Here's my next commission. I intended it to be color in my more usual non realistic style which is really what I most comfortable with. This style does take more concentration. I used an extra fine sharpie and when I did everything but the hat I panicked. I was afraid of messing it up. So I scanned the drawing without the hat, printed it out and finished the hat with a #2 micron. I realized I would never get the pattern right in the hat so I just tried for the shadows. This is one of the few times I've ever done teeth.
I have another photo of the same girl, that's next. I like to provide several versions and let the customer choose which one they like best. Sounds nice when I write that but really, I haven't had that many commissions. I'm not very good at drawing on demand. Something to work on next year.
And I like it. Yes I do.
Black and white is terriffic!
