The custom art jobs are slowly getting completed. Many of them cannot be shown, because the recipients might be readers of this blog. Can’t be giving away secrets like that just before Christmas!
This is a drawing that the recipient has already received. It began with some sketches.
The customer didn’t want these subjects shown this way. (Why did they – customer and assistant – send me these photos to work from??)
I tried again from the photos they specified out of the batches they had sent to me. (Often multiple photos help me see details that might be obstructed by shade or trees or trash cans or cars or. . .)
This was accepted, but the customer requested that the upper left image not be on a tilt.
It was a rush job, so I spent all day on a Saturday and a few hours on Sunday completing the drawing.
The upper right scene was drawn from another rush job for the same customer several years ago.
P.S. This was a very challenging job, causing me to rethink my custom prices and available sizes for collages. I know for sure now that 9×12″ is too small for this amount of detail (BRICKS – oy vey!)
