Terrier Pet Portraits

This was a fantastic portrait to complete—not only because I loved every minute of drawing Biscuit, but also because it was commissioned by a well-known TV and film star here in the UK as a gift for a very good friend of his.

About the Commission of Biscuit

Jason contacted me in 2018 as his friend’s beloved dog, Biscuit, had sadly passed away. His friend was heartbroken over the loss.

Jason shared:
"Biscuit was the wee dog’s name. She was 14 and stuck by my friend through thick and thin!"

Jason felt that a pencil drawing would be a wonderful gift for his friend—something that would bring back cherished memories of Biscuit every day.

The portrait was completed at a 12 x 10-inch size, which was perfect for capturing Biscuit’s expression. You can see the reference photo I worked from on the left.

Jason was thrilled with the portrait. It was lovely exchanging emails with him and completing the artwork, knowing some of the TV programs and films he has starred in. Such a fantastic experience! I truly love my job.

I loved every minute of drawing Biscuit! If you also have a Terrier and have some lovely photos of them, I would be thrilled to draw them for you. And don’t worry—you don’t have to be a TV or film star like Jason for me to create a portrait of your dog! 😊
Why not email me your photos and tell me all about your dog? We can chat about creating a portrait just for you.
