No, they are not doggies but I will draw any species of pets! :) This drawing is for Melissa.
These drawings were commissioned by Spike’s mom, Christine, and they will be made into a calendar.
You can view these drawings larger in this flickr set.
For Keith.
Thank you for all your 2009 support and donations, and for spreading the word about my DOGGIE DRAWINGS.

Welcome to my DOGGIE DRAWINGS blog! This is where I share all my drawings and post updates on my schedule and donation totals made to rescue.
This DOGGIE DRAWINGS project began in April 2008 as a fundraiser for Boston Buddies - a non-profit Boston terrier rescue organization in Southern California. I have been a foster mom for Boston Buddies and this is also where I adopted my Boogie from.
So far, the response has been fantastic and we have donated thousands of dollars towards helping needy dogs. (See the total on the right side of this blog)

A big THANK YOU to everyone who has commissioned pet drawings and helped spread the word. I wish to keep doing this for as long as possible.
Please read on for information on how to commission a custom portrait of your dog(s). Some information has been updated for 2010 - Please refer to PRICES, PAYMENT and FAQ.
I work from photos so please email me a link to your favorite photos if they are in an online gallery (eg, Flickr, photobucket, Picasa, box.net. etc.) or attach your favorite photos in an email with a short description of your dog’s personality.
I prefer photos that include different angles, show at least one good facial close-up, at least one good full body pose with no clothing on so that I can see his/her unique body markings clearly, and accurate colors in natural lighting.
If you would like me to include a specific toy or a collar or costume, please let me know in advance and include reference photos for these items.
*If you have special requests for the drawing (extra props, background, different size etc.) please refer to the FAQ SECTION and let me know in advance. Some extras may cost more.
I refer to your photos to create a digital drawing.
I use a combination of Macromedia Flash and Adobe Photoshop, drawing directly onto my computer screen using a Wacom Cintiq pen and tablet.
Before I finish the drawing, I will email you a PREVIEW so that if you need to have certain things changed, this is a good time to let me know. :)
TIMEFRAME: Depending on how busy I am (because I do other work during the day) the finished drawing could take any time from 2 days to 2 weeks. Domestic shipping by USPS First Class mail takes 2-7 days.
1. One 8.5 x 11” print, signed by Yours Truly. This is printed on Epson Ultra Premium Presentation Matte paper, and sent by USPS First Class mail.
2. A link to download a high resolution file from which you can create your own prints. The file is in PDF format - 200 dpi, 8.5 x 11 inches.
PLEASE READ THE FAQ SECTION FOR SPECIAL REQUESTS.
Payment can be made via Paypal or by check. Please pay in advance. I will email you an invoice before I start drawing.
The final print and digital file will be sent only after receipt of full payment.
If paying by Paypal, please include your mailing address. If you prefer expedited shipping within the USA, add $5.00 to the total for Priority Mail (2-3 days).
If you would prefer to mail a check please contact me for my address.
*** These are new prices starting Jan 1st, 2010.***

