This colored pencil pet portrait of my dog, Scrappy Doo, captures him sitting in his most regal position — and he absolutely knew how to pose for the camera! You can tell from the photos that he was ready for his portrait.
I created this piece using colored pencils on black paper, a technique that allows the colors to really stand out against the dark background. I especially loved using this style to capture Scrappy Doo’s beautiful brindle coat, bringing out the warm tones and subtle variations in his coloring.
The contrast between the dark paper and vibrant colored pencil creates a bold, almost dramatic look that suits Scrappy Doo’s very serious and distinguished pose perfectly. This piece is a fun example of how choosing a different medium and style can bring out a completely different side of a pet’s personality.
