12 x 9 pencil on Bristol Board
sold, but you can commission
your own pet portrait
A pet portrait in pencil has all the charm of a full color portrait. This seems like the right year to showcase pencil portraits. They are an affordable alternative.
The 12 x 9 drawing is on 2 ply acid-free Bristol smooth surface. It's not really gray at all; more of an off white cream color. This particular paper has two surfaces. One side is coated and slick. I drew on the other side which I believe is better for pencil. The pencil works great for a curly black dog.
The hard part is photographing a black dog. I took the reference photo outdoors in soft light. Think it was overcast.
How do you get a dog to pose? I pretended to play fetch. She got very alert.
How do you get a cat to pose? Haven't a clue.
