      Creating custom hand-drawn 8"x10" portraits of pet dogs. When supplied with 1-5 photos of the dear subject, I ink the lines for a Quick Sketch, add some shading for a Shaded Drawing, and then pop in colored pencil for the Detailed Portrait. Suitable for framing, each portrait can be a fun gift, happy keepsake or touching memorial of important members of the family.
