Here's a dog portrait of a mixed-breed dog. My client said she was told that Chester was a Labrador/Dalmatian mix. I think I see some Great Dane in him, though - especially in his snout area. But whatever he is, he's a gorgeous dog, and I really enjoyed drawing him. I used 2B and 4B Tombow Mono-Homograph pencils and a mechanical pencil for this artwork. Blending with chamois, erasing and highlights were done with a PenTel Clik-eraser and General's kneaded rubber eraser. Paper size: 11"x14," Strathmore 500 Series Bristol 2 ply paper with Plate (very smooth) surface. To see more dog pencil portraits, go here and here.

Hi Darla, I came across your site here whilst surfing about the web and thought I'd leave a wee message to say that I like your work, especially you pet portraits. As well as much skill... you must have the patience of a saint to create these in graphite... haha. Great work and keep creating, Chris
Thank you, Chris. I have to confess - I've been known to have some temper tantrums! Love your site - your contact/pricing page is exactly what I've had in mind to do for myself. It's very reasonable and personable!
