I Draw Pet Illustrations Based On Their Personalities
76Kviews
I’ve been creating portraits of people’s pets, but with a bit of a twist. My goal is to capture the “inner” pet in addition to their likeness.
Instead of just focusing on what the critter looks like, I try to capture who they are – their quirks, their habits, and the side of them that only their owner sees. I ask the owners to give me a sense of their pet’s personality, and blammo… funny sometimes happens.
I am very touched when I get laughter as a response, and sometimes tears if the pet has passed, because it means I have hit the mark – I have made the owner’s feelings for their beloved furry friend visible.
Thanks for looking, all you bored pandas out there.
