Painted Portraits
This portfolio is dedicated to my digital paintings which are offered as a commission option, majority being past work completed for clients. These are drawn in procreate on my iPad, using oil paint inspired brush sets to give a look of a traditional painting. I have experience painting on canvas as well, and use knowledge from that skill to complete these pieces. I focus on texture, lighting, and do my best to capture the likeness and life of the subjects in these pieces. I love to take special care into making their eyes feel alive.

Semi-Realistic Paintings
This section of paintings is for the semi-realistic painted sketch commission option. Some of these are past work for clients and others are memorial pieces of my own pets. These are drawn digitally in procreate on my iPad, where I colour a sketch in a painting style while keeping the lines of the sketch intact- while the painted portraits are lineless. Less photorealism, but more artistic license and stylisation. I focus on the animal’s most notable features to maintain their likeness while simplifying the form.
Wolfgang - Fancy Rat
Wes - Westie
Reno & Rude - Fancy/Rex Rats
Gizmo - Teddy Guinea Pig
Gerbil Family
Illustrations
This style isn’t really painted, but since it’s a commission option it’s grouped with the others. I only have one example of this style for now, because it’s a fresh new offer! The drawing below is of my own cat, Stormy. I’ve included a picture of him that I used for reference as well, so you can have an idea of how I stylise an animal.
