Coloured Pencil German Shepherd Portrait

BreedGerman Shepherd

MediumStabilo CarbOthello, Faber-Castell Pitt Pastel, Unison pastels, Caran D’Ache pastel pencils and Pan Pastels on white PastelMat

SizeA3 (40x30cm / 16x12")

Casper was rescued by his owner as a full-of-life 22 month-old German Shepherd. Unfortunately, he passed away from heart failure just after his 4th birthday in December, so sadly they only had him for a little over 2 years.

Apart from being so handsome (he was known in the village as the Brad Pitt of the park) he was a very loyal dog. He didn’t have an aggressive bone in his body whatsoever and was excited and eager to see everyone. Casper was extra loving and every evening would climb onto his owner’s lap for his daily cuddles. He really was a special dog….. very sorely missed and never to be replaced. Read more about pet memorial portraits here.

Oh Angie, I absolutely love the portrait of Casper. I have my daughter and son-in-law here and they, together with my husband, said how fantastic it looks. You’ve really captured his cheekiness and character. Can’t wait to have him hanging pride of place in the house.

Angie will not let you down, I recently said goodbye to my beloved Beagle. In the weeks that followed I came across an amazing portrait of a beagle named Bob, utterly stunning, the artist was Angie. I did not hesitate to contact Angie to create a portrait of my own Reuben, my portrait was delivered yesterday and it captures him perfectly. I am so glad I have this as it offers me something I cannot put into words. Angie was so easy to work with and I will be requesting her services at some point in the future.

Angie has done some absolutely stunning portraits for me and my sister. My sister also commissioned her to do another one of her dog as an older boy. Angie’s work is absolutely amazing, the detail and the likeness is just incredible. She is extremely talented, drawing just from the photos her clients send in, I know my photos I sent her were not brilliant but through her sheer skill and eye for detail she produced me a very detailed and lifelike portrait of my two hens, she has absolutely captured their characters and personalities I was truly inspired by her work. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending her; if you want that special drawing of your loved pet or any animal (she can literally draw anything!) then Angie is the lady you should seek out. I simply would not go to anyone else. Also, she does the most amazing horses, her work is truly mesmerising.

Angie drew my cat Winky, and I honestly can’t believe how good the picture is. It captures both his every visual detail, but also his personality somehow too. I would recommend her to anyone who loves their pet!

I Just received my portrait of Toby today and it's amazing I love it. The detail in it is spot on considering the photos i gave to Angie were really old and grainy and not great she has done a fantastic job I can't stop looking at him. Angie is a very talented artist 🎨 Can't wait to get it mounted and framed and up on the wall.

Angie’s fabulous art speaks for itself. I’d like to compliment her on the little extras that add such meaning to her gift. The artwork is protected and wrapped in ribbon, a personalized card is included. That extra touch adds something special to the already precious gift of her artwork.
Angie captures the sweet essence of whatever she draws

We commissioned two large artworks of our dogs from Angie. Angie went out of her way to understand exactly what we hoped for and how important it was for us to have such unique portraits of our dogs in one of their favourite places.

Both works arrived in perfect condition and although we had seen progress photos, seeing the actual artworks up close and in our home exceeded all our expectations. We shall be able to admire our dogs for ever! The likenesses and details are perfect.

Angie has been a pleasure to work with throughout. I highly recommend Angie’s art and working process.

Arrange for Angie to draw our ragdoll cat Chelsea and could not be happier. Angie was a delight to deal with and the quality of her work is exceptional.

Words cannot express how delighted we are with the portrait of our 12.5 year old GSD Sasha, who sadly passed away earlier this year after such a short illness.

She was the most loyal and friendly fur baby I could of asked for and i so proud to be part of her life.

This drawing has now brought her back as it’s so lifelike,and will now take pride of place in our home.

Thank you so so much Angie we are humbled by your fantastic work

Received the portrait of our cats this week and Angie's work is amazing! She had really caught the essence of them and I can't thank her enough.

Great communication throughout the process, the artwork arrived beautifully packaged and it was lovely to see the work-in-progress images too. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I just received my portrait from Angie! It is absolute perfection. She was able to capture the personality and beauty of my girl Callie and I couldn’t be more thrilled with how the portrait turned out. Angie is so talented! I recently found out Callie has cancer and this portrait is going to end up as more of a memorial photo vs. one I would just have with her still being here with me. It means so much to me that Angie did this and was worth every penny. She is great with communication and always kept me in the loop. I will definitely be getting many future pet portraits by her! She is so popular that her waitlist may be a little long (I waited 2 years), but I promise she is worth the wait!!!!
Thank you a million times over Angie! I love my Callie girl 💕

I couldn't be happier with my stunning portrait of my beautiful little girl. Angie did an amazing job of drawing her. My portrait is so life like and Angie was fantastic all the way through the process asking if I was happy so far and if I wanted any changes or adjustments done. I can wholeheartedly recommend her. What a precious keepsake to have. When my portrait arrived it was so well wrapped and packaged up. Thank you so much again Angie you have a truly amazing talent xxx

