Blog February 2026 – Jack Russell in pastel colors
I drew this beautiful short-haired Jack Russell using a palette of various brown and ochre shades. As with most of my drawings, I first outline them with an HB pencil. Read it all on my blog page.

Blog January '26 - Pencil drawing of sister and brother
A pencil portrait of the children from an old analog photo.
I want to reiterate that it's perfectly fine to choose an old photo, one with a fond memory, instead of a digital photo. As with most portrait drawings, I use an HB pencil for sketching.

Blog December '25 - Christmas Nostalgia. A portrait drawing with meaning in pastel.
This drawing exudes pure love and is therefore perfect for this holiday season.
I created this portrait drawing in PanPastel, combined with pastel pencils.
The colors I use for older skin are darker than for children's skin. Based on PanPastel, I draw and color with Dark Flesh, Burnt Orange, Ochre, and soft brown tones. All the small details, such as folds and wrinkles, are carefully drawn to capture the authenticity.
