame not only protects the artwork but also adds a touch of elegance, making it a perfect addition to your home decor.

I specialize in creating detailed and lifelike pet portraits, focusing primarily on dogs, cats, and horses. Each of these animals has its own unique charm and personality, which I strive to capture in my artwork. Here’s a bit more about why I love illustrating these beloved pets:
Dogs are a joy to draw because of their expressive faces and varied breeds. From the loyal gaze of a Labrador to the playful energy of a terrier, each dog has its own story to tell. I enjoy capturing the texture of their fur, the sparkle in their eyes, and the unique characteristics that make each dog special.
Cats offer a different kind of challenge with their sleek bodies and graceful movements. Whether it’s a fluffy Maine Coon or a sleek Siamese, I love illustrating the elegance and mystery of cats. Their eyes, in particular, are fascinating to draw, reflecting their curious and sometimes mischievous nature.
Horses are majestic creatures, and I find great satisfaction in capturing their strength and beauty. From the powerful muscles of a galloping horse to the gentle expression of a resting mare, each portrait aims to convey the grace and nobility of these animals. The flowing manes and tails, along with the detailed anatomy, make horse portraits particularly rewarding.
While pet portraits are my primary focus, I also have a deep appreciation for wildlife art. Drawing animals like deer, foxes, and birds allows me to explore different textures and environments. The rugged beauty of wildlife and the sense of freedom they embody are elements I love to bring into my work.
Creating custom portraits is a heartfelt way to honor your beloved pets, both present and past. Each piece is crafted with care and attention to detail, ensuring that the unique personality of your pet shines through. My goal is to create a lasting memory that you can cherish
