"Bert" Norwich Terrier Pet Portrait in Pencil

This portrait is one of two commissioned by a client in Ireland. It is of a norwich terrier called Bert. The client commissioned this portrait together with that of Ernie for her sister's birthday.
Both portraits were the same size 25 x 20cm (10" x 8") with graphite pencils on paper. The reference photographs were particularly clear and the client wanted to keep the dog's tag with his name in the portrait.

The client had a fantastic photograph of Bert as a reference. I had a lot of detail to go by and this makes the portrait so much easier to work on. It was a pleasure especially as Bert is such a cute character too. The tag was a nice touch of subtly adding Bert's name into the drawing.
The portrait turned out really well and the client's sister was very happy with the result. Read client feedback below.
