Hi all! My next work, a portrait to order from a photograph, A3 format. Basically, if there are two people in the portrait, I always draw A3 format, no more and no less. If you ask "why?" - the answer is simple, I'm used to and more comfortable with this format, because. if you take A4, then it is not convenient to draw small details, and if A2 is very large.
The portrait is made on thick paper for drawing with a pencil and charcoal. Before work, I always carefully select a photo with the customer. I try not to take where a lot of photoshop. But it happens that there are very few photos and the choice is not great. And there are just fans of the photo editor! With such photos you need to be careful, as the faces are not natural, as in this portrait. But, you need to take into account the desire of the customer, because he is always right!
The job took 2 days, 5-6 hours each.
nice shading seems like the paper you used, gave you a nice texture, great job
Nice
