Hyperrealistic Pencil Pet Portraits | Brie Hayden - Nationwide

Verified Member since Feb 2022 Verified checkmark

Commission a one-of-a-kind custom pet portrait to commemorate your beloved pet! I offer 8" x 10" unframed portraits for $200 USD. Each piece is created entirely by hand and takes about three weeks to complete. Simply send a few reference photos and I will help you choose which one would be best for a portrait. The best photos are ones taken from near eye-level, in clear lighting, and without any facial obstructions such as toys in their mouth. Please contact me through Petworks. Have a great day!

A Little More About Ms. Hayden:
Brie Hayden is an American artist based in Richmond, VA, specializing in freehand graphite drawings with breathtaking realism. She is self-described as a left-brained artist obsessed with detail and shading. Brie’s drawing process becomes almost meditative for her, as she meticulously replicates the contours, light, and shadows found in her photo references. Her style continues to push further into hyperrealism, as she works to perfect her craft.

"My art is a celebration of detail and precision. I work exclusively in mediums that I can tightly control, making no unintended marks. Constantly sharpening my pencils and working entirely freehand, I draw objects with often unnoticed or unappreciated details. Carefully crafting each line and curve, I work to capture the subtle changes between highlights and shadows. The objects I depict are surrounded by large white spaces, allowing the viewer to be fully absorbed into the piece and appreciate its intricate details."
