My pencil pet portrait montages are a wonderful way to celebrate all of your pets in a single pencil portrait. Whether you would like to combine multiple dogs, cats or horses together, my montage portraits are carefully designed to capture your pet how you would like to see them in a drawing. View my gallery below to see previous commissions of my bespoke montage drawings.
I can create pencil pet portraits of all types of pets and exotic animals. All I require are a few good quality, in focus photographs. I can create multiple pets within one pet portrait too. If you would like to send your photos to me to check if they are good enough for a portrait, WhatsApp me at anytime.
I can combine photos to draw two dogs together in the same scene and do prefer single photos of the pets to work from as it gives me plenty of information within the photo to draw from. However it is often helpful to take photos of the two pets together. I can mix and match photos of the pets from different photos to gain the best poses and it allows me to see the size relationship between them. Also it helps to keep the lighting the same to help create the realism within in the piece.
My custom pencil pet portraits make a perfect gift for any pet owner. From birthdays and Christmas gifts to anniversaries and other special occasions, my pencil drawings will create a focal point in any room.
I understand just how heart breaking it can be to lose a much loved companion. I have lost a number of cherished and loved pets over the years and it never gets any easier. They become true members of the family. This is why I take such care to help my clients bring back the memories of their pets within my pencil drawings for them to cherish.
My pencil portraits are bespoke, hand drawn drawn portraits, traditionally hand drawn by myself. Every pencil drawing is unique and I work with clients to design the portraits to their specifications. With my montage drawings they are a collation of studies, often one main study in the center and either 1 to 4 or more studies around the edge. My clients love my pencil montages as I am able to depict their pet in various poses and in different stages through their lives from puppy hood to adult. My montage drawings are also fabulous to show your dog doing different actives like agility, fly-ball and field work to show poses and relaxing in lots of different poses.
Photographing pets is not easy! I have photographed many dogs for clients over the years and end up taking around 50 photos to make sure I have a few decent good photos to choose from. If you don’t get a good photo right away, keep your camera handy for a few days and take snaps every now and again when they are in different poses, this really helps to get the perfect shot for the drawing.
Photographs are key for the basis of a good portrait, one of the most important parts of the process. The best way to take photos is outside getting close to your subject. Get down on their level taking as many photos as you possibly can. Don’t be afraid to take an abundance of photos!Message or email them to me at anytime. If you are interested in commissioning a pencil drawing, you are more than welcome to email me photos of your pet at anytime. I am very much looking forward to working with you soon!
