Hello fam, today I'd like to share this portrait I did recently for a new friend in the states. I had it shipped safely over there from Nigeria and it brought so much joy to them.

I've only taken a few commissions recently as I spend more time creating for myself nowadays, every time I do I want it to be really worth it

I took my time on this one, laying a freehand sketch where I studied the proportions to start. The angle and lighting were just perfect and isn't she just adorable! I enjoyed working on this one.

Below are some progress shots...

I use a brush to apply a base layer of charcoal powder, building the bigger tonal relationships first

Medium: Graphite and Charcoal on paper!

I hope you like this as much as the couple did, I absolutely love this too. Thanks for stopping by once again 💚
