I have always loved America and have lived there twice during my studies. I moved to California whilst completing an internship at NASA which was an amazing experience. Since becoming a professional Pet Portrait Artist I have had many clients from the US in multiple states such as Florida, Alabama, Indiana, California, New Mexico, Texas and many more. This has allowed me to gain the experience for drawing a wide range of cat and dog breeds.

'Wedge' - Indiana, USA

This is my color pencil A5 portrait of Wedge the black and white cat. I loved drawing black and white cats because of the high contrast of their fur and their piercing eyes. A5 is a great size for head and neck portraits but it is possible to fit the whole body like this portrait. You can see her original reference picture in my cat portrait gallery. 

'Bella' - Indiana, USA

This beautiful black cat is called Bella. I have drawn her on A4 size paper and used a little touch of white paint to create the vibrant white whiskers. I have drawn many black cats which you can find in my cat portrait gallery.

'Megatron' - Indiana, USA

Megatron is drawn on the A4 (11 x 8) size which is perfect for full body portraits! He is a Maine Coon Turkish mix and has incredible presents to him. I love how it looks as though he is walking off the page! I have other examples of Maine Coons in my cat portrait gallery.
