Commission Portrait of a Family Friend

Okay....
Today I would love to share one of my recent art work which I really enjoyed the process.

This portrait was a gift which I was contracted to make for someone. Twas my sister in-law that gave me the job. Initially, I didn't wanna take the offer because the pay wasn't really what I expected but after considering that it's family, I had to accept the offer.

When the reference picture was sent to me, I wept, because it was so so bad. Like the picture was blur and I began to think of the stress I would go through to get it done. Well, long story made short, I started the work, and I made some adjustments. I am glad I atleast made gave it my best and it came out somewhat cool.

For the drawing, I used graphite pencils, charcoal dust, mono-zero eraser, and dry brushes on glossy card.
