Many times our dogs can seem like your best friends in the world. They help fill the empty space left behind when your kids leave for college or move to their own homes. What better way to memorialize them than by commissioning an artist to create dog portraits pencil drawings to display in your homes or wallets. With a little research online you can have a permanent reminder of the pet you treasure and love.
People who own champion show dogs as well as those who own mixed breed dogs enjoy having permanent reminders of their favorite pets displayed in their homes. Some of the images created by artists can be created on canvas or in the case of a drawing on high quality paper that is treated to prevent aging for many years. For people on a budget who own not so famous dogs a drawing is usually a good choice.
Using graphite pencils for pet portraits offers the artist a wide range of advantages. The pencils come in two ranges of texture that add to the contrasting of colors and shading. The hard light graphite is best for the fine lines needed around the eyes and for other details such as expression. The soft darker graphite pencils are best for shading and color variance in black and white pictures.
Some artists use charcoal pencils for their work. The charcoal pencil can add depth to the overall picture and highlight special features of face and body. When added to the original graphite drawing charcoal can help to bring out the personality of the animal helping to make it more personal experience for the dog's owner.
Some of these artists also use colored pencils when they do the portrait. Pastels can be used to add to the overall picture and help to beautify those dogs that are multi-colored. Both of these mediums add depth and realism to the portrait you order. The addition of a small amount of color to the coats or background can help to create reality in the pictures.
With the wide variety of mediums available for the portrait of your dog it may be most cost effective to select one made with graphite pencils. Most artists are able to give you very good images in many sizes ranging from wallet sized up to a nine by eleven inch picture suitable for framing. You may be able to negotiate a larger sized portrait with the artist when you place your order if you have photographs that are clear and unblemished.
All serious artists have examples of their work on display. Those found on the internet supply several pages of their work for those shopping for the best choices available. The pages will list the type of paper used as well as the types of mediums used for the portrait. The samples displayed should include head and shoulder portraits as well as action pictures involving the entire body of the animals. Local artists may have albums displaying prints of their work for you to look through when making your decision.
The difference between a photograph of your dog and a hand drawn portrait can be immeasurable. A portrait is something that you may treasure for a lifetime.
