Gift

A co-worker recently asked for a favor. He wanted something special for his wife's birthday this month, using my pencils and paper. How could I resist such a fun project? =) I didn't give him a price for this, it's a gift for his sincere intention. I hope she'll like it.

 I haven't done any WIP for a while now, so I thought I'd want to share. This is done on a 9x12" Strathmore Bristol Vellum board. Thank you all for your comments on my previous post =) They are very much appreciated.

    Alex,

    Your friend is fortunate indeed and his wife is going to be awed by it.

    Your art is so impressive. I am happy to see you sketching and showing in progress pix.

    This is excellent - I'm sure she will love it. Double portraits are such a challenge, and a baby! Tough. Very well done.
