Meet Dingo the German Shepherd

Posted on by Zara Toms
🐾✏ Dingo ✏🐾 One of my favourite portraits to date. This handsome, very smiley German Shepherd was one that will feature as a full length German Shepherd tutorial on Patreon. I was asked to draw his eye and surrounding fur for a focus study but when I  saw the photograph I couldn't resist drawing all of him. The lighting, the contrast, his expression and his colo...

My Lexie <3

Posted on by Zara Toms
Lexie is my 5 year old Sprocker. Madness of both breeds - you ask why haha. But she truly is a special dog. Very laid back considering. Yet, despite being a mixture of two breeds that are known for their love of water - she isn't convinced! She will get her paws wet but will not go in any deeper than a few inches. She is certainly not a born swimmer with that love of water. She rarely sits still...

🐾✏️ 💦 SWIMMING BLUE IS FINISHED 💦✏️🐾

Posted on by Zara Toms
I LOVE a challenge! First time attempting water with pastels but it was my favourite part when working on his portrait. I enjoy capturing movement of subjects anyway so creating the ripples and movement of the water was the element where I didn't want to put my pencils down. A typical Labrador - water baby - doing what they know. I have been asked to draw many of Blue's family pets so it was a ple...

WATER DOG!

Posted on by Zara Toms
🐾✏️ 💦 Lots of water in this one! 💦✏️🐾 Today I started work tackling the most challenging part about this portrait -the water. Very much looking forward to creating the movement in the water with all of those ripples. Very cute reference photograph to work from.

‘On the pr-owl’ FOR SALE

Posted on by Zara Toms
🦉🖌 'On the pr-owl' 🖌🦉 I LOVED using the vibrant colours for this Barn Owl painting. The stunning Barn Owl photograph was the perfect pose. I created my own background and foreground for this as I knew I wanted a sunset theme so I then went about adding these colours that would naturally be reflecting on the bird to ensure the entire piece fitted together. ...
