More pooch portraits!

This is my latest pet portrait I completed as a Mothers Day Gift.

I'm benefiting from doing these pet portraits as they are helping further develop my fine art skills whilst helping me gain further knowledge and understanding of light shadow and form and also scale and composition.

Stay tuned as I'm well on my way with the next one...

Mug Shot... The Alien Warrior

Passport Photograph Example...

Inspired by various websites over the past few days my crazy head produced this freaky looking thing! I often wonder if i have a problem... or just an interestingly strange imagination?!

I quite like this guy, i roughed out a scribbly silhouette, discovering interesting shapes as i went along, then built up the shape and form, later applying tones and a colour overlay. Its supposed to look a tad rough highlighting key features as i continue to loosen my art style. I like the mystical aura the creature is giving off perhaps conserving power, posing for his passport photo... or preparing for a devastating attack... who knows!

I wouldn't recommend sticking around to find out!

Latest Clients Pet Portrait...

Hey Guys!

Here's my latest Pet Portrait for one of my Clients.

This one was drawn on A3, mounted and framed.


Whilst producing these artworks I am finding myself gaining further understanding of light and shadow and defining my Fine Art skills.

I'm really enjoying it!

My 1st Clients Pet Portrait...

My clients pooch 'Junior' has been sketched in pencil with a strong attention to detailing to capture the character and charm of his beloved pet.

This piece is a complete 'one off' signed and dated and drawn on A4 high quality paper. Afterwards I framed and mounted the piece in a 14"x11" thick edged black frame.

My client said this about his portrait:

"Thank you very much that is fantastic... the detail is amazing, you really have captured him." - Liam.

Framed Artwork

As I love everything wildlife I am currently working on a selection of Pencil Sketches which I intend on Framing, Mounting and Selling.

Here is an example of the Swan I drew a few days ago framed and mounted.

Sketch: A5 - 21x14.8cm - HB Pencil.
Frame: 10x8in - 25.4x20.3cm.

I am planning to sell my pieces and advertise in local businesses. I also do Pets and Animals of choice upon Request.

Sketchbook things!

These are just a few things I've been doing in my sketchbook recently.

I particularly like the Hamster life Drawing which inspired me to create a cute little Hamster Character - Evan!

The pigeons where making the most of the "Fat Balls" in my garden (eating the lot) hence the awkward positions.

The weird creature was inspired watching my partner playing on Dead Space!
