My name is Cindy Wijns and I am a passionate artist who specializes in creating realistic animal portraits in pastel pencil. Since a young age, I have been involved in various forms of art, which I have taught myself without any formal education. Pastel pencil is my favorite medium, and I prefer to draw animals, but sometimes I also try my hand at portraits of people. Due to busy times in my life and less time for my hobby, creating art took a back seat. But I decided to pick it up again and started making animal portraits in pastel pencil. I was immediately hooked on this technique because of the beautiful and realistic results it can produce.
 

Other forms of art that I have worked with include:

• Drawing with charcoal pencil

• Drawing with graphite pencil

• Drawing with colored pencil

• Painting with watercolor

• Painting with oil paint

• Watercolor

• Airbrush
