New Pet Portrait started

I have just recently started a new Pet Portrait, a coloured pencil portrait of a Boxer. I love drawing Boxers, they have such expressive faces! Here is Harley:

Arillus has had another update on my latest coloured pencil pet portrait. I have added some of his chest fur to bring him in line with Pebbles & Pickles. Here is the portrait currently:

Pet Portrait completed - Pebbles, Pickles & Arillus

I have finally completed the coloured pencil pet portrait of Pebbles, Pickles & Arillus. It is 12" x 16" and was quite a challenge, particularly Arillus. He was the first white dog i've ever drawn in coloured pencil and on white paper! Here it is:

And all together, (L-R) Pebbles, Arillus & Pickles.

Pet Portrait changes

The main reason I put the work in progress of my portraits up on my blog is so my clients can watch how their pet portrait is progressing and so they can ask for any changes as early on in the portrait's development as possible. This is because it is easier to make changes at the earlier stages.

The owner of Pickles, the Boxer I am currently painting in coloured pencil asked me to change one of her eyes to make it brighter. I thought I would put up the before and after photographs of the changes.

Pickles, Pebbles & Arillus - update

Here is another update on Pebbles, Pickles & Arillus. This portrait is taking longer than I thought it would due to the detail required with the coloured pencils. I was hoping to have it completed before we moved but obviously this isn't going to happen, but it will be completed by the end of January. Here it is so far:
