Draw My Pet!

Do you have a great photo for a pet portrait?

Each drawing takes me roughly 10 hours. It takes multiple layers of color combined with various techniques to capture the textures and different color shades.

When you buy an original hand drawn pet portrait from me you are not only getting a beautiful drawing of your beloved pet, but supporting a great cause. Some kids are sports kids, or math wizards. I’m an art kid! Each drawing gives me a great sense of accomplishment and pride.

Thank you for everyone who has commissioned a drawing!

Drawings will come framed in a matted frame. Typically Black frame with white matte.
