Fuzzy Portraits

 

4/5/25 Ernest Theodore

A recent gathering of friends included Ernest Theodore (whom I have sketched a few times before), one of the gentlest giants I know. He probably weighs more than I do, yet he has never tried to knock me over as other large dogs have. Upon arrival at the brewery’s patio, he just laid down and chilled for the rest of the evening, making this little gesture portrait easy.

Speaking of pet portraits, I think I never got around to sharing the one I made last December of Adorable (below), the lovely cat of a friend. I love drawing animals, from life or from photos.

  2. Yeah, I'm not a cat person but I surely appreciate the way you rendered Adorable,, doing such an fine job on the fur and capturing that special cat eye green.

    1. Thank you! I always find cats more challenging than dogs, so I appreciate that!
