Tyson the Cat – Pencil Portraits from Photos

Welcome to cat pencil pet portrait of Tyson. This was a really lovely commission to complete, it was a close-up head study which are my favorite to draw. Graphite pencil is a really lovely medium to portray cats' fur in, especially their beautiful shiny eyes too. If you are looking at having a pencil drawing of your cat, you are more than welcome to email me your photos at any time. Read more about the cat pencil pet portrait below.

The Cat Portrait in Pencil

The photos of Tyson below were taken both on my easel and after the portrait was complete. I just love creating portraits of cats and Tyson was no exception.

About the Commission of Tyson

Kim, based in the USA, found my website while searching for pet portrait artists online. She wanted a realistic pencil portrait of her beloved cat Tyson drawn from her favourite photo.

I spoke to Kim on the telephone once she had received her cat portrait, she called to thank me for the drawing.

She mentioned that she had searched on Google for a cat portrait artist in America however didn’t find anyone that she felt would capture Tyson the way she wanted.

She then came across my website in a wider search. Isn’t that wonderful! I send my pet portraits to clients worldwide and was delighted to be able to draw Tyson for her.

Happy Clients...

"Hi Melanie,
As promised, here are a few pictures that I took. I hope all is well and thank you, again, for everything."
