Whether it’s your pet cat, a wild wolf, or your favorite zoo animal, we’ll guide students through proportion, texture, and expression to create animal portraits full of character.

A charming, hand-drawn portrait of a dog, featuring warm brown tones and expressive, friendly eyes. The artwork captures the playful spirit of the dog, with a lovely smile and gentle demeanor.
