Here's the finished piece of the bulldog. It's the smallest pet portrait I've attempted, and I'm pleased with the level of detail I could achieve. I'm hesitant to work any smaller than this though as I fear the details may be compromised.

I typically enjoy working with Canson Mi-Teintes paper for charcoal, but for this piece, I decided to experiment with pastelmat paper.
It posed some challenges, particularly in filling the tooth of the paper and also because I chose a white paper to work with for a dark subject, but I still enjoyed the process.

The reference photo of Emmi was graciously shared by my friend, Britta Feldmann, who is a cop by profession and a phenomenal photographer by passion.

Title: EMMI
Medium: Charcoal on Pastlemat
Size: 9x12''

SAPHIRA
Medium: Soft Pastel
Size: 18.5x25.5’’

While I have worked with many human portraits, a deeper connection emerges when I draw animals. This connection allows me to capture the essence of my subject with more depth and emotion. Spending over 50 hours on these pieces goes beyond mere replication, it intertwines me with their energies.

Saphira, a German mare, became my subject of art and many thanks to a brilliant photographer, Britta. Horses, with their elegance and spirited nature, have always captivated my heart, and this artwork fuels my passion to capture more of their majestic beauty.

Tombe la pluie - Theespookje

Would you do that meme with an artistic semi| abstract photo of a woman vs one of a full portrait from your Lidl catalogue because there's more details, colours?
There has been a huge resurgence of people deeming art>beauty, accuracy as a criteria, common since modern art appeared on the art scene, but is worrying as an absolute and a society level of art, media and global literacy.

Tombe la pluie - Theespookje

Just like digital art is not easier than traditional art (I find it the other way round for instance). Would you say writing a book on word and not by hand is cheating? Bfr. If technical, frame by frame, apparent complexity was the only goal of art, we would have stopped long ago... Being realistic stopped being the goal long ago, if it were ever the sole goal (spoiler alert: no)

As this was only my second time drawing a cat, I faced some challenges in accurately portraying Trickster's colors and textures. I also feel that working on a larger scale can indeed test one's patience, but I am thrilled to have completed the piece and am quite satisfied with the outcome. It was an invaluable learning experience that has helped me to understand some nuances of working with cat fur.

Sharing a picture of myself with my first cat drawing! Although I’ve been drawing for many years, I created this piece a couple of years ago when I first ventured into pet portraiture. I was truly pleased with the result, and I’d love to hear your thoughts!
