Beloved Companions Custom Design Requests.
Looking for something truly meaningful? A custom coloured pencil portrait is a one of a kind way to celebrate the love you share with your pet. Each piece is hand drawn with care and intention, capturing your companion’s personality, soulful expression and that quiet spark that makes them them. Whether it’s a heartfelt gift or a lasting keepsake for yourself, this is a beautiful way to honour a bond that changed your life.
These are more than pet portraits. They are gentle tributes to the beloved dog or cat who became our family.
Every portrait is built slowly, layer by layer to capture not only how your pet looks, but who they are. The softness of their fur, the light in their eyes, the expression that feels unmistakably y theirs. Whether your companion is still curled at your feet or forever held in your heart, your piece is created with patience, reverence and deep respect for the love your share.
Every portrait is created as a one-of-a-kind keepsake of love, preserving memory and keeping their spirit close in a way that feels true. If you feel called to celebrate your companion in this way, I would be honoured to create a portrait for you.
Each portrait is:
🐾Hand drawn on high quality art paper
🐾Focused on the head and neck
🐾Created from a high resolution reference photo (or photos)
🐾Backgrounds are not included by default, but you are welcome to reach out to me if you would like to as something to match your pet’s personality.
Have more than one beloved companion (like I do…a house full of love) you’d. love to see in a single portrait. I’d love to help. Reach out to me and we and create a composition that feels just right for them all.
🐾The Details:
Includes original colour pencil portrait on artist smooth paper. Frame not included. Shipping is an additional cost.
A high quality, clear up close photo is a must (so I can capture the details that show your pet’s personality.) A photo of the chest up is preferred; feel free to send me as many photos as you like.
If there’s anything specific you would like me to include, focus on or leave out just let me know. So when you look at it, it feels like you’re right there with them again, held in that moment in time. 🐾
My pet portraits focus on dogs and cats, but erred animal with a heart and a story is welcome here. If you have beloved companion outside of these, a bunny, a horse, or other cherished friend, I would love to hear about them. Please reach out to me and we can explore creating something meaningful together.
Because each portrait is created specifically for you and your pet, customs pieces are non-refundable.
Portrait Timeline & Process
Each portrait is lovingly created by hand and I typically allow about 4-6 weeks to complete your custom piece. If you have a special date or need it sooner, just let me know- I’ll do my best to make it work!
Once your portrait is finished, I’ll carefully package it up and drop it in the mail to you. You’ll receive a notification and a tracking number when it’s on the way.
Important Note on Style
Each portrait is a heartfelt, hand drawn interpretation of your pet in my own colour pencil style. I do my very best to capture their unique expression and personality, these portraits are an artistic interpretation- not an exact replica of the photo reference, please note that details can vary slightly depending on the photo quality and the natural flow of my artistic process.
I’ll always stay true to your pet’s spirit and likeness, but little variations will naturally occur throughout the creative process.things like lighting, resolution and angles can also affect how details translate to paper.
🐅Looking for something Wild 🐘
While my commissions focus on dogs & cats, I am always drawing wildlife, its what I’m most drawn too (pun fully intended 😁)
Bears, tigers, elephants, giraffes or another wild souls are very close to my heart. If you’ve been dreaming of a wildlife portrait in my style, please reach out. I’d love to dream up what’s possible with you and create something truly meaningful together. 🐾
