      @smceccarelli Perhaps selling as a limited print-run of one could compensate for the lack of an original (haha) 😛 No, in all honesty, who would buy the print of a portrait of someone else (or someone elses relative) - it's probably only interesting for the commissioner anyway 🙂

      I've given this some thought - I can't really work much traditionally as it triggers inflammation in arms/elbows/shoulders/upper back. This has been an issue for years, and will probably always be an issue as long as I continue to work full time as a graphic designer. My spare time activities has to be less of a burden on these areas, unfortunately I mainly like to do stuff that are tough on the arms. Like knitting, crochet, drawing and such 😛 I find that digital drawing allows me more drawing time, due to less friction between surface and stylus - not to mention the fact that the undo-feature makes my drawings looser and not inhibited by the fear of making mistakes. I still sketch a little traditionally from time to time, but try to limit it.

          Finished - it was actually more interesting than I thought. It was fun to get back to pastel after so much time. A bit of a struggle, but I guess you never forget.
          Meanwhile, I have put that awesome printer on my wish list 🙂

              Really lovely - technically so proficient but also lets their personality shine. I'm sure the family will be very happy with the commission!

                    I don't know what your subjects look like, but these are very natural looking and full of life. Well done!
