Final artwork of a coloured pencil blue merle shetland sheepdog pet commission

Brindle Boxer dog in Coloured pencils

POPPY
8" X 10"

A beautiful capture of a much loved and much missed Boxer named Poppy.
This reference image is one of those rare photographs where I only need to work from just 1 photo as there was very little adapting required except to lighten the face up which would balance the portrait out and remove the blue cast on the white areas.

Created: September 2014

REFERENCE IMAGE

" An amazingly talented lady who brings your precious furbabies to life.
Having lost our gorgeous Poppy very suddenly in June aged only 6 having her portrait done seemed a fitting tribute.
Karen has managed to capture her soul and we are so happy to have our little girl home x "

Red Boxer portrait in Coloured pencils by Karen M Berisford

COMPLETED PORTRAIT:

Here is a photograph of myself holding Poppy's portrait for scale. This is the smallest of my coloured pencil portrait sizes, but a good size for individual portraits.

A second Order:

Here is the latest portrait that I was asked to produce for the owner. This was also completed in Coloured pencils and was designed to match Poppy's stance
