Zara's Pet Portraits & Wildlife Art

18 hours ago

Regardless of what medium I am working with adding these details is my favourite part of any portrait. These little details make such a difference. Using thin liner type brushes to get those longer fur details and adding more depth with each additional fur stroke. I can't wait to be back working with acrylics again :D

🐾🐯 They're finished 🐯🐾
I realised over the weekend that I never photographed my Tiger drawing so before it got to bright this morning that was my objective first thing :). Now ready to be mounted before looking for its new home.

This drawing was one I created from multiple references. This piece is one of a kind. I wanted to do something the same size as my Cheetah mum and cub portrait so when I went searching for references I stumbled across a sleeping Tiger. I then thought - right I will design my layout around this. I liked the lighting and how the hind legs were partially off the rock. But the Tiger was asleep. I knew that I wanted to incorporate a cub in this piece and wanted both of them to be awake. So I then searched for a photograph of a laying Tiger but one where she was looking straight at the camera. Found one I loved and used that head in the reference onto the sleeping body of the other photo.

I then went looking for a cub photo. This was more tricky because I needed it to be led down but I wanted it looking at its mother. Finally I found one that I liked and that with some adjustments would work.

So this pastel drawing really is something I have created from scratch using various beautiful references. I would love to hear what you think :)

🐾🐴 I have finished my largest horse portrait to date - A2! 🐴🐾
This has enabled me to fit in HEAPS of detail and I cannot wait to be able to share it with you. So for now, I thought I'd create a small collage of horse drawings I have been asked to do :). Pastels I think are my favourite medium for horses <3
