THE COMPLETED PORTRAIT

"Portrait of Charlie is looking great!!!"

"
Thanks ever so much for all your hard work.  I am really happy with the portrait"


CREATING THE PORTRAIT:

I was provided with some mobile photos of Charlie taken both outdoors (Best option) and indoors, however the best reference photo used was the indoor one and Charlie's colouration looked quite dark against the outdoor photos, so working with all images supplied, I was able to balance it out. I decided to adapt Charlie's eyes as he was squinting in the main reference picture but could see on the other photo's received, that he had these lovely big brown eyes and I wanted the portrait to truly reflect his character.

A Second Order:


This was the first portrait that I was asked to undertake as a Christmas gift for the owner's wife. This was also completed in Coloured pencils.
