Ella Draws Dogs

Hi all! I’m Ella, a Melbournian artist and dog enthusiast. I can frequently be found sitting on the ground at my local dog park, collecting cuddles and taking reference photos. I have a particular passion for Cavalier King Charles Spaniels (though who doesn’t; am I right?), and my two-year-old Cavalier Tony is my favourite person in the world. I’m a self taught artist, and love the flexibility of working digitally (undoing mistakes is significantly easier/less nervous breakdown-inducing). I take many of my own reference photos, and I’m always particularly delighted when I can capture an elegant dog breed looking like a total doofus (a.k.a. expressing their true selves). I love figuring out new ways to display my drawings (I recently discovered how to bind my own notebooks), and am always thrilled to learn new skills and see my work in different formats.
