Hi,
As you prolly noticed I've started a new drawing. This is my very first paid commission, so I'll try to do my best! :)
It's called Mike's father.

Here are the first WIPs and the reference picture.
Each time I go ahead with a WIP I add and erase things, enhance and change a bit the piece... so some features could look not good at this early stage... many changes have still to be done.

I just wanted you to see the pic I'm using as a reference, to realize I sometimes enhance some things like eyes, hair etc. comparing to the reference picture.

I hope you'll enjoy the WIP.

Thanks a lot for your support and appreciation :hug:


Reference Picture



Edit: Ok, it's been quite a long time that I haven't worked on "Mike's father" portrait... Quite busy during this period!

During the next days I'll try to dedicate some minutes to this portrait, which I like a lot. It's the first time that I'm working on an A3 size and it's so hard because I use a very thin brush for my portraits... a number 0! So it's kind of crazy to use such a small tool on a wide area... but the results are nice.

Probably in a couple of days I'll finish it and submit the final piece! :excited:

If you're curious about how it's looking like right now, I've submitted in my scraps some pics shot with my webcam. As you can see... I've finished his shirt, tie and jacket and added a faded background.



Thanks a lot to all the ones who commented the WIPs and this journal. :hug:

It's the first time that I'm using such a big size... it's a bit tiring but you can add so many details :)
