Busts portrait (WIP)

Busts portrait (WIP)

Colored pencil on sketch paper 8.5" x 11"

What began as a 'normal' commissioned portrait has become upon request a surreal commissioned portrait. lol. After the change in direction I quickly decided to turn them into sculpted busts with a fun background and environment. He's a Bears fan and she's a Broncos fan so I'll be having fun putting their respective teams logos on the stem of each bust. I'll save the logos till the end so I can post everything up to that point here. I love it when people change their minds and let me do what I want.

Progress inspired by Lady Bugs

I'm thinking of the title being 'Along came a Lady'

Still attempting to some how finish this before the CPM deadline on the 10th, we'll see.

Everything else is from imagination no references.

Got inspired by a set of shadows that pranced across the surface where I was drawing and resembled lady bugs.

Sneak peak at progress, dead line is 12/10. Piece is being directed by how it's been showing up in my dreams lately.

Next attempt

I didn't like how the first one was going so I did this today. I'm not completely thrilled with this progress either. I'll finish this and probably make at least one more attempt at justifying my efforts.

Thought I'd give you an idea of what I was working on today. I should be finished with it by tomorrow.
