Celebrating Jason and Dawn
Posted by Trae Mundt on
A dear friend commissioned me to draw this portrait of her daughter and son-in-law.
She supplied reference photos. She chose the paper color. To make sure we understood the details, I emailed a Commission Agreement. Once that was signed, the drawing began. It's that easy! And, it's a very fun process.
This portrait took some time to complete. I never rush myself. It's the quality that I focus on, not the hours it took to complete my drawing.
I took six time-lapse videos capturing the drawing from beginning to end. These videos can be watched at my YouTube channel. Click the link below to see the first video.
Do you have an idea why I began with Jason's portrait? I'm right-handed. If I had started with Dawn's portrait, I would have smudged my work. The charcoal sticks make marks that quickly disappear if disturbed in any way. Graphite can survive a smudge or two.
Please leave a comment or question below. I'll be sure to respond.
