Laying down the foundation of a custom pet portrait commission, the start of the journey

Created as always with the amazing Faber-Castell UK polychromos on the brilliant surface which is Clairefontaine (UK) pastel mat.

Latest from the drawing side of life.
Introducing Whiskey the black Labrador, commissioned as a wedding gift, first wedding present I've ever had the pleasure of drawing.
Drawn as always with the brilliant Faber-Castell on the amazing surface that is Clairefontaine

25/07/2026

Meet Whiskey, described by his family as the "softest and kindest dog ever," this beautiful black Labrador is about to turn six! If he’s not seeking attention from everyone he meets, he’s living his absolute best farrier lifestyle—trotting from yard to yard. And his one true rule? If you can throw it, he’ll fetch it (and never tire!).
​Every portrait I draw is special, but being asked to capture a much-loved family pet as a wedding gift is such a unique honour. Knowing this portrait means so much to the newly married couple, and that it will hang in their home as a cherished memory of their special day for a lifetime, is truly the best part of what I do.
Created as always with polychromos on pastelmat.

11/07/2026

Start of the next pet portrait commission. Created as always on the amazing Clairefontaine pastelmat and using Faber-Castell Polychromos colour pencils.
