...but i just came across the pic and thought id post it.

Its a portrait i did of my sister and her husband, based on a pic from their wedding day. This is the raw drawing, on illustration board with a lot of extra space around it, cause i hadnt decided what size frame i wanted to use. Its long since been framed and hung up at her house. But i never took a good pic, or scan. So this is all i have to show.

Youll have to trust me when i tell you it came out nice, and looks a lot better in person. And the fade on the tux jacket is flawless, if i do say so myself.

    I really like your realistic b/w drawings, you seem to nail the realism, and you capture key parts, but leave the rest with an unfinished look that makes the parts that are done look even better.

    Adam, you are quickly becoming my favorite reader.

    Not just for the compliment, but becuase you obviously get why i do what i do. I see no reason to waste time and effort on things that dont matter, like a background most of the time, and instead prefer to focus on the important parts. Which as you said, makes the detailed areas look nicer as well.

    Im glad youre a reader, and keep it up with the insightful comments my man.
