Sirius & Bella's pastel pawtrait has been delivered so I can now share it with you. This is a large 16x12" pawtrait in pastel and was an absolute joy to create. Finding all the right colours to draw a black dog without it looking flat is one of my favourite things to do.

An experimental coloured pencil commission of the very handsome Jaeger requested as a gift that I completely forgot to share as it was kept as a surprise for a while! I don't usually offer coloured pencil drawings as commissions, but I enjoyed picking them up again after a long break... Especially for this gorgeous boy 🥰
