Did this family portrait commission for my uncle’s 50th. They requested a portrait (30″x40″) of them all walking, holding hands and provided a handful of references to work from.
Getting a likeness in faces is no light task! Especially in full colour, over-shading/lighting can warp the face and make it look off even if all the features are correctly positioned.
Here’s a closer look at some faces.
I was deciding on my vote for the Triple J Hottest 100 of 2009, and after watching the clip for Drumming Song I thought a portrait sketch of Florence Welch would aptly tie in with a Hottest 100 blog post. After all, she is quite the hot sauce, with flame red locks to match.
This portrait was commissioned for a 21st birthday, and there’s even a stepped work-in-progress image below! It stands at 40″x30″ so it’s a pretty sizeable piece of art!
