Sam Lester Pet Portraits and Animal Studies

Self-taught pencil artist from Leicester.

I have had an interest in art since I was a young girl and over time developed my own style using Derwent Graphic pencils ranging from 4H-9B.

I recently started specialising in pet portraits, but also take requests of other animals.

I aim to create realistic drawings that bring out the true nature and character of each animal so that they can be enjoyed and treasured for many years.
