final revision

Now I consider the portrait done. I made a number a small adjustments.
Hopefully that takes care of it....
Nice to be finished!
This is a scanned image of the drawing. Click to enlarge.

finished portrait

Here is the final portrait...unless changes are requested.
Just needs my signature now. This is a photo of the drawing. I will scan the final once it's signed and I know there will be no changes.

NB, any changes?

Well, the second face is almost complete. I may do final touchups. I'm still tackling the hair.

I still need to complete the bottom of the first subject.

I ended up raising the right side of the hairline and toning down the shadows on the left side. The resource picture had alot of sun on his left side, but the girl was in the shade, so I wanted them to match a little better.

commission status 2

Here is the portrait with one face almost complete. As you see, there is a big change from the composition sketch.




















I had to change the placement of the eyes a bit on this one.
N.B. is it looking ok to you so far?

Composition sketch

This is a composition sketch for a commission I'm currently working on. I'm using photos from a photo shoot I did of the subjects. I moved the subjects closer together for the portrait. I also modified the lips on the girl to reflect a slight smile.
