Archival textured giclee paper with Caran D’Ache pencils and oil pastels
Memorialize your little one in fine, lifelike detail. Our meticulous UK artist Sean puts pencil to paper to create these traditional loose sketch portraits, brimming with heartfelt detail. Soft locks of fur and wet noses come to life with skilfully placed pencil strokes and expertly blended graphite.
These remarkable pencil portraits not only resemble the likeness of your beloved four-legged family member, but look so real you’d swear you could run your fingers through their fur.
Choose graphite for a timeless pet portrait that looks stunning wherever it is displayed. This artist begins your portrait with a traditional sketch, before digitally enhancing and printing onto archival textured giclee paper. He then hand finishes using Caran D’Ache pencils and oil pastels.
Send us your best photo of your dearest friend(s), and in just 21 days, you’ll receive a professional portrait that captures so much more than a photograph ever could – that “welcome home” feeling, those quiet nights on the couch, and those perfect days at the park.
Sketching is the equivalent of a daily jog for me! I’ve drawn, painted and sketched my whole life. I’ve worked with Cosmopolitan, Lonely Planet, Good Housekeeping and Country Living. My favourite breed to sketch are Schnauzers with their wonderfully expressive facial hair. I like sketching pets in a simple expression of form. The fusion of techniques is something I’ve developed over twenty years.
