My first portrait of 2019!!!😊
Hello friends, thanks for the amazing feedback on my last post! Today I'm sharing my first commissioned portrait of 2019! It's a portrait for a very wonderful client of mine whom I met not so long ago. I did this portrait for about 15 hours across 2 days, probably the fastest I've done something of that size. I used generals charcoal pencils and a brush to cover the light areas which make up most of the face.
Enjoy the few progress shots I took below 😉
I started working on the shirt here, using a brush and some powder mostly
I used an electric eraser to trace out the "Jack Jones" logo on the shirt after I had shaded over the whole area
Remember this cute little girl from my last post? This is her father and he commissioned them both! What a thoughtful young man!
Just another shot while rounding up 😊
Summary
Status: commissioned
Size: 20x16 inches
Medium: charcoal on alabaster paper
Duration: 15+ hours
Thanks for stopping by as always, kindly follow me to see more amazing art! Don't forget to share your thoughts too.
