Poppy and Dandelion | First Pet Portrait Commission | Art

 


It’s 2nd day of the year, happy New Year!

Also this is the first blog post this year, this one is quite a promising one. So last month (and last year), I did my first commission to do a pet portrait. However, this client is my sister, but she paid me as I calculated the pet portrait commission cost, she also paid me a bar of chocolate as a tip of my service, can’t say no as I love chocolate, can I? Heheh. Anyway, she wanted me to paint two French bulldogs, a surprise Christmas and farewell gift for her client. 

This is the style I painted for pet portrait, some plants and/or flowers as background detail. For this portrait, using these two flowers that are their names, Poppy and Dandelion.



I have received a feedback recently, they loved it! That’s good for a first time, since this is a surprise gift their owner didn’t ask how they want it to look but the person who gifted them, and yet they still loves it. 


If you’re interested in getting a pet portrait and you like my style, contact me and we’ll discuss it.

Thanks for reading and may this year brings kindness, happiness and goodness.

Here are my illustrations of Shy British Badger full of curiosity.  The first Shy British Badger illustration is acrylic paint, with much more water, along with colour pencil, the paint actually gives some textures. The second illustration is a favourite, it's colour pencil. Also did in digital, but still stick with colour pencil. And finally, front face illustration actually looks cute.

The Monarch | Illustration

The Milkweed butterfly, also in another name of the Monarch butterfly, inspired me when I watched BBC's Spy in the Wild Series 2 in February. In episode 2 "The North", in this scene located the mountain in West Mexico, with the Spy Hummingbird capturing the place that's considered the world's most beautiful natural gathering, where the Monarch butterflies hibernated during the winter. It was Spring, the Spy hummingbird flying around millions of butterflies resting on the oyamel fir trees (I just looked it up of what kind of tree because I can't remember what it was, hehe). When the sunshine on them, warmed their delicate wings, then started to fly. And when they fly, it was absolutely spectacular, all orange and flow through the trees. I imagined myself in there, underneath them and watching them as they migrate to North. I felt calm and delight thinking about it, it was awe-inspiring. Being called the Milkweed butterfly is because they feed on ...

Bloom Wildly | Illustration

It's nearly the end of May, the weather for the last week of the month has been sun shining and over 22c of temperature, such lovely weather. So yesterday, I have been painting the dog rose flowers, that just blossomed nearly 2 weeks ago! Right now they're blooming quite wildly in my home garden and the front! This bush even grows over the tree, makes it so enchanting it's like in a magical summer garden. And with the wall, this can hang further that I can go underneath it for some shade. This one is new from the front as it hasn't grown there before, so it's the first time seeing this. And it's already climbing up the birch tree! It looks nice to look at through the window, where I work on some arts, plus good for some inspirations to illustrate! Whilst I was painting, I did another timelapse video on this. Seems I find the time-lapse illustrating very fascinating and satisfying, you can see the process in fast speed, rather than the normal speed that'll t...
