Pet Sketches - Pancake

It was with Pancake's picture I decided to really lean into only doing close-ups of faces. Sometimes trying to draw the whole body is a challenge! I made a mask to sponge paint on for his glorious whiskers.

Pet Sketches - Oswald

2025 was the year of the doodle dog! I think I must have drawn 5 or 6 doodles and silly Oswald was the last of them :-) His different coloured eyes really threw me off!

Pet Sketches - Huntress

More than one picture from 2025 had me wishing the drawing would never end. I don't know if that makes sense--I just enjoyed making the picture so much that I was a little sad when the picture was finished :-D Huntress' portrait had some challenges that were resolved once I realized one of the eyes was a little off.

Pet Sketches - A

I drew a cartoony version of A back in 2023 and his human returned for a realistic version. The pose was challenging, but in the end, worked out very well!

Pet Sketches - Alfie

A deluxe sketch for Alfie! He ran away from home, but happily returned :-)

Pet Sketches - Bigsby

Bigsby's portrait is one that took a while to ideate, and many conversations with one of his humans, but the result was so worth it! So many layers came together to make a very personal picture.

Pet Sketches - Sterling

Photos don't do Sterling's portrait just--this paper piece used many layers of vellum to create the water and glitter accented his coat and sand!
