Animal Portrait Commissions
Hand-Drawn & Wood-Burned Animal Studies by Roger Coolbear
Animals carry presence, structure and character.
​
Alongside my wildlife sculpture work I offer a limited number of animal portrait commissions each month - created either as refined graphite studies or hand burned directly onto wood.

These are original artworks. No prints. No reproductions.
Each piece is individually created from your photograph.
