Second horse portrait started

This is the pencil outline of the second horse portrait I mentioned; it is of the same Westphalian mare but from a different reference photo and will also be drawn in pastels.

I have been commissioned to draw two (different) pastel paintings of a bay German mare whose father's sire is the famous Westphalian stallion 'Pilot'. Here's a scan of the work in progress:

Car pastel portrait update

Here's a new scan of the pastel painting of the lovely blue Corvette. It is an entirely new experience and rather different from drawing pets and animals. Every tiny detail needs to be perfect otherwise it looks wrong. A bit of a challenge but I am enjoying it.

Cat pastel pet portrait finished

The pastel painting of Bonnie the cat is now finished. Considering that I had to transplant this pretty cat's head onto another cat's body and then edit it, using the photos of Bonnie that were available, I am very pleased with the result. I hope her owners will be too! :o)
