How to Draw a Pet Portrait From a Photo
A graphite pet portrait comes together in a set order: a sharp photo, light proportions, values from light to dark, then the eyes and fur. Each step, with the pencil for it.

Prints and cards of travel posters, cats, dogs and lettered quotes, with a journal on making and selling art.
