Pet: A Sketch

About Us

When the pandemic shutdown of 2020 abruptly ended my 6th grade school year, I needed something to fill the long, quiet days. I turned to painting and drawing, first experimenting with landscapes and sunsets just to pass the time. At first, I wasn’t especially interested in art, but after spending hours on YouTube I began following talented artists who shared tutorials and inspiration. I dug out an old art set I had from 3rd grade and started practicing along with their lessons. Slowly, my technique evolved, and what began as a distraction grew into a passion. Today, I’m a young artist who specializes in creating detailed, hand-drawn pet portraits. To commission a piece, all you need to do is send me a high-resolution, close-up photo of your pet by text or email. I’ll reply with a personalized quote that includes both pricing and an estimated timeline. Most portraits take about two to three days to complete and range from $70 to $110 depending on size and complexity. Payments are accepted through Venmo or Zelle, but only after you’ve approved the final portrait—I want you to love the finished product! As an animal lover, I also believe in giving back, so for every commission I donate at least 10% of proceeds to my local animal shelter. Creating these portraits combines my love for art and animals, and each drawing is crafted with care to capture the unique personality of your furry family member.

On 5/1/2026 Sarah Heiger had this to say:
As I’m in the process of moving and taking my artwork down, I found myself reflecting on my experience with Pet: A Sketch. I ordered my custom dog portrait several years ago, and from the very beginning, Margaret was respectful, responsive, and extremely professional. Even as a younger customer at the time, I always felt valued and cared for throughout the process. My portrait was created in 2022, and seeing it again now is incredibly emotional. My dog has grown since then, and having a custom pet portrait that captures him at that specific age means more to me than I can put into words. The detail and personality in the artwork are amazing, and it’s something I’ll treasure forever. I wholeheartedly recommend Pet: A Sketch to anyone looking for a high-quality custom dog portrait or a meaningful way to preserve memories of their pet. It’s truly special artwork you’ll appreciate for years to come.

Margaret surprised me with a pencil sketch of my cat Rusty and I was absolutely blown away when I seen it. She is so young and talented and it’s so nice to see her doing something she loves. She got every single detail, picked out the frame herself and it matches perfectly for my new home!

I was amazed at how accurate the picture of my dog Looie turned out. For the great value of the work the prices were very low compared to other businesses. I will definitely be buying drawings of my other pets. This would make a great gift for yourself or others!!!

Margaret drew me the cutest picture of my dog! I love it so much it’s so realistic and so is all her other works, she is one of the most talented people I know! It also took her a very short time to complete it while also being very intricate and detailed.
