Artist's Comments

A week ago I finished a commissioned portrait I started at the beginning of january this year. I still call it a commission 'cause I've been asked to draw this young "special" girl, but it actually became a present since I decided not to be paid for it.

She was my colleague's girlfriend's sister.
I don't have much to say about it, except that
Sometimes Angels come on Earth to remind us what the true meaning of Love is.

WIP

My desk during the process (sneak peek)

Edit: I forgot I had a high res. scanning of the portrait so I put together some Close-Up's

Pencils on paper:
* Clutch pencils (HB and 2B)
* Black watercolor pencil
* Arches hot-press watercolor paper

Size: 26x36cm (10"x14")

I have no words much like I had none as I saw it rise from the paper and watch your strugle.

I'll draw a sketch of thee,
What kind of pencil shall I use?
2B or not 2B?

It was a very nice portrait to do and you know how much I cared about doing the best that I can to make it be a wonderful present for her sister and her whole family. Thanks a lot for your unconditional and costant support.
