Pet Portraits From Photos: The Process

1. Choosing the Perfect Photo

When you commission a pencil pet portrait from me, the process begins by selecting the perfect reference photo of your pet. To assist clients in choosing the ideal reference photo, I have put together a helpful Photography Guide that outlines the key elements of a good photo.

High-resolution images with good lighting are essential to capturing the true spirit and personality of your pet. The reference photos should be clear, detailed, and well-lit, enabling me to create a custom pet portrait that showcases every intricate detail of your pet's fur and features.

2. Showcasing Variety

3. Reference, Vision and Artistry

Once I have the reference photo, I embark on the artistic journey of creating a one-of-a-kind custom pet portrait drawing. Using high-quality graphite pencils, I meticulously bring your pet to life on paper, paying attention to every detail, from the texture of their fur to the expression in their eyes, nose, and ears.

Employing traditional techniques and a keen eye for detail, I bring your custom pet portrait to life on high-quality acid-free paper. My commitment to excellence and years of experience ensure that each drawing conveys the physical appearance and playful spirit of your furry companion.

When the custom pet portrait is complete, I will send you a high-resolution digital file of the artwork to make sure you’re happy with the outcome prior to delivery.
