Pet Portraits

Meet Millie

Posted on November 6, 2019November 5, 2019 by Zara Toms

Millie is one of the six A3 (11.7" x 16.5") colour pencil portraits I was asked to draw. I'm told that Millie have never liked having her photograph taken and always barks so the photograph they managed to snap for this portrait was a bonus :). As with Oscar, Millie was led down in the reference and as as result there wasn't any real part of her chest for me to replicate. So I used other refe...

Charlie was one of the 6 A3 colour pencil drawings I have had the pleasure of drawing. I have just finished George which was the last of the this furry gang.

He had a wonderful happy life and spoilt rotten as all furb...

Harry is one of the six furbabies I was asked to draw. I have just finished George which was the last and a Black Labrador. I shall post the other finished portraits here over the coming days :).

Earlier this year I was asked to draw Bailey. A stunning chocolate Cocker Spaniel <3. The Top KnotI am so lucky to be asked to draw so many Spaniels. I love their curls and their eyes are always so expressive. Bailey has a wonderful top knot which most Spaniels have. My 3 year old Sprocker has one but its very long and straight. I have good fun giving her many hair styles haha. I a...

Sometimes Different…

Posted on October 24, 2019October 23, 2019 by Zara Toms

I am very lucky to get asked to draw a wide variety of pets and wildlife. But sometimes I get asked to draw something that is completely out of my comfort zone. These portraits I love! It's during these that you get to learn new skills, try new tools to achieve a specific texture or effect you want. This was definitely a piece for that. My must have tools..I could not have completed this piec...

Posted on October 20, 2019October 20, 2019 by Zara Toms

I had the pleasure of drawing Violet and Cara a few months ago. Having 2 Staffies myself I just adore drawing the breed especially their smiley faces <3. Sadly, Cara is no longer with us.

I can now share this drawing with you know that his owner has been given the portrait for her surprise birthday gift :). Scout is a Sheltie and has done very well in his agility career.

So to make the portrait more personal it ...
