Pet Portraits

From the artist...

Hi, I'm Gemma and you might have guessed by now, but I love to draw animals!

I create all my portraits from your photos, which does mean any 'over the Rainbow Bridge' pets can have their moment again too.

I really enjoy hearing about their unique quirks and capturing that sparkle in their eye. The more I know about their character, the more life I can add to their special portrait

I have been running my business since 2017 and I cherish every day I get to draw and run my own business.

To start your own pet portrait or to just to know more, please fill in the contact form and I'll be in touch.

Thanks!

- Gemma

Gemma is an absolute pleasure to deal with and is so talented. We have just received a portrait of our much loved Cockerpoo, Amber, who passed away in May this year. Gemma has captured everything that was Amber in the portrait through her attention to detail and interpretation of the photo's we sent. We couldn't be happier and we are absolutely delighted. Thank you so much Gemma

Portraits created

Portrait gallery

A collage of some of my past pet portrait commissioned paintings and drawings. Each one has a story to tell with those sparkly eyes and button noses!

There are three styles to choose from:

Indian ink | Graphite pencil | Watercolour paints

Indian ink portraits

I hand drawn my ink portraits using a dip pen and indian ink.
This is one of my favourite mediums to use as it's so playful and energetic, with permanent features.

Once it's on the paper, it's not going anywhere, so every stroke counts!

This style of portrait plays to my quick and energetic style of drawing.
The best kind of photos for an ink portrait are energetic and charming.

Graphite pencil portraits

My pencil portraits are hand drawn using my favourite 3B/4B pencils; giving each portrait a combination of light delicate strokes and depth to those shadows.

A pencil portrait is a great way to highlight all of your pet's details and wispy fur if you're looking for a greyscale piece of art.
