PENCIL PORTRAITS I found myself doing a lot of pictures for lost pets, fond memories, and breeders pictures. I find it very relaxing and a drawing like you see below usually takes me a few days to a few weeks based on the complexity of the sketch. I prefer to work in pencil and may from time to time bring some colour in overtop, but as a rule prefer the amount of flexibility and control I have with this medium. I do ask for the following if you are interested in a sketch: Clear, clean pictures to work from. Hard copies are preferred. I must have a good shot of the eyes if applicable - if you don't have the eyes, it could be anyone's dog. Specific instructions if you wish anything to be enhanced, modified or omitted from a picture i.e. collars, ear placement, coat length, etc. I have been noticing these images in circulation and I am asking all who view these pages, to respect my hard work by not taking one of my pieces for your own use. Many of these images are bought and paid for by my customers,  and it is their property to do with as they please. Many of these are Champion dogs, business stock, which need to be recognized EACH & EVERY time the picture is used, to give credit to the dog's breeders. These images are not public domain, they are restricted for authorized use only. Many of these images are used in corporate logos and therefore give the owners legal rights to go after those who use them.
On this side are my more advanced sketches, where I learned to draw shadow and not the actual hair. Sounds simple, but it was incredibly hard to shake the habit!	Below are a section of my older drawings. I love looking at them to see how my style has changed throughout the years!
