I Draw Hyperrealistic Animal Portraits Based On Photos

I draw portraits in pastel, based on photos. I started drawing in pastel 4 years ago and it was like love at first sight!
I mainly draw horses and pets.

I’m trying to be as realistic as I can, thanks to my pastel pencils. I can spend hours and hours on one drawing, without realizing it.

First, juste an example of a drawing, without the photo reference

I tried to superimpose pieces of photos reference with my drawings, just for fun… They’re quite close, what a relief!
