My name is Ruby Welstead, I am a professional portrait artist living and working in Leyland, Lancashire. I specialise in highly detailed and realistic coloured pencil drawings of your animals. All of my portraits are drawn using the best quality artist materials which means your portrait will stay looking great for a lifetime.
I have always had a love for animals and a passion for drawing, for these reasons I chose to specialise in pet portrait and wildlife art.
I use a combination of Faber-Castell Polychromos, Caran d'ache luminance and Caran d'ache pablo pencils on Fabriano artistico hp paper 640gsm, which is acid-free.
A drawing of a pet is a one of a kind gift for any occasion. A good quality photograph is required to achieve a proper likeness. It is important for me to get the personality and the character of your pet so sending me multiple pictures always helps.. Please feel free to email me your photos and I will let you know if they're suitable.

"I had a portrait done of my dog (ozil) the enquiry through to completion was very professional, she shared frequent updates with me on how it was progressing and the end result was amazing! Super talented wildlife artist & would recommend to anyone who is thinking of having one done."
"I've just received the most beautiful and life like drawing (of the dog). It's a Christmas gift & I know the recipients will be over the moon with it. Ruby kept me up to date on all stages of drawing, sending me each stage to ponder as the drawing got near completion I was amazed at what a true likeness of the pet it is, especially his eyes. I recommend Ruby 100% if you want a true likeness of your pet. Many, many thanks for such a beautiful drawing."
