A little look back at one of my earlier coloured pencil drawings 🧡. I still love that little face and his beautiful orange eye! Drawn with Faber Castell Polychromos on Bristol Board. It's a small piece, just 16cm x 12cm, but there's plenty of detail packed into it. #art

A little throwback to Flossie! 🐶❤️ It's always lovely looking back at previous drawings and I thought I'd share the progress of this one. Drawn using Faber Castell Polychromos on Fabriano Artistico Hot Press paper. Reference photo used with kind permission PFretwell #art

A little puppy progress update using Faber Castell Polychromos & Caran d'Ache Luminance 🐶❤️ From the first few pencil strokes to a face that's really starting to come alive! The eyes, ears, nose and muzzle are finished. I love watching a drawing gradually come to life ❤️✏️.

Another little dog portrait bought to life using Faber Castell Polychromos coloured pencils on Bristol Board paper ✏️ There's something so satisfying about building up the colours & fine details to bring a furry face to life. Amazing how much you can fit into a small drawing

Scruffy but Adorable! There's something rather charming about a dog with a wonderfully scruffy face! ✏️❤️ Head tutorial BSnowdon to finished dog portrait! I completed the drawing using Faber Castell Polychromos & Caran d'Ache Luminance coloured pencils on drafting film. #art

Aren't those eyes just beautiful? 😻🩷 I really enjoyed drawing this with Faber Castell Polychromos coloured pencils on Fabriano 1264 paper. At just 5" x 7", this little portrait is full of detail, from the soft fur to those gorgeous eyes! I'd love to know what you think ❤️🐾

Sometimes it's all about the details! 🐶❤️ I really love this close-up of one of my coloured pencil drawings. Those eyes, the texture of the fur and all those little details are what make animal portraits so enjoyable to create ✏️. Drawn using Faber Castell Polychromos. #art

Another step closer - this little face is starting to come alive ... 👀🐾 The eyes were the starting point and now the ears are done. Still a way to go ... but I think it's starting to look rather cute! 🐶❤️

White on White - but it's not just White is it? Greys, blues, pinks. But it's the eyes on this coloured pencil drawing that makes the portrait stand out. Faber Castell Polychromos on Bristol Board #art

My lemur is FINISHED! I absolutely loved drawing those incredible golden eyes, but the fur was definitely tested my patience! 🤣 Drawn with Faber Castell Polychromos and Caran D'Ache Luminance coloured pencils. Another wildlife portrait finished ... now onto the next ✏️. #art

The eyes are no longer on their own ... now we can see the top of the head and those fabulous ears starting to appear! #art

I'm delighted to share my latest coloured pencil drawing - a beautiful rabbit drawn on drafting film. Faber Castell Polychromos and Caran D'Ache Luminance. I really enjoyed working on the fine details of the fur, from the soft, fluffy areas around the face and neck. 🐇✨️
