🐾 Big news! 🐾

I'm now including color as an option for my pet portraits!

I've spent the last year learning how to use colored pencils, and I'm now comfortable enough to open up color for my pet portrait commissions! (As of this time, people portraits are only available in graphite)

This one was done for a client as a gift 😊 Her grandpa has this same car since 1963 and had never had a photo with it the whole time he's had it. He now has a photo, and a drawing of it as well! ☺ It was neat to have a chance to draw my very first car.

Feel free to message me about a custom sketch💜

Pictured here is great grandparents with their great grandkids and was a gift for grandma and grandpa. ☺ Great grandpa never got to meet them, and great grandma passed away recently, so this drawing was really extra special to do. 💜

It was made from me joining together 10 different photos to create one single reference photo. From start to finish it took me 4 months and countless hours, and was my most challenging and lengthiest sketch to date! Some days I wanted to pull out my hair because the drawing just wasn't looking how I wanted it to, but with time and the help of an eraser, I'm really pleased with the end result.☺ I love getting to make something memorable and meaningful for others. It just makes it all the more fun!

The client said:
"My mother in law cried. She’s so touched. My father in law was speechless. Thank you so much. 😊"

Feel free to message me for a custom sketch. I've got another drawing in the works so stay tuned!

I think one of my favorite things about doing sketches is getting to fill in the blanks. Taking photos with missing pieces and making them complete. Or taking multiple photos and joining them together into one piece.

It's hard sometimes to get the "perfect" photograph. It can be difficult to get everyone smiling at the same time. Or, maybe you didn't get a photo with everyone in it. Or, like in this case, maybe you didn't get your pets whole ear in the picture! Photos don't always turn out exactly how we want them to.

I love being able to make the picture complete through sketching. ☺
