YuukArt

I'm André Simões and I create coloured-pencil pet portraits. My goal is simple: turn your favourite photo into a piece with emotion, depth, and detail.

The portrait keeps the dog's left-facing profile, but the dark spots are what lead the eye from muzzle to neck. #YuukArt #PetPortraitArt

The pale, shaggy muzzle draws the eye against the dark fur around the face. Then the nose and glimpse of pink bring the portrait into focus. It's a lovely reminder to look closely. #YuukArt #PetPortrait

Those pale green eyes stand out in both the sofa photograph and the hand-drawn portrait. The fine tabby markings make the gaze unmistakably its own. #YuukArt #CatPortrait

[YuukArt @ArtYuuk]

The dark stripes between the eyes, pale fur around them and fine whiskers each add a different line to this cat portrait. Look closely at how they come together. #YuukArt #CatPortrait

[YuukArt @ArtYuuk]

The bright eyes draw you in, but the fine white whiskers make this hand-drawn cat portrait feel unmistakably true to the photograph. #YuukArt #CatPortrait

[YuukArt @ArtYuuk]

The dark markings around the eyes are easy to notice, but their placement is what brings the face into focus. Take a closer look at how they meet the lighter fur. #PetPortrait #YuukArt

The feathered edges of those wide ears give this hand-drawn dog portrait its unmistakable outline. #YuukArt #DogPortraitArt

[YuukArt @ArtYuuk]

The pale strokes across this dog’s forehead continue into the muzzle, forming a pattern that stands out against the dark fur. A small detail, but a defining one. #PetPortrait #YuukArt

[YuukArt @ArtYuuk]

The blue eyes meet the pale fur against a dark ground, creating a natural focal point. Look closely at how the fine strokes around the eyes bring the face into focus. #YuukArt #PetPortrait

[YuukArt @ArtYuuk]

The long curls around the ears are more than a framing detail—they’re the first thing that makes this gaze recognizable in the hand-drawn portrait. #YuukArt #PetPortrait

[YuukArt @ArtYuuk]

The bright eyes catch attention, but the dark markings around them and across the forehead are just as distinctive. Look closely at how they meet the pale fur and whiskers. #PetPortrait #YuukArt

[YuukArt @ArtYuuk]

The spotted ears frame the face, but those brown eyes hold the portrait together. Every detail is hand-drawn. #YuukArt #PetPortraitArt

[YuukArt @ArtYuuk]

The white blaze runs between the eyes and down the nose, while the orange patches frame each side. A small pattern, but a very particular one. #CatPortrait #YuukArt

[YuukArt @ArtYuuk]

The lighter marking runs from the forehead toward the muzzle, set against darker patches around the eyes. Follow that contrast through the face and notice how it shapes the likeness. #YuukArt #PetPortrait

[YuukArt @ArtYuuk]

The amber eyes draw you in; the fine, unruly muzzle fur keeps you looking. This close-up becomes a completely hand-drawn portrait. #YuukArt #PetPortraitArt

[YuukArt @ArtYuuk]

The curled tongue gives this portrait a distinctive outline. Look again and the visible eye, nose and fine strands around the muzzle become part of the same carefully observed likeness. #YuukArt #PetPortrait

[YuukArt @ArtYuuk]

The amber eyes draw you in; the white blanket keeps the portrait rooted in the original close-up. #YuukArt #PetPortrait

[YuukArt @ArtYuuk]

The dark marking from forehead to nose leads the eye straight to the golden eyes. It’s a small contrast, but it gives this portrait a distinctly recognizable pattern. #PetPortrait #YuukArt

[YuukArt @ArtYuuk]

The white marking runs between the eyes and toward the nose, framed by black and orange. That simple path gives the eye a way through the portrait. #YuukArt #PetPortrait

[YuukArt @ArtYuuk]

The portrait draws you in with the amber eyes, then rewards a closer look at the fine speckling across the chest. #YuukArt #PetPortrait
