🐾✏ Lola🐾✏ A couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure of drawing Lola. As you can see a super smiley face, full of loads of expression.

🐾✏ Alfie 🐾✏ I can now share with you this portrait I completed a few months ago :D. How cute is he?! I LOVE drawing curly fur and his colouring was lovely to capture. Lots of layers and blending to add as much depth to the fur. Another very smiley photo to work from <3. - - - - A4 (8.3" x 11.7") Pastel Portrait

Meet Dancer

NEXT MONTH ON PATREON!

Posted on June 22, 2021June 22, 2021 by Zara Toms

🐾✏ DOG EYE ✏🐾 I have so many tutorials planned for Patreon. I am always thinking of new content to create from focus studies to full length projects. This dog eye is something I have wanted to upload for a while. I LOVE creating these studies - it really takes the pressure off of full length projects and pet portraits. I love my pet portrait commissions, working on a...

Jake drawing vs photo

Posted on June 14, 2021June 14, 2021 by Zara Toms

🐾✏ Jake photo vs drawing 🐾✏ I loved everything about this reference photograph. Mainly the smiley expression <3. When I am asked to draw from photographs there are elements I can alter and change. Using artistic license on a drawing to create artwork that is unique to the artist. Removing collars and harness is a common thing I am asked to do which was...

Alfie & Rodney

Posted on June 10, 2021 by Zara Toms

The various paper colour options and the ability to custom any background colour means we can tailor the portrait to best suit that pet. These two paper colours, dark grey and brown are the most popular. The dark gr...
