Welcome to John's Portrait & Realism Studies Portfolio!

John has recently started doing animal portraits, drawing from both observation and from photos. If you are interested in a beautiful pen & ink drawing of your pet/livestock, please send us an email for a consultation! Some of these are sketches, or studies in realism, while others are portraits drawn of animals.


We are frequently updating this page once pictures can be taken, so check back often for new work!

Art should be enjoyed for free, which is why none of the photos are watermarked. If you are interested in one of these original pieces, please send us an email!
