Sketches by Chad Eric Keith - Pet Portraits - Nationwide
I am a Colorado Springs artist offering personalized sketches drawn from your photograph. I mostly work with graphite and charcoal but pastel color work is also available. Prices are dependent upon size and framing choices.
I translate my observations and emotions into my artwork. Utilizing multiple layers of graphite pencil and various dry media, I craft lifelike representations of pets, portraits, landscapes, and architecture. The majority of my creations are inspired by those who have passed on, especially beloved family pets. Witnessing the tragedy and sorrow of loss deeply affects me, and I carry a great deal of empathy for those experiencing it. My aim is to offer closure and honor their memory with a sense of peace and optimism for what lies ahead. In a gesture of heartfelt compassion, I extend a 10% discount for sketches commemorating departed family members and pets. My main focus is on capturing the essence of each subject, infusing every piece with their spirit and conveying their emotions, thoughts, and serenity to the viewer.
Contact and book me through Petworks, today. Thanks.

What tip would you give pet parents for working with animals that you've learned as a pro?
When photographing your pet: Get on their level. Use natural light source if possible. Make sure the subject is in focus. Get as close as you can without cutting off body parts that are desired to be in sketch. When choosing an artist to create your masterpiece, It is important to know the style of work the artist of interest creates. Research the portfolio and style of the artist and decide if you think it's a good fit for your goals. The larger the portfolio, the better idea you'll have of their style. Having much commission experience is beneficial. Ask questions like: What is my goal for the project? What style would suit best? What is my budget? How much commission experience does the artist have? How are payments accepted? Are there shipping/handling costs or other fees and taxes? What is the completion deadline for the project?
What is one thing you want pet parents to know about you? It can be whatev-fur you'd like!
I have a strong attention to detail. I work closely with my clients to create the personalized sketches that they desire. I care not only for my clients, but also their subjects. Please find out more : https://www.sketchesbychaderickeith.com/
