Popular Dog Breeds

A drawing is a great way to remember your good friend -

The most popular dog breeds in New Zealand are:

1. Labrador Retriever
2. German Shepherd
3. Golden Retriever
4. Border Collie
5. Rotweiller

You can see drawings of some of these breeds on my website. On the right is a drawing of Max, the German Shepherd. Of course I love to draw all breeds and welcome an opportunity to draw your good mate. E-mail me for a price and a delivery date.


Jazz Remembered

A drawing is a great way to remember your good friend -

"Thank you so much for the great drawing of Jazz. My husband was thrilled with it, it was a wonderful surprise for him. It is not 'just a drawing of a dog'...you have captured a part of Jazz .. that look in his eyes that made him so special to us. Thank you for keeping his memory alive for us."

Jazz is a Shepherd cross


Loveable Megan

For this drawing I worked from several reference photos supplied by Megan's owner, along with my own reference material. Megan is a Staffordshire Bull Terrier.

Using very fine pencil leads (0.5 - 0.7 mm) I am able to capture a lot of detail. The downside is that it's a very time-consuming process. This A4 drawing took about 200 hours to do. I think the results are worth it though.

Happy Memories

Here's Sam's mum, Helen. Sam, the Border Collie aka Working Trials Champion, Ditanian of Lanmora, CDX, UDX, WDX, TDX, has recently passed away so the drawing is a wonderful way to remember him.
