I did a few oil paintings years back of celebrities and their pets. So I thought I’d play around with a few more, this time pencil sketches.

First up was Ricky Gervais with his cat Ollie. I have always been a huge fan of his and anyone that follows him on social media will know that Ollie make regular appearances.

Portrait was drawn on heavy textured paper.

Next was Lewis Hamilton with his Bulldogs Roscoe & Coco who follow him around the world and even have their own instagram account.
