This is the latest pencil portrait I have been working on recently. This is an Airedale/Paterdale Terrier cross dog called Dave, being completed in coloured pencils. I was lucky enough to meet Dave and take some photographs of him, and got some great images, with lots of natural colour and detail, which is highly recommended.

I always begin every pencil portrait by laying down the base tones. Once all these layers have been applied, I then begin by adding in the fine detail to achieve the realism in all my portraits.

Coloured pencil portraits are created on acid free, archival paper using lightfast quality pencils and if framed correctly, a pencil portrait can last a lifetime, if protected & cared for correctly.
