This is a “not so successful” 8-double cat portrait that I was commissioned to do – It’s got some problems here and there, so I’m going to start over on this on this one once I’ve cleared a few other things out of the way.
Sorry about the absence everyone! I’ve been busy!

This is a sketch I did for someone called Taryn – I like how it turned out with the eyes, and I threw in that black outline that I’ve done a few times recently. I can’t decide if it’s good or bad though – I suppose it depends weather the drawing aim to be realist or not.
Here’s one that probably lacked a little effort. I think i finished it too quickly, and I didn’t put enough effort into measuring out the sheet of paper beforehand.
And lastly – this is a portrait that I just finished for the winner of my recent pet portrait giveaway
The cat in the picture is called Cuzz-Wuzz, and her “mom” is a cat-blogger over at DashKitten.com

I’ve been interviewed by a cat! Who would have thought it possible? I’m amazed! And I think it turned out quite good! Come read it here: Interview with artist Thomas Clausen and pet portrait giveaway – If you comment on Merlin’s post, you also get the chance to win a portrait of your pet – drawn by me! – so go ahead and do that!
The above drawing is my 688th since the 9th September 2014! Yup!
Come see this one at my Pet portrait portfolio too!
These two are drawings are what I’ve managed to produce since my last post! The first one if another one of my free pet sketches whereas the latter is a new commissioned drawing that I worked quite intensely on yesterday to get it ready to ship as soon as possible. The original photo had the dog wearing a bright red.. Dog jacket? (I’m not 100% on the terminology here) – that I decided not to include in the portrait. It also has the dog posing on the beach. I opted for a plain blue background to keep the focus on the dog. I hope you all like it!

Here’s my most recent commissioned drawing of three cats. The owner wanted to get them all together in a painting as a keepsake, but since one of them has passed away, the composition had to be made out of individual photos.
I’m fairly happy about the result, but I have yet to hear the owner’s opinion !
Come see this tripple-portrait of three cats on my portfolio site as well!
This was my 671th drawing since the 9th September 2014!
Here’s me again with 7 fresh drawings. I’ve now made 622 drawings since the 9th September 2014 – That’s almost two a day for a year. The last few months have been a bit slower, though. Mainly because I’ve been drawing most days and not every day. That’ll change at some point. I keep saying that, but it’s not going to be for another couple of months.
Anyway – the last one of the drawings you see there, is a commissioned drawing – one of a total of four, that I hope to ship to the USA next week. I’m trying to plan ahead with my pet-commissions, so if you know someone who’d like to get a portrait of their pet, I’d be really happy if you’d show them my portfolio of commissioned cat and dog portraits.
I’m as busy as ever with my studies. I really miss sitting down to make a drawing of whatever i feel like, but the pet portraits is sort of developing into a “thing” now. I’m actually quite happy with the way things are, because it allows me to sit and draw cats and dogs while I’m downscaling my horribly disagreeable Friday night shift slave-work – So I’m not complaining, but I look forward to be able to get back to experimenting some more with drawing while still keeping up with the pet-portraits at some point.

Hi everyone! Here’s the latest batch from me. I keep busy with drawing (almost) every day. I still have a ton of those “free sketch requests” – mostly cats and dogs, but I was quite happy to see a photo of a cute baby girl in the mix as well! She’s cuter in the photo … Read more

The title says it all. The first and last drawings conclude the three drawings that a Twitter user commissioned me to do. In between are three – perhaps a little too quick – dog sketches. I have suddenly received a tsunami of drawing requests on Facebook! While I’m really happy that so many (all at … Read more
