My First Pet Portrait…the Beginning of my Path
This is my very first pet portrait, and I couldn’t think of a better subject than Floppy, my second dog. He’s gentle, kind, and has this incredible way of caring for each and every one of us. We all love him and treasure the joy he brings to our family. I definitely want to create a hand-drawn portrait for him!
For this portrait, I used a mix of wax pastels and colored pencils. I’ve fallen in love with the texture of wax pastels—they let me play with bold and soft strokes, helping to bring out all the emotions that make Floppy so special.

What a beautiful way to start your journey with pet portraits! Floppy sounds like such a loving and gentle companion, and it’s clear how much he means to you. The mix of wax pastels and colored pencils sounds like a perfect choice to capture his personality—bold yet soft, just like him. It’s so special that you’re creating a hand-drawn portrait to honor him. I can’t wait to see how your skills evolve as you continue with your art—this is just the beginning of something amazing!