You can view all my Doggie Drawings right here on this blog and also in this Flickr set.
Do you draw cats, birds, fish, pigs and other animals?
YES! At the same prices.
If you type CAT into the Search box on the lower right, you can see some of my cat drawings.
Examples: CORDELIA; CHAMBORD (cropped from larger drawing)
Will you draw my dogs with people and/or a background location?
I don’t draw people or elaborate settings for DOGGIE DRAWINGS which are intended to be simple portraits of your pet as you can see on this blog.
If you wish to commission a drawing with people portraits and background artwork, this drawing will be priced higher and separately from DOGGIE DRAWINGS artwork and may be in a different style from what you see here. Please contact me to discuss.
Will you draw my dog as a company logo?
DOGGIE DRAWINGS are portraits for personal use and enjoyment.
For any sort of design used for commercial purposes - business logos, store banners, or anything that isn’t a simple portrait of your dog in my usual style, this will cost more as the image will be copyrighted exclusively to you, in which case you have the rights to create merchandise & promotional items with it. Please contact me with your requirements and I will send you a quote.
Example:GIGI for http://ylbb.etsy.com
You have drawn my dogs - I would like to add some items/decorations to the drawing to make it holiday-themed. Will you do this?
If I am reusing the drawings that I have already done without creating new portrait poses, I can add extra elements and will charge a small fee depending on how simple or complex the modifications are.
Example: CHUBBY & MYNNE
Is it OK if I create products (mugs, tshirts, calendars etc) with your drawings using a site like Cafepress or Zazzle?
I am happy for you to do so ONLY if the products are for your personal use or shared amongst friends and family and not sold for profit. *Note that I have also created artwork for American Boston Terrier Rescue’s Cafepress site. Buy something for a good cause!
Example: ROSIE T-shirt for ABTR
Is it OK if I get a tattoo of your drawing?
YES! :)
Example: Melissa’s DUKE & DAISY tattoo
Can I have a drawing of my dog with a transparent background so that I can edit it in Photoshop and add my own background, text, decorations etc.?
There may be an additional charge per drawing if you would like to receive a layered PSD file. Please let me know in advance what your plans are.
Can you send me the digital file at a different size so that I can put it on my website or have it printed on a greeting card or poster etc.? (eg, I need the file at ___dpi, __ inches etc.)
The web resolution drawing of your pet is complimentary and can be downloaded via this site or my flickr. Feel free to post this drawing on your site/blog and spread the word about www.doggiedrawings.net! :)
The high resolution file that you receive is the same format that I print from.
If you wish to receive an ADDITIONAL high resolution digital file that is NOT at the standard 8.5 x 11” 200dpi format that I print from, YES I can provide this but there may be an extra charge for time spent creating a new file. I prefer to know in advance the size that you need before I start drawing.
Can I link to your DOGGIE DRAWINGS site on my site or blog?
YES! Absolutely. Thank you! Please link to www.doggiedrawings.net and let me know so that I may link you back! :)
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

Are you interested in seeing photos of the doggies that I have drawn?
I am sharing here a few photos (not ALL of them) that their parents sent me that I used for reference. This may give you some idea of how I work.
Example #1: RICKEY & LUCI
…with a camera, because their mom Andrea is a photographer.
Example#2: BASIL, SAUCY & YANKEE
…are Samia’s three Frenchies. Saucy in the middle is the “diva” who collects deer antlers.
EXAMPLE #3: LORENZA
… has 130 dresses and knows what she likes. Her mom Veronica let me choose her dress on this occasion.
EXAMPLE #4: TUX & TING
Allison, their mom, told me that Tux (BT) is obsessed with leopard print balls and has about 40!
EXAMPLE #5: ROSIE & COSMO
Rosie’s mom Jen introduced me to the Squeeki Tiki toy. Now my BT Boogie has one too!
Hope you enjoy!

DOBBIE & COOKIE (frenchie and boston terrier) - for Kat
“Lili is super nice, and very quick with her work, you’ll be amazed. She always captures the expressions & personalities of the dogs SO perfectly! I’ve attached the drawing she did for Cookie & Dobby, as well as some of their pictures that inspired the drawing. It’s now framed up on our wall and makes us smile everytime we look at it. :)”
BLADE (rottweiler) - for Karri
“Absolutely gorgeous, Lili! Thank you so much for capturing Blade perfectly. I had a memorial party in his honor this past weekend where I unveiled it to everyone and the reaction was overwhelming. Thank you again!”

BRUTUS THE FRENCHIE - for Michelle
“Lili really has a knack of capturing the expression on each dog’s face, making them instantly recognizable, and she is really fun to work with. You can see a catalog of Lili’s doggie art on her flickr page or on her website. Her drawings are very reasonably priced, and to make it even better, a portion of the proceeds are donated to the doggie rescue organization of your choice!!”
