I have always had a personal little soft spot for this drawing. When I saw the original photograph I just had to draw it...and loved every last second of it. I used Pilot Croquis sketching pencils beginning with the H grade to roughly draw and block in the main areas of shadow. The B grade pencil was then used to further develop the the shadows and the beginnings of some of the more detailed areas. The B grade pencil was used to finalise the shadows and details. A soft putty rubber is used throughout to help preserve the highlight areas and all 3 grades of pencil were used to finalise the illusion of fur. Outside of ArtWanted.com this portrait has proven to be a very popular choice for greeting cards and postcards as well as prints of various sizes. This portrait is now available for sale through the ArtWanted.com Print Program. Copyright © Paul Meeks, The Pet Portrait Painter and The Greeting Card Gallery, 1996 - 2012. All rights reserved.
