About
I draw animals the way I see them — soulful and full of character.

Hi I'm Christy, a Norfolk-based artist. I specialise in creating hand-drawn realistic animal portraits in coloured pencil, crafted from your favourite photographs.
Whether it's a beloved family pet or a wild creature spotted on a walk, my goal is the same: to give that moment a permanent, hand-crafted home on paper.
Each piece is drawn with lightfast coloured pencils on a high quality surface, and can take anywhere from 20 to 80 hours to complete.

Reference photos
You send a few of your favourite high-resolution photos. I'll help you choose the strongest reference.

I pencil in the composition and share progress photos as it grows.
