Photo realistic colour time-lapse drawing of a cat, created using Carbothello & Faber Castell pastel pencils on PastelMat paper dark grey 30x40cm.
To create my pet pastel portrait drawings, I always use the same technique of putting down a base layer of colour and finish off with fine details on top. Making sure my pencils are continually sharp will allow me to get the details of fur and hair highlights which can really make a portrait stand out.

The real-time video for this drawing is on my Patreon! There you will also find many more tutorials and real-time videos to help you learn exactly how I achieve realism in my artworks.
Creating realistic pet drawings for clients & capturing a true likeness along with all the detail is crucial. In this blog post I want to talk you through how I created this realistic cat portrait drawing using pastels. I mainly draw in colour as I believe it brings out an animals true nature when compared to B+W drawings which are great for a more formal result. A colour portrait on the other hand will bring out the many subtle colours and tones found in the fur along with the colour in the eyes which can really captivate a viewer and create a certain wow factor.
What materials do I use? For colour pet portraits, I draw with pastel pencils. Mainly Carbothello & Faber Castell pastel pencils, on occasion I will use PanPastels but not always as I find they tend to block up the paper quickly. They have great longevity (lightfastness) so you can rest assured that your clients artwork will stay in prime condition for many years. They are also very pleasing to work with in my opinion and offer great flexibility in technique. I have listed all the materials used below.
How do I create my realistic artworks? To create my pet pastel portrait drawings, I always use the same technique of putting down a base layer of colour and finish off with fine details on top. Making sure my pencils are continually sharp will allow me to get the details of fur and hair highlights which can really make a portrait stand out. Below are some of the steps I took to finish this portrait. As you can see, I started with the eyes and made my war around to the fur.
