K9 Magazine Masterclass: How to Create Your Own Pet Portrait
If you’re a person with a passion for pets, probably very likely if you’re reading K9 Magazine, then you may be one of the millions of animal lovers who crave the ability to capture the subjects which interest you on paper, canvas or on film. As ever K9 Magazine is here to help with our Arty Animal Master Class Series. This first instalment sees the outrageously talented artist Susan Brinkman give you an insight into the basics of creating a pet portrait using pencil art.
Susan Brinkmann was born in Southampton in 1963 but moved to the Netherlands when she was eight years old. Even as a child, she was always busy with pencils and crayons, trying to visualize on paper the things she saw. Her preference for highly detailed techniques resulted in life-like portraits. A great love for animals, dogs in particular, has been a continual source of inspiration. After graduating from the Academy of Arts, she continued to improve her technique, and today receives growing appreciation and fame for her, mostly commissioned, portraits.
This masterclass report will teach you how to draw a dog by using the image below, and the process by which it was created, as a basis to teach the skills required to become a real Arty Animal!
In this mini art-course, I shall try to explain which steps I take when creating an animal portrait. In order to master the technique that I use, it helps if you are a little skilled in drawing with pencils.
If you’re not particularly skilled with a pencil, well, if you are a patient person willing to practice a bit, why not give it a shot?! The main thing is to enjoy yourself and learn something in the process!
