Pet Portraits Commission Information
This is Fergus and he was drawn in graphite pencil to the size of 16 x 12. He was for the same client as Finn's Portrait. I have added quite a few photos of the development of the portrait, with my hand working on the portrait itself, a final scan and the reference photos I used to create the portrait. I hope you enjoy this page of information and if you would like to commission me to draw your pet don't hesitate to email us at any time.
The Pet Portrait in Progress
We try to make sure we take a number of photos of the portrait during the day and display them on our portraits in progress blog for our clients to see. We have daylight easel lamps which allow us to see the painting in pure natural light, and sometimes this lighting effect the photos that we take. This can account for tonal differences between each stage and the final scan below.



The Pencil Drawing with Detail
We scan the majority of our artwork here in the studio, we have an epson scanner, or for the very large drawings we take photographs of the artwork using a Sony DSLR camera, a tripod and two diffused photography lights. Our scans and photographs are always perfect quality if clients require giclee prints of their hand drawn portrait for friends or family.

Client Pet Portraits Reference Photos
Our clients email a range of photographs for us to work with, we use one for the main pose of the portrait and others for detail, backgrounds etc

Client Comments and Feedback
We are always thrilled to read our clients emails, we are in touch with clients via email and sometimes via telephone, skype and texts throughout the entire process. Clients also leave us messages on our portraits in progress blog when they are watching their portrait in progress and also comment on our facebook page too. We try to add snippets of their emails here for you to read, plus you can see more photos of happy clients with the portraits in our client feedback section too.
