Custom Colour Pet Portraits from Your Photos

Vibrant Colour Pencil Pet Portraits, Hand-Drawn with Exceptional Detail

I create custom pet portraits in the UK, working from your photos to produce highly detailed, hand-drawn artwork. Whether you’re looking for a graphite or colour pencil portrait, each piece is carefully created to capture your pet’s unique character. Portraits are also available as memorial drawings for pets who have passed.

Each portrait is carefully created using professional-grade colour pencils to capture the true character, colouring, and expression of your pet. Through layers of rich tones and fine detail, I build depth and realism to bring your pet to life on paper.

Every piece is drawn by hand from your chosen photographs, with a focus on accuracy, texture, and those small details that make your pet unique. The result is a lifelike and timeless portrait, full of warmth and personality.

Perfect as a meaningful gift or a lasting keepsake, these colour pencil portraits are designed to be treasured for years to come.

Photography Tips for Pet Portraits

A clear, natural reference photo helps capture the unique details that make your pet special. Good lighting, sharp focus and a natural pose allow me to create the most accurate and expressive portrait.

Natural Light

Take photos near a window or outdoors for natural colours and clear detail.

Eye Level

Photograph your pet at their eye level for a more natural portrait.

Sharp Eyes

Clear, well-lit eyes help capture your pet’s expression and personality.