Angie was incredibly easy to work with and so helpful. The portraits are incredible. They look amazing, now framed, on the lounge wall and everyone remarks on them. The guy in the framing shop couldn't get over how fantastic they were and remarked that he had checked the website. Just brilliant - something I will treasure always. Thank you so much.🥰

From the beginning on Angie was a joy to work with. She was very kind and helpful. I loved that she kept me updated on every step of the process. That portrait itself is stunning and amazing... she really captured my dog‘s personality, spirit and especially his expressive eyes. There are no words to describe how much the drawing means to me. THANK YOU ANGIE! 💜👣👣

My Snow Leopard print has just arrived and I absolutely love it! The print is amazing, so life-like I feel I can practically stroke the fur. and touch the nose. I asked Angie to choose a suitable frame as I trusted her artistic eye and she has come up trumps! All I have to do is hang it on my wall. (Have to confess I was a bit worried about the delivery. Would there be any damage, for instance? I needn't have bothered worrying. The framed print was beautifully and securely wrapped and yet easy to unpack). I have no hesitation in saying "If you are thinking about getting this print, go for it. You won't be sorry!" Thank you, Angie.

The whole experience from start to finish has been a joy. Angie is such a lovely friendly person who keeps you informed throughout your commission. My pencil portrait of my 2 dogs ,( Millie & Rocco) were absolutely out of this world, so lifelike. We can’t thank Angie enough, we’re over the moon with them. It came beautifully wrapped, the bow added a nice touch.
It’s now hanging on our wall & everyone who’s seen it thinks it’s brilliant.
Just wanted to let you know Angie....when we collected our portrait from the framers....he said, it was the best he’d ever seen. You are a very talented artist, Thankyou. X

Angie has such a gift, no only does she capture the animal she is drawing, but she is able to pull the personality out in her work. simply amazing. Professional product, with a collage of work in process to go with it. I LOVE mine

Angie is an amazing artist .l would put her with the "Greats" . Her work has so much detail and the care she takes when drawing a portrait shows in all that she does . The animals look like they are alive and any moment they will blink woof or move The way she captures the eyes is truly spectacular l would recommend her work to absolutely anyone .

I had my first pet portrait done back in 2016 with Angie and I knew immediately I would be back again for another!

Angie's professionalism is faultless. She takes genuine interest in customer's pets making the service feel so personal which I'm sure must help capture the animal's personality.

I can't reccomend Angie enough, from day one through to receiving the beautifully packaged portrait I've felt like a very valued customer.

I don't have enough words to say just how perfect Lottie's portrait is. Thank you so very much.

This was a wonderful experience from start to finish! Angie is so talented but above that wants to achieve an amazing portrait which the owner will love! Mission accomplished, I have just received my portrait of Lola and the presentation alone is amazing before you even get to the portrait itself! Beautifully wrapped and tied in a bow. Then you get to the portrait itself, it took my breath away and brought a tear it totally caught the expression of my girl. It is truly wonderful. Thank you Angie 💕

A very talented lady who has bought our Cookie back to life. Although Angie had never met Cookie it is like she knew him & you can see this in the ‘life’ she had put into his eyes. I have never met Angie but now feel I know her, as well as she knows Cookie.

From the onset Angie was a joy to work with, kind, helpful and very understanding. It’s clear she has a genuine love for animals. The moment the portrait arrived I could instantly see the pride and care Angie takes in her work. Not only was it well packaged but the presentation was stunning. The portrait was carefully wrapped with a personalised certificate of authenticity and instructions on how to care for it, such a special touch. The portrait of our sweet Yorkshire Terrier, Benji is breathtakingly beautiful. Angie’s talent has truly captured his spirit, personality and temperament. Benji has very expressive eyes. That intensity really comes through in Angie’s work. I can’t emphasise enough how Angie’s drawings bring the character of your pet to life. The portrait is something I will treasure for the rest of my life and I am so excited to have it framed. Thank you so much Angie for creating this amazing portrait of my boy, it has far exceeded my expectations and I could not be happier. You have raw talent and are so modest, sweet and helpful! If you are looking for a beautiful, thoughtful and quality gift for yourself or a pet lover friend then look no further ....... I promise, you will not be disappointed.

I really don't know how to express my gratitude to Angie for her absolutely stunning work. She is truly gifted. The portrait that Angie drew of my cat Peanut is absolutely perfect. I am in awe of the colouring and the detail. Angie managed to truly capture the likeness of my Peanut, and I can see her in those eyes. Those eyes! Angie's work is breathtaking and this portrait means so much to me. Angie was also an absolute pleasure to work with, lots of emails with updates and progress photos that I also cherish. Thank you again x

This afternoon I received Alfie's portrait from Angie, to say I am blown away is an understatement!! I'd seen work in progress pictures so knew from these that Angie had captured Alfie perfectly but seeing the actual portrait was something else entirely!! His eyes are so alive and I feel like he is looking at me!
Angie has been an absolute joy to deal with, she kept me informed through the whole process and made sure I was happy with the completed portrait before posting. The portrait was packaged so well and it felt very special unwrapping it and seeing it for the first time.
I cannot recommend Angie highly enough, her work is amazing.
