ART TIPS ✦ painting a pet portrait commission | freelance illustrator 

That's my Mimzy 🥺❤

Wow that portrait is so cute! I love how it's stylized and you chose some really beautiful colors, very skillful work. I'm surprised your channel hasn't blown up yet, so here's to hoping! Also I love your studio vlogs/ con prep videos. ❤Have a nice day.

I've been following you for about 8 years or so and I'm always amazed of how much you've improved in such a short time; Not that you were ever bad, but you can see the evolution throughout the years! Your style is just fantastic and this painting looks absolutely beautiful!

We love this original interpretation of the subject! The obvious choice for the reference could have been a Caravaggio-style, dramatic study in chiaroscuro, but we think boosting the brightness was a great choice! Just goes to show, the photograph doesn't have to dictate what the artist does!

I❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ your work.😊😊😊😊😊😊

Yesss dogs too please! I'm bias, but I vote German Shepherd! I have a shepherd but she's a White Shep and her name is Ghost! Also my brother had a corgi and they're fun too! Birds would be fun too! I love a good crow or raven. If you watch Leigh Ellexson her bird Hercules could be fun to paint too!

wow, I love this style so much and I love the colour palette you've chosen 😊

I think doing gray cats would be nice, I can see blues pairing nicely with gray cats fur

So beautiful ✨

Hermoso!

I absolutely love the colors in this piece!! Super amazing color choices. Also could I throw in rabbits as a suggestion for an animal you should paint?

Dogs!!!!! Minature poodle all fluffly lol , chihuahua, pomeranian but mine are alwats mixed lol I have a bird lol he is like a little parrot because he does talk. He is mainly green and his tail has Yellow and blue 😅

Uuuuh dogs! Yes! 😍 Corgi and Husky would definitely look great in your style and the pastel-y colour palette! 💜 Uuuh and birbs! Yes please! Magpie and raven/crow! 💜 (Yes, I’m excited… I don’t have any pets I could commission a portrait for… 🥲)

I would like to try this technique with urban city images and landscapes

This is literally so gorgeous! 🥺 I want to invest in more gouache and this video makes me want to impulsively buy it 😂 this is what happens when u only buy 4 colors

Mainecoone, calico or a tortie are common :) love your art :)

Does the gouache need a varnish or protective layer?

ahh to have such an amazing photo to send you for reference. That's the only thing deterring me from considering one of your portraits ToT Also tbh I love seeing how creative you get with black or otherwise super darkly colored pets, so that would be fun
