Meet Dod

Posted on by Zara Toms
🐾✏ Dod ✏🐾 Last year I had the pleasure of drawing Dod in pastels. She is sadly no longer with us and her owners miss her so much.

NEXT MONTH ON PATREON!

Posted on 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...
