Hello friends! Today I'm sharing this beautiful commissioned portrait, which was the second to last I did in 2018. It was commissioned by my friend Grace who also commissioned the one in my last post, of her parents. You can check that out here. This one was for her sister Christiana's birthday.

I had little time to deliver on this one, just one day, so I was too serious on it that I took just one progress shot 😣. Anyways, enjoy this one.

I like the fact that she was dressed as a bridesmaid. Drawing the fascinator and flowers was so satisfying. Doesn't she look so beautiful!

Here's a shot after framing

I also had to work through the night, this shot👆was taken at 4:11 am after I framed the drawing. I got no sleep till about 5am, then woke up at 6:30am, cleaned up and left at 7am to deliver it. Funny how I enjoyed every bit of it, for the love of art!

Also, here's a clip showing the final stages of the portrait and Christiana's reaction when she saw it, priceless moments indeed!
