Commission: Father's Day

It has been a few weeks since I posted ^^' I have been working on a little project for a friend, and am happy to say that it is now finished

This piece was a commission I finished last week for a friend. The gift was for a Father's Day. I was super nervous at first because I don't normally draw more than one or two figures/ portraits per picture (especially traditionally because there can sometimes be little room for error haha), but I was also excited to challenge myself and see what I could learn.

I tried a technique that was a little out of my comfort zone, and ended up really liking it. My professor from last semester talked about painting in "planes" to help show depth, proportion, etc. I'm always so tempted to smooth everything out, but after seeing some of his work, I decided to give it a try... and loved it! I definitely want to do a few master studies and practice.
