Animal Portraits & Art Tuition

Where pencil meets obsession

Hyper-realistic portraits in graphite and colour pencil. Every piece is a study in patience, precision, and the particular light in an animal's eye.

Commissions

Each portrait is drawn from your photographs, layer by layer, until the piece has the weight and presence of the subject itself. Dogs, horses, cats, wildlife — if it has a face worth capturing, it's worth drawing properly.

Graphite Portrait

Pencil on high-quality cartridge paper. Ideal for capturing texture and character — fur, feathers, wrinkles. Timeless and striking unframed or framed.
