Reference



And WIP



this shows how i like to work i guess, i just build up from the initial tones that I lay down, and then start to work on the finer details. Once i finish the faces and bodies, i then spray it with fixative and complete the background. That way the background wont interfere with the faces.

comment as always

They look like they could be your brothers Cordy! Do you know if they're around your age?

ha, they are actually, but my mum's back in UK, unless my dad took a visit to Winnipeg before I was born????

Ok So I finished the pastel of my boss's son's.

Not that thrilled with this one, was ok to work on but i rushed the end to get it out of the way. Still, the Boss likes it and now wants another commission done!!!!
