Our first charcoal portrait

Opps, not my work. I paid someone to work for it. Its a surprise gift for my beloved girlfriend for her upcoming 27th birthday this coming November 22.

Since we don't have any charcoal portrait, i decided to pay a charcoal artist to have our first one photo in charcoal.

Is it awesome?

Below are the final and finished output and the reference.

Finished output, Charcoal portrait

This is the finished output. So far so good for php. 1,000?

I just met the artist at facebook and his name is Krisjun Rey. I saw some of his works are amazing. So I chose him to do the job. I paid him 1,000 php for 2 heads portray in one velum paper a3 size.
