Coco's Memoir
#PetPortrait
Drawing Coco
Meet Coco — This piece was commissioned as a memoir to her time on this planet, when she graced her human and her family with her presence. We collaborated and ideated on what the concept for this portrait should be, we imagined her in a tropical heaven surrounded by plants and open ground to run free, doing what she liked best.
Process
I started out illustrating pet portraits with the intention to create something meaningful for animal lovers. I like to bring out their personalities through these portraits by learning about their behaviour, their favourite toys, special moments and memories in order to be able to recreate some of that magic and capture it through a concept or idea. This is a passion project of mine that brings me a lot of joy and contentment, especially when I see people react to the final portrait and notice the details.
