Pet Portraits

New video tonight!

Posted on by Zara Toms
Later tonight at 6pm I have a new video going live on my Facebook page and YouTube channel. This type of video I don't typically share just because of the editing out all the pauses so there isn't long gaps between me sharpening pencils, swapping colours and replying to messages.

Oliver in progress.

Posted on by Zara Toms
I have got entirely engrossed in Oliver's portrait. I have two Staffies myself and they dream a lot!

Meet Archie :)

Posted on by Zara Toms
I have had the absolute pleasure of drawing two more gorgeous Spaniels. Last year I was asked to draw six beautiful dogs; Lily, Charlie, Harry, Millie, Oscar and George. I then got to capture them in a large acrylic painting. Well, the family then added Archie and his brother Ollie to the furbaby pack and I recently had the pleasure of drawing them to. They both look so similar and both have ver...
