Glossy pencil drawing

by Beth Create your order now

Memorialize your little one in fine, lifelike detail. Our meticulous UK artist Beth uses ink and pencil to create these detailed portraits, brimming with heartfelt detail. Soft locks of fur and wet noses come to life with skilfully placed pencil and glossy ink.

Choose ink and pencil for a timeless pet portrait that looks stunning wherever it is displayed. Pencil drawings are available mounted on white, grey or beige paper. Unlike a pencil only portrait, adding ink gives a sharper glossier finish.

Send us your best photo of your dearest friend, 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.

The Artist

I love drawing Spaniels, Golden Retrievers, Labradors, Setters, Beagles, tricolour and black pets. I’m a full time professional artist and work from my home studio in Canterbury, kept company by my cat and four degus! I love to work in polychromos pencil to capture the undertones and shine of the fur.
