![]() I'm really pleased with it I wanted it to be of a 'significant' size and not look cramped. Hi Melanie, You have captured their personalities beautifully. I am so pleased that my drawing will bring comfort to Barry and remind him of beautiful memories he had with his very special dog Mike. Barry very kindly emailed me a photo of him with his portrait which he also posted on his Facebook page. Such a huge shock for Barry and his family. He told me a little about Mike aloong with how he passed at only 8 years old, very suddenly over night, without any warning of being unwell. My idea was to show both stages of Mike's life in one drawing so that Barry could remember Mike when younger too. Barry sent over a few photos of Mike, a stunning one of him as a puppy plus one of him when he was older. Nicolaīarry, from Victorian, Australia, sent an email via my website asking if I would be able to draw his dog Mike, his very special Border Collie who had recently passed away. I’m literally speechless! What a fantastic job you have done, the portrait is amazing! You have captured them perfectly! It will be something we can treasure and look at forever! Thank you so much. Nicola emailed her reactions on my pencil drawings. It was a 24 x 18 pencil drawing on Italian Fabriano paper. I have added a few photos in my drawings gallery below of my pencil portrait, along with my pencils to show scale. We decided it would be lovely for all three dogs to be sitting in grass in Nicola's garden which brings them all together. She had a few photos of Deano and Ole which I could put together in the composition at the design stage, however Nicola took a number of photos of Neo at the correct angle and eye level so he would fit in with my composition. Sadly Deano and Ole had passed away, however Nicola wanted to remember all three of her Great Danes together. Nicola and her family emailed in 2017 asking if we would be able to create a portrait of their three Great Dane Dogs Deano, Ole and Neo. I shall be getting you to draw a few more of my dogs over the coming year! So thrilled. It’s amazing - you have caught her perfectly - thank you so much. Kim telephoned me personally to thank me for the portrait and you can read one of Kim's emails below too. You can see a few photos below, the final scan, the portrait with my pencils on, the portrait framed and one of Kim with the drawing displayed in situ. She wanted a 12" x 10" pencil drawing of him along with the pencil portrait framed. ![]() ![]() Kim, from the USA, commissioned me to draw her gorgeous cat Tyson, who had sadly passed away. I create my artwork from my purpose built art studio in my garden, along with my husband Nicholas Beall who is also a portrait artist who paints dogs in oils on canvas for commission too. I love to capture animals on paper in a classic, timeless way. I have been a commissioning pet portrait artist for 25 years, more recently specialising in graphite pencil. I have collated a few of my personal favourite pencil portrait commissions here from over the last few years. I am very lucky to be able to sit at my drawing desk every day and draw clients dogs, cats and horses. All of the pencil pet portraits below have been hand drawn by myself.
