French Bulldog Pencil Portrait: Junji and Daisy

Welcome to my custom French Bulldog pencil portrait of Junji and Daisy! This double dog drawing was commissioned by Malcolm in Hong Kong as a surprise gift for his wife. He emailed me several wonderful reference photos of their two French Bulldogs, and after some friendly back and forth, we settled on the perfect composition. I created the portrait using graphite pencils on high-quality Italian paper, carefully capturing their distinctive expressions and soft fur textures. It was a real joy to work on and even more special knowing it would be gifted to someone special. Scroll below to read about the full story of the portrait.

About the Commission of Junji and Daisy

Malcolm Underwood (Hong Kong) contacted me in 2014 for a portrait as he is owned by two gorgeous French Bulldogs called Junji and Daisy! He wanted to commission a 14 x 14 pencil portrait for his wife as a surprise gift. I was delighted, and I absolutely loved the photos that Malcolm had sent and was really excited to get started on the commission.

Once the drawing was completed, I photographed it and emailed a final version for approval. He showed his wife the pencil portrait, and she loved it. You can read a number of emails and messages from both Malcolm and his wife Wendy below—some when they saw the portrait, and also some when they received it.

Malcolm had the portrait framed when it arrived in Hong Kong, which was perfect.
