Graphite Pencil Drawing: Brody, the Yorkshire Terrier Mix

This is a graphite pencil drawing I did of my new old dog, Brody. They said he was a yorkshire terrier. Yeah, sure………a 20 pound yorky!!! They said he’s five. He acts like he’s 10. He doesn’t know how to play, but after 5 months of being here, is willing to try. He lived in a [...]

Graphite Pencil Drawing – Pomeranian

This is a graphte pencil drawing of my friend Marty’s male pomeranian, Rascal. It’s a perfect name for him! Marty says the dog is housebroken, and…………maybe he is, maybe not. One thing this little pom  isn’t is neutered. Housebroken or not, he isn’t allowed in my house any longer unless Marty is holding him! It’s for [...]

Graphite Pencil Drawing: I’ve been pugged!

Here’s a graphite pencil drawing design inspired by my neighbor’s little pug, Hannah. She’s the silliest little dog ever and we laugh at her antics every day. I love her. I’m wondering if this might make a good t-shirt design.  Any comments? What do you think?  

Graphite Pencil Drawing/Gouache Painting: In honor of my dog

I know I posted this graphite pencil drawing awhile back, but… this posting is in honor of Keebler Alf’s life. He died on Friday, and I guess I’m still in shock and grieving. Oh sure, he was just a mutt, and he was 18 years old, but was in what I thought was excellent health. I [...]

Graphite Pencil Drawing: Irish Setter Quick Sketch

This is a quick graphite pencil sketch of Blue, one of my neighbor’s Irish Setters. Like most Irish Setter dogs, he’s terrific, friendly, always waggin’ that big tail. He was staring at me for attention when I snapped his photo, and when I saw the photo I had to laugh right out loud. Blue has one of [...]

Graphte Pencil Drawing: Color added to the siamese cat drawing

Just for the fun of it, I had to go back and add some color to the graphite pencil drawing I did earlier this month of Twoshe, the crosseyed siamese cat. It was those eyes that were demanding it. She was so darn lovable. I still miss her, years later.

Graphite Pencil Drawing: Siamese Cat

This graphite pencil drawing is of Twoshe, the siamese cat who adopted us years ago. I loved the way she was looking directly at me, despite those crossed eyes! I might have to add some color to this drawing, especially to highlight her eyes.

Graphite Pencil Drawing: Calico Cat in the Sun, Quick Sketch

Zoe, the short haired calico cat who has befriended the squirrel family, was taking a quick bath on the rock in the garden. I had to do this graphite pencil drawing of her very quickly, sketching her in first. I knew the trees and shrubs would remain long after she left the scene. However, I [...]
