Mabel. 14x17” charcoal and pencil. 🥰
I first drew Mabel back in 2018! (swipe to see). She has now passed on and her owners wanted a second portrait, this time in charcoal. I love how it turned out ☺️

Bringing Salty to life from a not so great reference photo was tricky…. (Swipe to see what I was working with 😅) But I’m more than happy with the results!!

Do you think I captured him??

Diego! 😍😍😍

⬅️ Swipe to see a happy customer ☺️ This was a surprise birthday gift ❤️

Portraits really do make the BEST presents (and I’m not even saying that out of bias 😆).

Also, I love a charcoal Bengal!! This is the fourth one I’ve done and although they have beautifully colourful fur, I always think they come out wonderfully in black and white 😍

“Pongo” 10x12”.

Soft pastel and pastel pencils on pastelmat.

Tricky start to this one as had to combine two different photos, but very happy with how he’s turned out! The photo quality was great so managed to get a good amount of detail despite the smaller size. 👍😊

I have this lovely little chocolate lab pastel drawing kicking about, so I thought I’d offer it up to the highest bidder - all proceeds going to for their earthquake appeal. Please DM me with your bid and I’ll announce the winner on Monday morning! (FYI I’m not looking for massive amounts here, just whatever you can spare and it could be yours!). Feel free to share to any chocolate lab lovers! 💕

Here is Brian’s finished portrait. I absolutely LOVED creating this piece. The fur was exceptionally complex and time consuming but I love how it’s turn out so much! Also really want to do more tweed bow ties now 😂
