Handcrafted pet, and wildlife portraits, rendered in stunning photorealistic detail. Each piece is a timeless tribute to the animals or subjects you love.
Every pencil portrait I create starts with a deep look at your photograph — the way the light falls on a coat of fur, the particular warmth in a pair of eyes. I don’t just draw animals; I try to capture their spirit.
I specialize in photorealistic graphite and charcoal portraits of pets, wildlife and more. I am a self taught artist that started this site at the encouragment of others who thought I may be able to bring some joy to people hoping to honor their pet or enjoy a drawing of their favorite animals or other subject. Whether it’s your beloved dog, a majestic eagle, or a companion you’ve lost — each piece is drawn entirely by hand with professional-grade materials. While I specialize in animals and wildlife, please feel free to ask about any subject you have.
My work has found its way into homes of friends and family, gifted for birthdays, memorials, and holidays. Nothing makes me prouder than hearing “it looks just like them.”
Thank you for stopping by the site.
The name and logo - InDesign Pencil Art? This was an idea by my wife, and inspired by my dog 'Indy', who is featured in the logo. Unfortunately, Indy has been gone for several years, but his memory lives on.

“The wildlife portrait of the barn owl is incredible. Every feather is there. Worth every penny and more.”
