The Golden Labrador

When I started this drawing, I wanted to capture the warm and friendly nature of a golden labrador. Prismacolor pencils, with their rich pigments and smooth application, were perfect for this. The white Stonehenge paper provided an excellent surface that enhanced the colours and details of the drawing.

First, I began with a light sketch to outline the golden labrador’s shape and features. I focused on the proportions and distinctive characteristics of the breed, such as the expressive eyes and floppy ears.

Next, I started layering the base colours using light strokes. For a golden labrador, I used shades of yellow, gold, and brown to build up the fur’s texture. Prismacolor pencils blend beautifully, allowing me to create a smooth transition between colours.

As I added details, I paid close attention to the fur’s direction and the highlights in the eyes. Using a combination of light and dark shades, I added depth and dimension to the drawing.

Finally, I refined the drawing by adding the final touches, such as whiskers and subtle shadows. This step brought the drawing to life, making the golden Labrador appear more realistic and three-dimensional.

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.
